Starting School (3x243)

Air date: Mar 27, 2015

Fall is here and it’s time to start school! And what’s the most important part of school? Math? Reading? Arts and crafts? WRONG! It’s sitting quietly and watching educational shorts about other kids doing all of those things! Kids like Mark, who wants to be a (verbatim quote) “telephone person” when he grows up. Or Michael, who informs teacher that the sound of a beating heart sounds like (yet again another direct quote) “boxing gloves.” Or Damon, who… Oh boy, let’s just say that Damon is going to have some issues once the other kids start learning what “beating up the biggest dork in school” is. Joining these little tykes are teacher’s casual sexism, impressions of Indians that are still stuck in the 1870s (or 2015 NFL teams), and a completely needless frame story, and you’ve got our latest baffling “educational” short: Starting School!
