Appearance[]
The teacher is a Caucasian woman with a skinny build, pale skin and long hair. In all of her appearances, she wears glasses and a hairband.

In contrast, in Seasons 8 through 10, she has blonde hair and wears a pink hairband, a white polo shirt, a gray skirt, and black heels.
History[]
Season 1[]
In "Shins of the Father", while Bobby was about to leave his table after eating lunch in the cafeteria, the teacher reminded him that he needed to bus his tray. Scoffing at the request, Bobby, who was influenced by his grandfather Cotton's misogynist attitude, retorted that he would not do so because it was “women's work”. Protesting the idea, he banged his tray on the table and repeated the phrase “women's work”, causing other children to repeat the same thing and start a massive food fight. As a result, the teacher reprimanded Bobby, who was sent home.
Season 2[]
In "Peggy's Turtle Song", some day before Mother's Day, the teacher told her class that she believed it would be fun to talk about famous mothers throughout history. Before she could specify the things that made the women famous, the sugar-hyped Bobby raised his hand and asked if they were famous for owning slaves. Confused, the teacher denied it and attempted to get back to her subject when Bobby repeated the phrase "going to say" multiple times. Irked, the teacher called his name, causing Bobby to say his own name to her back and forth until she sternly said that it would be best if he went to the principal's office. Agreeing without hesitation, Bobby ran out of the class and was later mistakenly diagnosed with having ADHD due to his hyper behavior that was actually caused by a large intake of sugar that morning.
Season 3[]
In "Love Hurts and So Does Art", the multi-subject teacher taught her class about diseases of the Middle Ages, and since Bobby had gout due to his overconsumption of purine-rich foods, he told the class about what he learned at the doctor's office. Sitting at her desk, the teacher listened to him mention the gout belt of the lower Balkans, as well as Bobby dancing around the question of him being able to go to the school dance.
Later, in "Take Me Out of the Ball Game", the teacher was seen handing out yearbooks to students who purchased them.
Season 8[]
In "Stressed for Success", her students gave their presentations on the U.S. presidents that they researched about. Listening to Ramon Alejandro claim that John F. Kennedy "bagged Marilyn Monroe" after "bagging" another woman, the teacher facepalmed in embarrassment. Since Alejandro's presentation was the fifth Kennedy presentation, she asked the class if anyone did a report on a different president. Seeing Bobby raise his hand, the teacher called him up. To her surprise, Bobby gave his presentation on Martin Sheen's portrayal of a fictional president from the TV show The West Wing. Speaking up, the teacher reminded him that their presentations were supposed to be about real-life presidents, saying that Martin Sheen was an actor. Disagreeing, Bobby replied that her claim was false in light of Sheen's poverty bill that helped 50 million Americans, causing the teacher to sigh in stress.
Season 9[]
In "Smoking and the Bandit", the teacher was briefly seen in the cafeteria as Bobby and Joseph stormed out to protest schoolwork they deemed unfair.
Season 10[]
In "A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Clown", the teacher was telling the class about the haiku, a form of Japanese poetry, when Bobby raised his hand. She called on him, but Bobby smiled and joked that he was merely stretching, making the students laugh. Though annoyed, she continued her lesson until Bobby again raised his hand seconds later. The teacher sternly asked Bobby what he wanted, to which he responded that his hand was being lifted because of a magnet in the ceiling that attracted his pencil. As soon as the school bell rang a second later, Bobby joked that the magnet had stopped, making the teacher shake her head.
