I believe this episode showcases the problems with "No Child Left Behind", from the stress teachers and the principal face to what schools are willing to do to raise their SAT scores.
As for the episode itself, I love how desperate Principal Moss is willing to go to make sure his school passes. Labeling every "D" and "F" student as a "Special Needs" child was one thing, but then he goes to every classroom and labels any daydreamer as a "Special Needs" child.
It astounds me that they are willing to do this instead of actually trying to teach them.
I was with Hank Hill when he says: "If the school is spending money on these kids, whose teaching the kids who really needs it."
A great episode that provides great social commentary on a current issue facing America nationwide.moreless
Episode Summary
EDIT
In order to raise the school's average for standardized tests, Principal Moss classifies Bobby as a low achievement student. However, the plan backfires after Bobby is placed in a class where he no longer has to do homework and doesn't have to take the tests.moreless
