Playing With / Dustbin School

Go To

  • Basic Trope: A school where problem children are primarily enrolled.
  • Straight: Troperton School is mostly comprised of children who have been Expelled from Every Other School.
  • Exaggerated:
    • Troperton School is entirely comprised of children who have committed extremely serious crimes and are considered a danger to society.
    • Troperton Schools is designed like a prison.
    • In order to become a teacher in Troperton School, potential employees must have a degree in psychology, and have to take self-defense classes over the course of the summer break.
    • Troperton School's entire student body is comprised of literal demons and other monsters.
  • Downplayed:
    • Troperton School is mostly comprised of children with severe learning disabilities, but not destructive ones.
    • Troperton School is a very prestigious school with a mostly good reputation, but its problem students are all dumped in the same class.
  • Justified:
    • Troperton School only hires teachers who have the patience of a saint for this exact reason.
    • Troperton School is very far away from civilization, so parents only use it as a last resort.
    • The town of Troperton has a very high crime rate, so many children raised they are extremely troubled by nature.
    • Troperton School is the school section of Troperton Juvenile Detention Center, and was constructed for the purpose of reforming juvenile offenders.
  • Inverted: Troperton School is entirely comprised of Grade Skippers.
  • Subverted: Most of the kids at Troperton School are actually decent kids when you get to know them.
  • Double Subverted: They are also very good at hiding their true personalities.
  • Parodied:
  • Zig-Zagged:
  • Averted: Troperton School does not have a reputation for having particularly challenging students.
  • Enforced: The writers want to emphasize how terrible some of the children in Troperton really are.
  • Lampshaded: "You know, every kid I've encountered who is absolutely horrible to deal with always ends up at that school."
  • Invoked: Parents start to deliberately enroll their kids in Troperton School after they are expelled.
  • Exploited:
  • Defied:
  • Discussed:
  • Conversed:
  • Deconstructed: Due to the nature of the students, nobody wants to work at Troperton School. The severely understaffed school is effectively rendered defunct because they cannot find a single person who would dare step a foot in there.
