Grading the system

"Junior the Senior" finds the Evans children awaiting report card day, their parents anxious to see them advance to next term. As expected, Thelma and Michael are the acknowledged geniuses, while JJ remains a question mark, unquestionably an 'A' student in art but not much else. His long face has everyone convinced that the 11th grade will continue for another year, only to show a solid 'C' average. Delving deeper however, JJ's answers to his parents' questions only reveal an 'F' mentality. Principal Kirkman (Frank Campanella) explains how the system works, that in passing a certain percentage of students to meet their quota, they earn their percentage of the financial pie. Apparently, things haven't changed much in the 40-plus years since this episode.
