Mr. DeMartino appears to have a general dislike for most of the student body at [[Lawndale High]], because the majority of them are either lazy, slackers, or absurdly stupid. All of these characteristics in turn make his job less fulfilling. However students that are usually well behaved, such as [[Jane Lane]], seldom arouse his true ire and Mr. DeMartino's is rarely violent towards any of the student body with the exception of Kevin (who he once started strangling). Kevin's near mythic levels of idiocy and stupidity constantly frustrate Mr. DeMartino's efforts to teach, as Kevin appears incapable of learning practically anything beyond a football play. Kevin also seems incapable of noticing when DeMartino is ranting at or insulting him. |

Students such as Daria, that are not only capable of learning but quite willing to do so, do not frustrate him. Mr. DeMartino at times seems pleased with their academic work, even if they are not the brightest but have merely tried hard, such as the case of Quinn on occasion; he also has remarked semi-favourably when Brittany actually manages to understand a question and give the right answer. After attempting to get a correct answer of an imbecile of his class, usually Kevin, he then calls on such students who readily provide the answer he was searching for. These students are rarely, if ever, the targets of his direct tirades and only suffer his classroom discipline when the class as a whole is being punished. |

In the case of Daria specifically, he first found her answers "suspiciously good" and barked at her to "stop showing off!". As time went on, he grew more in her favour, once remarking in "[[The Daria Hunter]]" that "your sarcasm ''amuses'' me, Daria" and, in "[[Just Add Water]]", telling her that she made him "want to kill myself a little less" than the rest of her class. In "Antisocial Climbers", he aoppreciated and swiftly agreed to Daria and Jane's offer to assist him, and attempted to keep them safe in a group. During her graduation, when she received an award for academic achievement, DeMartino cheered her on with "very good, Daria! You ''go'', girlfriend!". |
