[edit] Plot
At SpongeBob's pineapple, Patrick is eagerly asking him if he can go jellyfishing. SpongeBob says he has to go to boating school, and also asks what Patrick usually does when he's gone. Patrick replies with a sad answer: "Waiting for you to get back from school!" SpongeBob then thinks of a really bad/stupid/horrible/terrible idea. Patrick can go with him!
They arrive at 6:20 AM, and although class starts at 9:00 AM, SpongeBob considers it late because it's 'Late for being early!' He shows him around the school, and tells him about their classroom's reward system. It's quite simple, with a golden star attached to a chart next to the person's name who earned the golden star. He also shows him Roger, an unborn animal in a case with only a light-bulb for warmth. The thin shell of the egg represents the barrier between life and death when in a boat. The light-bulb represents knowledge, and without it, death occurs. (After Spongebob's meaningful speech, Patrick flicks the light on and off, chanting "life, death, life, death!"
When class starts, Patrick gets SpongeBob into lots of trouble, which results in one of SpongeBob's golden stars taken off. SpongeBob faints, and Patrick responds by saying "Mrs. Puff, is it nap-time?" Later, SpongeBob and Patrick have to go to detention because they were fighting (not really) during recess. They say how much they hate each other, and SpongeBob says "I'd hate you even if the light-bulb keeping Roger alive went out!" Coincidentally, the light-bulb keeping Roger alive went out. SpongeBob keeps the egg warm, while Patrick gets a new light-bulb. Patrick reaches the closet and finds a mountain of light-bulbs, but he thinks that the one at the top that is operating is the only one that works (Probably because of his low intelligence). SpongeBob is impatient and starts running towards the closet with Roger in his hands, and bumps into Patrick. They both save Roger's life, and they both get a golden star. Patrick later leaves when he finally realizes he's in boating school and he thought he was in Spanish class. At the end, Roger hatches into a chick and says "Hey! What did I miss?"

- Patrick: (repeatedly turning on/off the lamp) Life, death, life, death, life, death...!
- SpongeBob: (after being given a drawing that Patrick drew of Mrs. Puff, beside which is written "Big Fat Meanie") Big fat meanie?! Patrick, you can't do that! She's the teacher!
- Mrs. Puff: What about the teacher? (grabs the drawing from SpongeBob and gasps) As if I really look like this! (it is shown that she, at that moment, DOES look just like the drawing)
- Patrick: Boating School? I thought this was Spanish class! (turning to leave) Bye, SpongeBob. Bye, big fat meanie.

[edit] Trivia/Goofs
- The names on the Bikini Bottom Board keep changing. Sometimes it's like this: SpongeBob, Lloyd, Sheila, Paco, Debbie, Horace and Patrick. Other times there is a Rich between Horace and Patrick.
- SpongeBob says "You cost me one of my good noodle stars!", but the captions say, "You caused me one of my good noodle stars!"
- When Patrick arrives at the boating school, he says, "And no line.", but the captions say, "I have no line."
- Patrick yells, "I'm learning!", but the captions say, "I'm waiting!.
- SpongeBob writes Patrick's name on the Good Noodle Board in capital letters. Later on when SpongeBob and Patrick are saving Roger, Patrick's name is in lower case and when Mrs Puff tells them that she'll give them a star each, it is in capitals again.
- Even though he was underwater, Roger didn't need any thing to breathe when he was out of his shell.
- In the DVD that contains this episode, in the storyboard, after Patrick leaves in the end of the episode, there is a deleted quote that has SpongeBob saying "Can I have his star?"
- In this episode the interior of Mrs. Puff's Boating School is shown as being spacious, highly equipped, and even has a second floor, but the outside of Mrs. Puff's Boating School is shown as being small and somewhat basic.
- SpongeBob said that he had 74 good noodle stars when he actually only had 25.
- If Roger actually were underwater, the water pressure would have crushed his thin shell.
- This episode has a chapter book based on it.
