Episode Detail: Testing, Testing - What About Joan
A standardized test is coming up and Joan's strategy for her students (“a little trick I call teaching”) won't cut it with the principal (Tim Kazurinsky). Her answer (reluctantly) is “Sir Answerlot”---the accomplished test-taker Jake---who offers to prepare the kids. “I promise you you'll learn nothing,” he tells them, “except how to ace this test.” Joan finds his attitude appalling, and that prompts her to wonder about other ways she and Jake might differ.
