Plot
Arthur gets Mr. Ratburn for his teacher, and is given tons of homework. Prunella says that Mr. Ratburn is a strict teacher because she had him last year. The principal tells everybody that their school Spelling Bee is coming up. Prunella thinks she'll win again and she brags about it. At home Arthur makes his map of Africa, but D.W says she never gets homework, and that next year she won't get any. Mr. Ratburn holds a spelling test, and Arthur and "The Brain" gets all answers right. At the Spelling Bee, Prunella still thinks she'll win. The Brain spells the word "Fear" "F-e-r-e", and fails the Spelling Bee. Everybody doesn't get it right. Prunella spells "Preparation" "P-r-e-p-e-r-a-t-i-o-n" and fails to win. Arthur spells "Preparation" right and wins. At the end, Mr. Ratburn announces that for the upcoming school year, he will be teaching Kindergarten; D.W is upset that she is going to get homework.Computer game
