Go Ahead! Kick Me Out of School!

Sixth-grader Jeremy Pryor isn't about to stay in school. He's fed up with classmates calling him dumb, stupid, retard. With a new set of foster parents, Jeremy plans on being home schooled. Little does he know.

Mr. and Mrs. Daniels aren't exactly ordinary parents. And their other foster child Kent, a seventeen-year-old who cracks his knuckles every three seconds, gives Jeremy a hard time. To say the least.

Jeremy is ready to move on to another set of foster parents. Except for one thing. He likes the Daniels. They're interesting to Jeremy. His foster mother is a newspaper correspondent and his foster father sells tombstones. More important, both show their love for Jeremy. A victim of child abuse, Jeremy, however, wonders if the Daniels are up to something. And, if they are, what could it be?

At first Kent and his friends-J.D. and Matt-tease Jeremy nonstop and, since they are bigger, Jeremy can't fight back. That's why when they ask Jeremy to do them a favor, he does. Then Kent and his friends treat Jeremy well. Now Jeremy wonders if the white box Kent and his friends asked him to deliver to a guy contained drugs.

On top of that, Jeremy still hasn't learned his multiplication tables. How could he when his former foster mother kept locking him in a dark closet? The Daniels arrange for Kent to help Jeremy with math. The process teaches Jeremy that even though Kent appears tough on the outside he is not a bad guy deep inside. To Jeremy's surprise, he learns to really like Kent and doesn't want anything bad to happen to his foster brother.

So Jeremy takes a courageous stand by confessing to Wilma and Ben about Kent and his friends. Wilma and Ben inform the police. After the police investigate, Jeremy knows Kent and his friends are involved with drugs. Jeremy suggests to Wilma and Ben that they take Kent to a talk-show that is giving a presentation section on gangs and drugs.

The Daniels agree it's a great idea. Naturally, Kent doesn't want to go, but it's either that or a juvenile detention center. As a result of the show, Kent goes to boot camp, even though he doesn't want to.

Meanwhile, Jeremy has sharp stomach pains. The doctor discovers Jeremy needs to have his appendix removed. Several days later and after surgery, Jeremy heads for home. Wilma and Ben tell him that they have a big surprise for him. For the life of him, Jeremy can't figure out what the surprise could be.

Then, when Jeremy sees Kent at home, Jeremy realizes Kent changed. Thanks to the three-day boot camp. As for the Daniels, they're up to something all right. Jeremy discovers that something is what he always wanted, a real family. The Daniels adopt Kent and Jeremy.
