ReportFired from his band and hard up for cash, guitarist and vocalist Dewey Finn finagles his way into a job as a fifth-grade substitute teacher at a private school, where he secretly begins teaching his students the finer points of rock 'n' roll.

It's not really abuse. The kid's parents don't really care about them in the beginning of the movie.

there is a scene, played for laughs, in which an adult tells a room full of parents that he has “been touched” by their children, which some of the parents appear to misinterpret as being about sexual abuse, but nothing actually happens

at one point, Summer and two other schoolgirls are designated as the 'groupies' of the class band. she later researches what this means and confronts Dewey about it, visibly uncomfortable, calling groupies 'sluts who sleep with the band.'

"Sissy" is a homophobic/transphobic term (if not deemed a slur by that many people) and is used repeatedly to describe name suggestions.

The song during the film’s credits has the characters suddenly acknowledging that the movie’s almost over yet they’re still on screen and people should clear out as the next screening is about to begin

Jack Black's character is very accepting of the children and their differences, but his nicknames for them might be triggering for sensitive viewers.

nothing explicit/pictured, just mentioned - when talking about his old band, Dewey references that the members were themed after Incubi - an ex-band member responds, "I'm not a satanic sex-god any more." groupies are also mentioned, along with the word 'slut' and 'sleeping with.'
