Skipping Lessons

Angela is delighted when all of Mrs. Brinks letters of commendation to the School Board about Nanette culminate in the School Board advancing Nanette to the Fourth Grade! Mrs. Brinks is devastated by the loss of her prize pupil and in her vulnerable state she transfers all of her previous affections for Nanette onto none other than Angela. At first Angela is in her glee after all teachers pets get away with everything! Soon however Brinks' attention becomes overwhelming and she begins following Angela everywhere - even to the treehouse. Thankfully Nanette is not doing so well in the Fourth Grade popularity polls and decides to return to Mrs. Brinks' Third Grade class. At first Angela is disappointed but then she realizes that although she is gaining a Ninnie-Poo she is also losing the clingy Mrs. Brinks.
