Bart envisions a future where he never passes the fourth grade, and he and his son Bart Simpson, Jr. are in the same class. Mrs. Krabappel once again calls on Bart Sr. to name the pirate in Treasure Island, and he still can't come up with the name. However, Bart Jr. interrupts and without hesitation correctly answers, "Long John Silver". Mrs. Krabappel catches Bart Jr. giving his father the answer gives both of them a detention.
Trivia
