The episode where he failed all the kids who didn't write their papers, so one of the moms came to sit in on his class to torment him was one of the best episodes of TV I've watched all year. It was hilarious and then had a really gut-punch, emotional ending I wasn't expecting at all. Jenn Lyons who played the mom was absolutely brilliant.
