Mrs. Puff's Boating School is a fictional drivers' education school on the Nickelodeon television animated series, SpongeBob SquarePants. The "boating school" as it is called, is located in Bikini Bottom and in which Mrs. Puff teaches at.
[edit] General
Mrs. Puff's Boating School features the Hallway of Learning which includes the Fountain of Learning, the stairs, and the Stairs of Learning. The actual classroom includes the chalkboard, Good Noodle Board, Roger's Glass Box, teacher's desk, ten student desks, and the supply closet. The classes start at 9:00 a.m.
The boating school has a chart, which lists awards for the students. It is called the Good Noodle Board. Students obtain Good Noodle stars for certain things, such as attendance, penmanship, basic desk sanitation, and advanced Desk Sanitation. Two class room disruptions loses one star.
The school also has a set of rules. This includes no fighting (results in Detention), no butt kicking, no cheating, must pay attention, and no insulting drawings of the teacher.
Students that attend include: SpongeBob SquarePants; Patrick Star (Only for a short time),Lloyd, Sheila, Paco, Debbie, and Horace as seen in New Student Starfish; Flats the Flounder as seen in The Bully; Jimmy, Phil, Tina, Henry, Vera, and Clayton all as seen in Hall Monitor.
As a school-statistic, every student that has attended has never failed the class, except for SpongeBob SquarePants. He has failed a large amount of times, which resulted in Mrs. Puff getting fired. In "Boating School," SpongeBob failed his test only 39 times by the end of the episode. Later, in "Mrs. Puff, You're Fired", SpongeBob failed his boating test 1,258,058 times by this episode. This infers that he has taken his test more rapidly than in his first years of boating school. In "Driven to Tears," SpongeBob says he has failed his drivers' test 65 times. Mrs. Puff say that his record in "Mrs. Puff, You're Fired" was destroyed in the accident, which is like he never failed. This can conclude that SpongeBob falied his test 1,258,123 times altogether.
In the book, "Class Confusion," a substitute temporarily takes over for Mrs. Puff. SpongeBob and a fellow classmate, Horace, switch places. Horace itnitially passes SpongeBob through school, enabling him to drive, which flabergasts Mrs. Puff. In the end, the truth is revealed, and everything returns to normal.
[edit] Exams
There are two exams that must be completed correctly, and with an excellent grade in order to graduate and obtain a license.
- Oral Exam: The Oral Exam consists of ten questions, many of them simple, such as asking the name of the front of the boat. SpongeBob has taken the Oral Exam so many times that he has memorized the answers, and can say them (and pass the exam) without Mrs. Puff even asking the questions. The answers, and the questions that Mrs. Puff had time to ask before SpongeBob started saying the answers, are listed below.
