When the bell rang, it was the end of the first day of school. All of the students ran out of every classroom, except for Room 13. [[Nigel Ratburn|Mr. Ratburn]]'s third grade class filed out of the classroom in alphabetical order. Mr. Ratburn said that he will see his class tomorrow. [[Arthur Read]], [[Buster Baxter]], [[Francine Frensky]], [[Muffy Crosswire]], the [[Alan Powers|Brain]], [[Binky Barnes]], and some others were Mr. Ratburn's students.

[[Arthur Read]], [[Buster Baxter]], [[Francine Frensky]], [[Muffy Crosswire]], the [[Alan Powers|Brain]], [[Binky Barnes]], and some others were Mr. Ratburn's students. In the hallway, they run into [[Prunella Deegan]] who is in the fourth grade, and she tells them she had Mr. Ratburn when she was in the third grade, and that she fears something terrible might happen to them. Binky claims that one wrong move would cause Mr. Ratburn to put the students on death row, and another boy named [[Chris]] claims that Mr. Ratburn is a vampire with magical powers. | ||
While everyone was leaving, the principal, [[Francis Haney|Mr. Haney]] was asking the students if they were ready for the September spellathon, and everyone cheered "Yes!". Then Mr. Haney asks who is going to win, and the students all say that they're all going to win. Prunella then asks that if she wins again, she might get her name on the trophy twice. | While everyone was leaving, the principal, [[Francis Haney|Mr. Haney]] was asking the students if they were ready for the September spellathon, and everyone cheered "Yes!".

===Adaptations=== | ===Adaptations=== | ||
* ''Arthur's Teacher Trouble'' was adapted into a Living Books computer game by Brøderbund for Microsoft Windows and Apple Macintosh in 1993. However, it was re-released a number of times to become compatible with the later operating systems such as Windows 98, Windows 2000, Windows XP, Mac OS 8, Mac OS 9, and etc. Many of these games also included a book in the packaging. However, in the game, there were many color tone restrictions where many of the characters had their complexions restricted between pale and tan. However, some pages were based on more than just one page, and some of the text was omitted, modified, or only heard during a following of sequences. There were many things that could be clicked on and performed that never happened in the book. Also, on the page where Arthur is doing a project of Africa out of cookie dough, he is wearing blue pajamas like the later books where he was wearing white and blue striped pajamas, although his pajamas were previously yellow and red striped. The publisher, Brøderbund was acquired by The Learning Company in 2003, which set for a discontinuation of the Living Books series. | * ''Arthur's Teacher Trouble'' was adapted into a Living Books computer game by Brøderbund for Microsoft Windows and Apple Macintosh in 1993.

* Despite the story saying Mr. Ratburn's class filed out slowly in alphabetical order, the Brain and Buster were behind Francine, and Arthur was ahead of Alan (The Brain). This goof is likely due to the fact that Arthur is the titular character in the series. | * Despite the story saying Mr. Ratburn's class filed out slowly in alphabetical order, the Brain and Buster were behind Francine, and Arthur was ahead of Alan (The Brain).
