Plot

After being selected Boating School Hall Monitor (after everyone else in class has been, sometimes twice), SpongeBob reads out a very long speech. Mrs. Puff must teach the next day's class via closed-circuit TV, from her jail cell.

Trivia/Goofs

At first, Mrs. Puff was holding the hat and belt, but after SpongeBob's speech, he has the hat and belt.
When the police drive up to Patrick, both police fish's eyelids are green. But when they talk to him, the orange police fish's eyelids are orange.
The song in the background when SpongeBob is giving his speech is the Pomp and Circumstance graduation theme.
Fred can be heard saying "My Leg!" twice when the boat collision is shown.
This is the first time Mrs. Puff gets arrested. The second will be No Free Rides.
It is implied that SpongeBob has never been hall monitor. However, when he finishes his speech he says to Mrs. Puff, "I overdid the speech again, didn't I?"
One of the names Mrs. Puff mentions at the beginning of the episode was Clayton, which is the name of Stephen Hillenburg's son.
There is a chapter book to tie in with this episode.
Believe it or not, this is actually the first appearance of Bikini Bottom.
If Beth graduated then she should not have been on Mrs Puff's list of hall monitors.
SpongeBob commits a lot of illegal things in this episode including destruction of property and impersonating a police officer all of which would have stripped him of his hall monitoring duties and arrested for committing said said crimes.
