Toby, I believe the proper idiom is "A whole 'nother ballgame." It is derived from the expression "Another whole ballgame." If you're going to teach at the community college level, you're going to have to learn the slang of the young, or you will become the laughingstock of the miniature figurine department.

Per your secret message, Wanders, I wouldn't worry. Toby has only two students in her class: Mary and Wilbur.

Ian the great educator has promised to teach Mary (and various other worthiverse denizens) the proper way to hold a phone just as soon as Wilbur teaches him the proper way to hold a donut that's been topped with sticky pink frosting, or perhaps bubblegum.
Ah, this must be June’s subtle salute to Valentine’s Day, with Toby’s pink heart mug and Ian scarfing down a pink-frosted donut (Chinbeard’s Breakfast of Champion Scholars).
Toby actually said “sigh” instead of sighing.
So Toby took a job in academe instead of sitting poolside with Mary, swigging gin, and gossiping about the other Charterstone residents. How will Mary insinuate a meddle into this? (Re your secret message, Wanders, that was my immediate thought too.)
Karen seems extremely into strange May-December pairups in general (Ziris, Darlan, Wabiana, Dawn + Jared's boss, Ian & Toby herself, Ian + chain-smoking student vixen, etc etc). So sadly I wouldn't be at all surprised if your secret message comes to pass.
That or a student will call her "ma'am" and Toby will immediately melt down and brokenly power-walk back to Charterstone wailing about her lost youth.
Perhaps Toby IS getting old if one of the most memorable things from her birthday party is Mary's carrot muffins, so much so that they make it into her pillow talk with Ian. I small a lame Romance plot nearby...
Toby becoming an educator at a post-secondary education institution is every bit as unbelievable as Fat Drunk and Stupid surviving his dip in the ocean. Wow, talk about a fauxprof! (No offense, real Fauxprof!)
I so hope that we see her at work in a classroom.

I kinda wanna see Toby teaching about "miniature figurines" take an... unexpected twist.
"All right, you cretins, THIS is an Imperium Armiger Warglaive. THAT is a Necron Hexmark Destoyer. So help me, if you screw this up ONE MORE TIME, you'll be dealing with the Charterstone Chaos Meddler. You do NOT want to deal with the Charterstone Chaos Meddler."
(Apologies in advance if I got those names wrong; never played WH40K, but I wanted the names to sound right.)
I could forgive the recycled student flirting with prof storyline as long as it's the My Little Pony bro. He took up smoking and wants to sell figurines to bronies.
Oh please! How is Toby credentialed to teach anything? Even SRCC has some standards!
I’m hoping Jannie will be one of Toby’s students and will try to get her passing grade by sucking Toby into a BFF relationship.
That guy is creepy. He has the face of a 20-year old and the beard of a 60-year old.
