Added DiffLines:
* GoodBehaviorPoints: Ms. Applegate has a more unethical take on this trope: She gives gold stars to students who get their classmates killed, since she hates all of them. Her route centres around getting ''all'' the other children killed in various ways, and she rewards the protagonist with a gold star each time, as well as a lunch pass once you've gotten rid of them all.

Crosswicking from the trope page.
Added DiffLines:
* PlayingHouse: Some missions require the player character to play "house" with Cindy. It usually goes into dark themes like domestic abuse, alcoholism, cheating, and abortion, which makes sense for a CrapsackWorld where the kids act [[TroublingUnchildlikeBehavior way too mature]].
