Continuity mistake: When Mrs. Tingle is holding the diary in the classroom, you can see that her nails are short, but later in the movie when her right hand is untied by Jo Lynn, she has long nails.
Continuity mistake: Just before Mrs. Tingle shoots the arrow and accidentally hits Trudy, Leigh Ann is near the door trying to escape. She opens the lock, disappears and then the arrow hits Trudy. She couldn't have escaped without running into Trudy. (01:24:50)
Plot hole: Mrs. Tingle was tied to bed for longer time, fed by her students, but what about going to toilet within this period?
Principal Potter: I was thinking.
Mrs. Tingle: No, don't do that Mr. Potter, we still prefer that bristling wind effect you have on us.
Trivia: The film was originally titled "Killing Mrs. Tingle" and was set to premiere earlier. After the Columbine Shooting, the film was retitled "Teaching Mrs. Tingle" due to fears that it would feel too exploitive following the tragedy. Its release date was also shifted back slightly.
