==Plot== | ==Plot== | ||
At Mrs. Puff's Boating School, Mr. Fitz (Boating School Superintendent) is talking to Mrs. Puff on her high record of flunking students, in which SpongeBob is the only one, who has flunked 1,258,056 times. Mrs. Puff needs to show Mr. Fitz everything she taught SpongeBob. A few seconds later, SpongeBob has flunked another driving test. Mr. Fitz despite Mrs. Puff's evidence for SB being unteachable, blames his failures on her, fires Mrs. Puff, and a new boating instructor who has retired from the army named Sergent Roderick (most likely a shark) comes in and takes over the school. He has various strict rules in his class, one student is thrown out for talking and another is thrown out for eating. The other students become afraid and run away, except for SpongeBob, who is his only student. | At Mrs. Puff's Boating School, Mr. Fitz (Boating School Superintendent) is talking to Mrs. Puff on her high record of flunking students, in which SpongeBob is the only one, who has flunked 1,258,056 times.

Test 4 Knowing the boat: Sergeant Roderick orders SB to take apart a boat. SpongeBob succeeds but is ordered to put it back together again which makes SB confused on the reverse part of the method.

Roderick says "Why don't you ask the shattered remains of this pedestrian...HOW YOU DID?!" |
Test 6 Blindfolding: SB learns his course perfectly but Roderick tells him to perform every test taken previously but blindfolded. After months SB finally memorizes his way around the track blindfolded and is told to get on the boat. | Test 6 Blindfolding: SB learns his course perfectly but Roderick tells him to perform every test taken previously but blindfolded.

*When Sergeant Roderick comes in and talks about his second rule (no eating in class), then he offers bon-bons to one of the students, and after one of the students eats one, he literally throws the student through a wall. This scene is remarkably like the scene in the movie, Matilda, where the "Trunchbull" offers a piece of cake to a young boy, and punishes him for it. | *When Sergeant Roderick comes in and talks about his second rule (no eating in class), then he offers bon-bons to one of the students, and after one of the students eats one, he literally throws the student through a wall.
