rod belding (portrayed by ed blatchford) is mr. belding's brother, who steps in as a substitute teacher during junior year after mr. dickerson has a mental breakdown. he initially makes a hip impression on the students because of his happy-go-lucky attitude, world-weary demeanor, and tales of defying authority and schoolwork. rod arranges to take the students on the rafting trip for their annual class trip (ruining mr. belding's plans to visit yosemite park) and attempts to teach them about it. mr. belding is overshadowed by his brother's connection with the students, which is evident in a minor confrontation they have when mr. belding tells his brother he is not to be teaching the kids whitewater rafting on official class time. after zack accuses him of being jealous of rod, he soon finds out what he's really like on the inside. during a confrontation with the brothers, rod tries to skip out of the trip just to meet a stewardess named inga. mr. belding is furious that rod would abandon his commitment to the students and orders him never to come back to bayside. rod leaves as zack ducks behind some lockers to avoid his sight. not wanting to upset his students, mr. belding claims that rod is ill. however, when he offers to chaperone the trip instead, the students happily and gratefully accept. zack, who had secretly overheard the incident, tells his principal that “we got the better belding.”
