==The Story==
<!-- Under each act heading, give a brief summary of the major events of that act. The acts begin and end at points where there would be an ad break if this were an episode, probably at the middle of the comic. If lucky, this will also be the split for the UK version.
If you know how, make links of the first reference to any other characters, places, or things that have/should have their own articles.

===Act I===
After [[Cubert Farnsworth|Cubert]]’s marks drop from A+ to A, [[Professor Hubert J. Farnsworth|Professor Farnsworth]] decides to send him to boarding school and [[Philip J. Fry|Fry]], [[Bender Bending Rodriguez|Bender]] and [[Turanga Leela|Leela]] are sent to look for schools for him. The only decent school on the list is on the planet Curriculax and when they get there Cubert tricks the crew into signing admission forms so they are also stuck in school. The crew reveal that they hated school; Fry had a gym teacher who made his life hell, all of the kids had nothing to do with Leela and Bender had a learning disability.  In class Bender quickly calculates his math to make the class respect him but instead it angers them and they chase him around the school, Leela becomes popular because she has a spaceship, and the students trick Fry into breaking the rules causing him to do hard laps and have to shower in liquid nitrogen.
 
===Act II===
Fry wants to escape but Leela is happy and Bender is trying to be respected. Leela and her new friends slingshot around the sun to go back in time and not be late for class, but this triggers a supernova and the planet is about to burn. The heat kills Fry’s gym teacher, which gives him and Bender the chance to escape while Leela is in detention, but Fry refuses to go without the rest of the school. The principal won’t let them leave the school so Fry purposely gets the crew and Cubert expelled. Cubert has an idea to attach the school and the ship to bike chains and drop the school off on another planet. Everything goes fine until the crew return to find [[Earth]] has been deserted…
