{{quote|''"Now that I think about it, there seems to be a lot of people from the same class as last year. I wonder why? It's so mysterious.

After a long year of bonding experiences, the [[Wacky Homeroom]] finishes up its school year, [[Captain Obvious|and will soon begin its next one]]. But if there are multiple homerooms in the school, there's a chance that the students from last year's homeroom could get split up. The students will have to make new friends and adjust to a new classroom environment.
Line 6:
But wait! When the student rosters are posted, it turns out the [[True Companions]] get to spend another year together. They've even got the same teacher as last year. What a wonderful turn of events.
Of course, the writers don't want to waste all of the character development that occurred over the previous year. Splitting apart the group of friends that form the central cast of the story is suicide, and it's a waste of a character to put [[Sensei
Very commonly seen in school dramas or comedies in Japan. Typically does not apply to high schools in Western settings, due to the fact that homerooms either do not exist or are rarely used.

* [[Averted]] and [[Discussed]] in ''[[Girl Friends]]'', when the characters move from second to third year. The main couple stay in the same class, but they gain a new social circle and slowly lose contact with their old friends.

* On ''[[Boy Meets World]]'', this is done with Cory, Shawn and Topanga at the start of season two and briefly mentioned at the start of season three. Every year after that they continued to be in the same class together ([[Two-Teacher School|and have the same teacher]]), but this is never addressed again in-show.

* Mostly averted on [[Ned's Declassified School Survival Guide]], where the kids are shown to be in different level classes based on skill, get new teachers when they move from 7th to 8th grade etc (the fact they don't have the same classes together as the year before is even a plot point in the pilot). However "evil" science teacher Mr. Sweeny does follow them up from 7th to 8th (to their collective horror) and the class is populated with the same few recurring characters as before.
