Very Funny Episode

*** This review may contain spoilers ***

This has to be one of my favorite episodes; It is cute, well-acted, and the script is very good.

In this episode, Josh (Josh Peck) becomes part of a program which lets high school students teach a class of younger students. Ironically, Josh is assigned to teach the class of his younger sister, Megan (Miranda Cosgrove). Including these students are Katie (Tara Lynne Barr), a sassy eleven-year-old, and Neil (Ridge Canipe), an eleven-year-old who can play the drums like a maniac. Drake (Drake Bell), looking for a drummer to play in his band, discover Neil's talents and immediately pleads him to be in the band. Like most eleven-year-old children would, Neil accepts to invitation with a grin upon his face. Josh starts teaching the children college material, which leads to an unhappy class, which then produces an angry Megan. The class becomes angry at Megan because her brother game them a pop quiz in which they all failed. Then, Neil sadly admits to Drake that he is unable to play in his band because he failed the quiz. Therefore, Megan and Drake become extremely angered toward Josh. In order to get their payback, Megan breaks into the classroom. The rest, however, I certainly won't spoil.

This episode is very funny; I would give it a ten if it weren't for the fact the cruelty Megan and Drake have toward Josh. It seems to get a bit overboard; They are a tad bit too mean. Overall, though, most Drake and Josh fans should enjoy this episode.
