*NotSoWellIntentionedExtremist: Caldicott first appears to be amicable towards new students and wants to assist them with their problems, but it's merely a guise to mind-control them for the sake of his ego. What makes it worse is that he made his daughter Betty the first to be experimented on simply because "she wasn't that bright to begin with", showing that he has contempt for teenagers.

** Mr. Newberry and Dr. Caldicott are both named for awards given to children's books. The UsefulNotes/NewberyMedal is for contributions to literature, while the Caldecott Medal is for pretty artwork -- and the Blue Ribbon program is all about keeping up appearances.

* NoQuestionsAsked: Played with. The parents of Blue Ribbons do ask ''some'' questions, though sometimes far too late, but it seems clear that they never asked the ''real'' question: what exactly does Caldicott ''do'' to their children that causes a complete personality reset with a few days? They're just too desperate to have their "troubled" teenagers "fixed. Also, even when they do ask questions, Caldicott blatantly lies to them.
