The Reliable Teacher[1], named Ms. Frizzle in the credits for "The Frizz Connection," is one of the the three Frizzle Fragments, acting as the personification of Ms. Frizzle's serious, ethical, reasonable, and safety-oriented side. As the third of the Fragments, she is, as she puts it, “the reliable teacher who only wants to observe and learn from a safe distance.” Her third of the unit is Ms. Frizzle’s head.
Contrary to the unit and her sister, the Reliable Teacher is against the motto of “Take chances, make mistakes, and get messy,” going for “Salutem primem” (Latin for safety first) instead.
Trivia[]
- According to the series' design team, the Reliable Teacher was originally going to wear a pencil skirt, but this design was scrapped in favor of thin pants for the "serious look," and to allow for more fluid animations[2].
