* CommonKnowledge: Bart's StartOfDarkness is usually attributed to being bullied by his kindergarten teacher, with many fans suggesting that [[SmallRoleBigImpact she is the entire reason that much of the series happened to begin with]]. Except, while she is a hugely unpleasant {{Jerkass}} to him, it's actually stated by both Marge and Dr. Pryor that Bart's struggles are caused by his inability to fit in at school ''in general'', rather than because of him being specifically tormented by one person. Bart is never even shown interacting with her directly on his first day.

* MisBlamed: Many felt that Bart's unhappiness at school was shoved aside in favour of nurturing Lisa's gift. While the episode supports this to an extent, it's not really Lisa's fault as she was a toddler at the time and not consciously trying to steal their parents' attention.

Now IUEO. The Hindsight example mentions events that happened later in the timeline but were revealed and explored in flash-forwards of earlier episodes, meaning there isn't really "hindsight" here.

* HeartwarmingInHindsight: The kindergarten teacher Bart had to deal with here isn't the same one as the one that appeared in "Sideshow Bob Roberts", implying that karma caught up to her eventually.
** There is also the fact that in [[Recap/TheSimpsonsS4E6ItchyAndScratchyTheMovie an earlier episode]], the [[Main/TwentyMinutesIntoTheFuture Twenty Minutes Into The Future]] ending sees Bart as Chief Justice of Supreme Court. Karma has thankfully pissed on this teacher.

* AlternativeCharacterInterpretation: When Homer takes Lisa to the music store, he names a few instruments; "vio-ma-lin", "tuba-ma-ba", "oboe-mo-boe", and "saxo-ma-phone". Was this Homer not knowing how to pronounce the instruments properly or was he just making cute baby talk to Lisa?

* TheWoobie: It's very easy to feel bad for Bart in this episode. In the beginning of the flashback, he was very eager and enthusiastic about going to school. But when he got there, his teacher [[SadistTeacher wrote him off as a lost cause and was cold and condescending to him for no apparent reason other than sheer malice]], which briefly made Bart contemplate ''suicide''. Fortunately, Homer and Marge [[GoodParents at least tried to get therapeutic help for him]]... until they decided to focus their attention Lisa and her gifts, with Homer calling Bart a lost cause.

** The Season 24 episode "Black-Eyed, Please" would similarly pit Lisa against a SadistTeacher who hates her for no reason she can fathom. When Lisa properly declares her teacher a bully, Marge is shocked by the idea that it's possible for a teacher to treat a student that way and even goes to the school board to try to get the teacher removed, which emphasizes the fact that she and Homer never got the full story of what happened to Bart and simply believed that he was having difficulty adjusting.
