I've never heard of them having tutors on set for under 5s. But like I said there's no noticeable different in looks between age 17 and 18 so I don't know why they are stressing the must look 17.

Any kids on set, even extras, would require the studio teacher being there. That's their schooling for the day (3-4 hours or so).

When they tape the Christmas episode, since they use 10 to 15 kids as extras, plus Johnny/Allie/Ciara/Theo/etc..., they actually had THREE studio teachers that day. I guess they need one teacher per every 8 kids or so.

Yes, anyone under 18 needs a studio teacher on set. They don't go to school the day of taping, so the studio teacher serves as their teacher for the day.

There were 3 teachers needed the day that the Christmas episode was taped, since they had Johnny/Allie/Sydney/Ciara/Theo/Joey plus the 10 or so hospital patient extras.

This confusion is going on at many of the boards I posted this on. Sorry for the confusion!!

The role of Seth Burns (principal/recurring) is not a "school principal." It's the type of role (principal) that Seth is. Any character with more than 5 lines of dialogue in an episode is called a Principal Performer. Sami is a principal. John is a principal. When they talk a lot, even Ciara and Theo are principals.

Three types of roles on TV shows:

Principals: Any character with at least 5 lines of dialogue in an episode.

Under Fives: Any character with less than 5 lines of dialogue in an episode.

Extras/Atmosphere: No dialogue; provide background for a scene.
