synopsis
The board of education insists that Tabitha can no longer be home taught; thus, the girl is enrolled in Miss Vogel's second grade class. Annoyed by class bully Charlton Rollnick (Michael Hughes), Tabitha transforms the troublesome youngster into a frog, then "adopts" him as a pet. Maudie Prickett, who played Tabitha's harried nursery-school teacher in the fourth-season Bewitched episode "I Don't Want to Be a Toad," is here seen as Miss Vogel. Others in the cast are Nita Talbot as Charlton's mother and Allen Jenkins as the janitor. First telecast February 12, 1972, "Tabitha's First Day at School" was written by Ed Jurist.
