New Teacher

"New Teacher" is the second segment of the 29th episode of Hey Arnold!
==Synopsis==
Miss Slovak has retired from teaching, because she wants to become a professional golfer, and Mr. Simmons becomes the new fourth grade teacher. Mr. Simmons is very sensitive and has a "be your own unique self" teaching method, which bores the students. He also encourages the students to always ask "Why?" Eventually the students rebel against Mr. Simmons, and eventually break him and he quits. However, their next teacher, Mr. Goose, or Lieutenant Major Goose, is a strict disciplinarian who teaches with a strict military "One unit" method. The students now realize how good they had it with Mr. Simmons, and they try to apologize to him, but Mr. Simmons is not convinced. However, after they prove that they've learned what he's tried to teach them, he reconsiders. The students then gang up on Goose, bombarding him with the "Why?" questions that Mr. Simmons encouraged, and eventually he is overwhelmed and quits. But the students are delighted when Mr. Simmons returns to teach fourth grade again.

==Notes==
* Although this episode is meant to be Mr. Simmons' first appearance (and was even aired first), "Phoebe Cheats", a later episode he appears in, was confusingly placed before this episode in the show's rerun rotation on The '90s Are All That.
