Synopsis by Hal Erickson
With Mrs. Simms having retired, Alice Garvey (Hersha Parady) has taken over as Walnut Grove's schoolteacher -- a task made difficult by the fact that Alice's son, Andy (Patrick Laborteaux), is a classic underachiever. Hoping to improve Andy's grades, Alice hires her best pupil, Nellie Oleson (Alison Arngrim), to tutor the boy. Things take an unexpected turn when Nellie reveals that she has been cheating in the classroom all along -- and offers to teach Andy her "foolproof" technique if he'll keep his mouth shut.
