Corrected entry: In the scene where Leigh Ann is presenting her report, she says something about witches being burned in Salem. No witches were ever burned in Salem, they were hanged. (00:11:50)

Correction: A character mistake, and a very common one at that. Besides, Mrs Tingle fails Lee Anne on her report - perhaps that's why?

Corrected entry: At one point, Jo Lynn isn't talking to Leigh Ann because she slept with Luke, but when Mrs. Tingle is on the loose, Jo Lynn helps Leigh Ann take Mrs. Tingle down. When exactly did she forgive Leigh Ann? (01:21:30)

Correction: Jo Lynn forgives Leigh Ann off-screen - much of her anger that we saw on screen was her acting that way to try and trick Mrs. Tingle. She even says to Mrs. Tingle later "Don't tell me I can't act", or words to that effect. They deliberately don't show us the scene where they make up so that we find out with Mrs. Tingle that it's all been a ruse.

Shay

Correction: Trudy isn't shot dead (because of her book), so why wouldn't she breathe and move?

Corrected entry: At one point of the film, when Leigh Ann is confronting with Mrs. Tingle about why she's so mean, Mrs. Tingle mentions that she has lived in that American town since she was born. Why then, does she have a British accent?

Correction: Her parents could have been British, hence the British accent. She didn't actually have to live in Britain to have a British accent.

Other mistake: Sometimes in some scenes, you can see Mrs. Tingle's bra before they even open her pyjama jacket. For example, when Luke is feeding her the hamburger.

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.
