I'm going outside to not smoke a few cigarettes...
- Ms. LaBonz

Ms. LaBonz is a fourth-grade teacher at Wagstaff School and the drama advisor. She's one of the 'duller' faculty members of the school who won't tolerate any kind of nonsense, including Louise Belcher's. She loathes her job, but when it comes to her students, if it means having them hate her, she'd accept that as long as it motivates them to learn. She doesn't speak in her first appearance in "Human Flesh," but she talks later in "Lobsterfest."

She is voiced by H. Jon Benjamin.

Profile[]

Appearance[]

Ms. LaBonz is a heavyset woman who appears to be middle-aged, with a fold under her chin. She has brown curly hair kept short, and wears large glasses. Her standard dresses is dark-red with yellow frills on the collar and sleeves.

Personality[]

LaBonz, as a teacher, can be very apathetic, as shown such as how she never bothered to learn Andy and Ollie Pesto's real names and a hatred of doing school-related activities outside of school hours, as with the overnight aquarium lock-up, and when Louise was in trouble at the Esther Margaret Marionette-Odeum and made to sit on the bus, she was more concerned with playing a game on her cell phone than with keeping an eye on Louise. On at least three occasions, she has stolen school supplies such as coffee filters and even a printer in broad daylight while making up an excuse for why she carried them ("Bob Actually"). Despite her hatred for her job, when she thought she was about to be fired, she let out a slightly profane tirade in front of the students and Mr. Frond that she was not going anywhere before being told she was not being retired ("Wag the Song").

LaBonz can also be vindictive and competitive, as seen when Gene and Courtney were doing their morning announcements for the school and she recruited Ms. Merkin to help, even yelling at Gene and Courtney. She also displays a strict method of discipline towards students, such as unilaterally banning Burobu cards when students kept trading them in class, and repeated scolding lousy for her numerous pranks and antics.

However, LaBonz also has some softness in her core. When caught smoking by Zeke who asked for a cigarette since it was "cool," she had to hastily cover and tell him it as not. She also sees that Louise is a good student when she wants to but and tries to motivate her, sometimes using Louise's anger and sense of vengeance to get A-grade work ("Touch of Eval(uations)").

Main article: Ms. LaBonz/Story

Ms. LaBonz is the dismissive fourth-grade teacher at Wagstaff. On her breaks, she goes outside to smoke cigarettes ("Midday Run") or gamble online on the school computers ("Crystal Mess"). Ms. LaBonz doesn't like her job, but according to her coworker, the only reason why she still hasn't quit is because of "Martini Tuesdays," when she can hang out with her coworkers (the ones she likes, aka not Mr. Frond) every Tuesday and drink martinis. Despite these rumors, she won't let anyone fire her before putting up a fight ("Wag the Song"). While she despises her job, she knows ingenuity when she sees it and wants to help her students reach their highest potential. Her class includes Louise Belcher, Andy and Ollie Pesto, Millie Frock, Wayne, Regular-Sized Rudy, Jessica, Kaylee Morganstern, Arnold Evans, Hogarth Haber, Jeremy, & Seth Feldman.

Phillip Frond[]

Like the rest of her coworkers, LaBonz has an disregard and sometimes outright hatred of Mr. Frond, , such as not inviting him to the faculty drinking nights because of his judgmental attitude, preferring to listen to Louise's pronouncements as acting principal while ignoring him saying Louise had no authority, and blaming him for the chaos around the teacher evaluations where the students used it to blackmail the teachers. In spite of this, she and Ambrose worked with Frond to try and cover up the use of the school's water park trip money on coffee pods.

In general, LaBonz has a poor relationship with most of her students, often forgetting their names and having overall apathy towards their concerns.
