Ms. Frizzle

Her class goes on constant field trips to dangerous places and there are never any permission slips for any of them.

Maybe the parents signed a consent form for the field trips

What sort of dangerous places?

Probably suspension bridges and Rangoons.

GASP!

She encouraged children to have promiscuous sex with...random salmon!

At the beginning of the year there is a blanket permission slip for all field trips. Parents have to sign it or the kid is transferred to another class for kids the same age. There is also an activity fee, that helps to pay for maintenance on the bus. There is also a waiver for the kids to travel in a bus driven by Ms. Frizzle, or a lizzard.

Some parents won’t sign, and that is why the class size is kept so small.

It is a special pilot program. It seems to be working because the kids score much higher than the district average for science and creative writing. The only problem is the funding is always being threatened to be cut because parents of kids who can’t get in the program don’t like the unfair student-teacher ratio. Because of this it isn’t very popular with the school board.

Seatbelts everyone! Please let this be a normal field trip. With the Frizz? No way!

Am I the only one who remembers “Mission Magic” another show, a cartoon about a magic red headed teacher who took her class on magic field trips? She could draw a magic door on the blackboard and it would open to adventure. The kids in the class even looked the same, one kid with a ball cap (who has the same voice as Jughead from Archie). No science though. I think they had one cross over show with the Brady Kids cartoon. And, like Josie and the Pussycats, there was rock-and-roll thrown in with Rick Springfield (why? Because all young people like rock-and-roll of course!).

It's a cartoon, who cares.

One time I mentioned the magic school bus to an acquaintance but she hadn't heard of it so I showed her the theme song.

Her response was ' That's terrifying'.

I mean, she's not wrong!

I consider Ms Frizzle to be in the same category as Mary Poppins. Eccentric, otherworldly magical beings who bring joy and entertainment through unrestricted and downright dangerous use of magic.

Either the adults won't believe you or you must never tell them, otherwise your favourite person with borderline God like abilities will likely lose their job and end up in jail.

Personally I like to headcanon that Ms Frizzle was banished from another dimension so she started a new life as a teacher.
