He wears fancy suits to show off.

He thinks Dr. Thaddeus is "full of himself."

He thinks Dr. Thaddeus is "one of the good ones" and he puts him on his guard.

To make him quit before his retirement.

Because he is the teacher with the most experience.

Jake spread rumors that Mr. Kermit was a terrible teacher who handed out copies of the test to all of the kids.

Jake played a practical joke on Mr. Kermit and damaged his car.

Jake was mean to Mr. Kermit's fiance Fiona and he never forgave him.

Why is Parker in SCS-8?

Why is reading hard for Parker?

The letters look all jumbled up to him.

He never learned how to read when he was little.

His parents never made him go to school because he worked on the farm.

He forgot, like Grams. Memory problems run in his family.

Why doesn't Parker like it when Grams calls him "kiddo?"

It is more proof that she is losing her memory. She can't remember his name.

He is too mature to be referred to as "kiddo."

He offered to carry her books for her.

He buttered the floor to get back at Parker for almost hitting Kiana with his truck.

He protected her from Elaine - Rhymes with Pain.

Every one is scared of her because she is rumored to have done things that require great strength.

What does Aldo feel he has in common with Mr. Kermit? (There is only ONE perfect answer).

He has anger management problems.

He is in love with Miss Fountain.

Why did Mr. Kermit and Fiona break up?

The scandal from the test stealing was a strain on their relationship.

Mr. Kermit did not want children, and Fiona did.

Fiona fell in love with Gil Fountain.

Fiona fell in love with Jake Terranova.

Mr. Kermit is drawn to Miss Fountain, but she also makes him a little sad. Why?

She is a "living, breathing, bucket-filling reminder of the life he missed out on."

She is "a time-machine - the spitting image of her mother."

She is "like his daughter from an alternate universe."

She is a "pain, a wrench in his plans to retire sent straight from that jerk Thaddeus."

Why is Mr. Kermit so attached to his broken down 1992 Chrysler Concorde?

He and Fiona bought it together to start their life with.

This was his first car as a teenager and he is attached to it.

It is the money - he can't afford a new on on his teacher's salary.

Miss Fountain drives a Prius - what can that tell us about her personality?

She cares about the environment.

She couldn't afford anything else.

She doesn't have good taste in cars.

It probably belongs to her mother.

What are Mateo Hendrickson's favorite things to do?

How can we tell that Mateo is curious and wants to learn?

He is the only one (other than Parker) who asks questions in class.

He dreams of being in another class where they do real work.

He sneaks into Miss Fountain's classroom to listen to her teach.

Mateo tells the reader that the only fun they have in school is:

Trying to guess what word Parker means when he is reading. They all laugh at him.

Throwing paper airplanes at Mr. Kermit.

Trying to get Aldo Braff so angry that he kicks the vending machine or punches the wall.

Stealing Barnstorm's crutches so that he can't get around.

When the Pep Rally was announced, Barnstorm got really angry and started pounding his desk with his crutches, Why?

After he hurt himself, he was excluded from all the activities of the football team. He felt forgotten.

He was excited because he loves pep rallies and he lost his Vuvuzela.

He thought that SCS-8 wouldn't be invited to the Pep rally because they get into trouble.

He was too tired and sore from his injury to go to the pep rally. He wanted to stay back in the classroom.

Mr. Kermit swings into action and contacts as many people as possible. He gets Barnstorm reinstated to the football team and invited to the pep rally. Mateo thinks he did it because:

He would have one less kid to watch.

He was passionate about making sure his students had equal opportunities.

He was bored and wanted to argue with someone about something.

It was a way he could take his frustrations out on someone.

The students clap and cheer for Mr. Kermit when he got Barnstorm into the pep rally. Why do you think the kids were so excited?

No one had ever stuck up for them before.

They could cause all kinds of havoc at a pep rally!

They heard there would be hot dogs served at the rally.

Mateo has a great time at the rally - he has never cheered at a rally before - why?

He never knew anyone on one of the teams before - now that he does, he feels a rush of school spirit.

He was too busy reading his books.

He didn't like sports and used to skip the rallies.

He was shy and afraid of drawing attention to himself.

Why hasn't Kiana told her father and stepmonster about the fact that she still isn't registered at school?

She would have to explain where she has been for the past 2 weeks.

She figures she is going back to California soon anyway, so it won't matter.

She thinks that she wouldn't learn anything - even from the "genius classes" because Greenwich is a "one-horse town."

She has a crush on Aldo Braff and she doesn't want to leave SCS-8.

Miss Fountain invites SCS-8 to "circle time," what is supposed to happen during circle time?

The kids are supposed to go around the circle and compliment one another.

They are supposed to take turns playing with Vladimir the Lizard.

They are supposed to show what they have brought to school for show and tell.

They are supposed to take turns reading.

What ACTUALLY happens during "circle time?"

Elaine surprises everyone by being the only person to compliment someone nicely.

Aldo tells the group that they have stinky feet.

Barnstom comes in late and hits Aldo on the head with his crutch as he sits down.

Aldo has a fit of anger and shoves the crutch, knocking Vladimir's cage over.

Vladimir the lizard gets away and is FREE.

How do we know that Mr. Kermit has lost interest in EVERYTHING , not just school?

He doesn't even care enough to go grocery shopping.

He sleeps all day on his couch.

He writes in his journal about how he misses the days when he loved teaching.

What does Mr. Kermit see on the way to work EVERYDAY that drives him nuts?

A billboard advertising Jake Terranova's successful car dealership business. He also drives past the dealership.

A McDonald's restaurant. He gets mad because he never has time to stop for a McFlurry.

Vladimir the lizard happily eating the falafel.

A hole in the floor of his car!

A twenty dollar bill that he dropped a year ago.

An old sock that he uses to wipe the dust off the dashboard.

Mr. Kermit is actually excited to give Vladimir back to Miss Fountain because he thinks of her as "his daughter from an alternate universe," but as he arrives at her classroom he overhears what?

Miss Fountain talking to her mom telling her that Mr. Kermit is MORE thabn burned out, he is barely alive!

Why didn't Parker mind being called "kiddo" when his Grandpa and Grams ran their Luncheonette?

Because in those days Grams definitely knew his name (she hadn't started forgetting things yet)

Grandpa thought it was a cool nickname.

He got candy if he allowed her to call him kiddo.

He was more patient years ago. Now Parker has anger issues.

How does Parker's grandmother explain her "forgetfulness?"

She wanted to see if Parker was paying attention.

She is hoping people will think she is getting too old and won't ask her to work on the farm.

When Parker's mom asks him how school is going, he tells her it is "fine." Why doesn't he tell her that he is in a special program (SCS-8) and that Mr. Kermit is a bad teacher?

He is afraid she will want a meeting with the school and his family is too busy with the farm. He doesn't want to be any trouble.

She would be angry at him for having trouble reading.

He thinks Mr. Kermit is a great teacher and doesn't want to get him in trouble.

He has a crush on Kiana and doesn't want his mom to take him out of SCS-8.

What does the following quote say about Miss Fountain? "Miss Fountain is in her classroom, rearranging the smiley faces on her job boards. There's already a Hershey's Kiss sitting in the middle of each desk."

She has to bribe her class with treats to make them behave.

She is impatient, and wants to get the day started.

She is trying to make Mr. Kermit look bad.

Why did Parker like "circle time" the day that The Unteachables joined Miss Fountain's class?

He felt comfortable during circle time because he was not expected to read anything.

He liked Hershey's Kisses and was hoping to get some.

He love Vladimir the lizard, and he was hoping to play with him.

He had a crush on Elaine and he was hoping he'd be asked to say something nice about her.
