** Some other brilliance from O'neil as well: He may be somewhat of a well meaning but out of touch teacher, but he actually ''does'' have a point: Sometimes limitations can bring about creativity. And this is something that has been proven true.

And this is something that has been proven true. The fact that he told Daria to use people she knows as character is both good advice: He told her to WriteWhoYouKnow, and that itself is also somewhat of a challenge.
* Mr. [=DeMartino=] is shown to be quite good with late elementary-middle school age kids. So why doesn't he work with them? RuleOfFunny? Well... look at his appearance. He'd be ''quite'' intimidating. This is a challenge men face in education: Looking and sounding intimidating, even if one doesn't mean it.

** It's also one of the reaosns why her "Successful" story is the idealised future. In every other story, she put the characters in a fantastical situation... and of course, would have trouble thinking of what they would do in such a thing without making them act incredibly out of character.

* "Write where it hurts" depicts some brilliance in other ways - Daria's [=WIPs=] that depict her family are far more complete than when she is writing other characters. Why is that? She knows ''them'' the most.

* Kevin actually ''buying'' the car instead of simply learning the process is itself an EpicFail... but it also actually further reinforces Diane's point about why this assignment was a ''group'' assignment: Kevin went to the dealer's ''without'' Mac to put a down payment on the car. Even single people are often advised to, when making major purchases or taking out loans, talk to someone they can trust who is ''not'' associated with the institution at all: because many of them actually ''do'' want to make money. In fact? [[TruthInTelevision Some high school Econ teachers have actually copied this assignment]].

* In "Fizz Ed", Principal Li is shown to rank low in the ranking of not only principals [[OverlyNarrowSuperlative but even Asian educators]]. But considering her disastrous policies and self-centered behavior, [[HatedByAll it is no wonder that even the educational establishment doesn't think much of her]]. In that episode alone, she turned her school into a cash cow for a soda company, bribed students into drinking more to the point it got them sick, and even was hospitalized when the stress of meeting the sales quota drove her mad.

Added DiffLines:

* While it's PlayedForLaughs in "Just Add Water", "Antisocial Climbers", and "Daria Hunters", just how long were Kevin, Brittany, and Sandi left behind? In the days before Cell Phones (and in the case of Antisocial Climbers, in a place like a mountain that likely has poor cell phone reception) this would be ''horrifying''.

* Tiffany turns up to the mother/daughter fashion show having asked for the prettiest model from a modelling agency. They send a very tall and thin black model - to play her mother. We're supposed to work out that this is an unvoiced, unofficial cameo by Naomi Campbell.

* As nonsensical as "Depth Takes a Holiday" was, it's not the first time something that strange happened in this universe: Beavis and Butthead themselves have met with a spirit of Christmas in their own show's "It's a Miserable Life" (in fact, Daria herself cameo'd as being happier in life and even having a boyfriend).

* The episode "Boxing Daria" shows younger Quinn desperately trying to get her parents attention while they are worrying over Daria's unwillingness to be friendly with others. That may reveal another strong reason why Quinn neglects her education in favor of popularity: competing with Daria academically is futile because Daria would likely always overshadow her in grades and academic achievements, but popularity is the one thing Quinn can do better than Daria.
