== Trivia ==
 
 
 
The movie that Bart and Mrs. Krabappel watch together is a parody of the 1986 film Back to School, starring Rodney Dangerfield. It apparently stars [[Larry Burns]], who was voiced by Dangerfield in the&nbsp;eighth season episode [[Burns, Baby Burns]].
 
 
 
The blackboard in the background during the Parent/Teacher Night scene between Zachary Vaughn and Homer reads "zackattack.com". This website does not exist, although it could be a parody of screwattack.com.
 
 
 
The "Z" in the episode's title refers to Zachary Vaughn. It is not a typo or reference to the second season episode [[Bart Gets an F]].
 
 
 
This is one of the few times the end credits differ from the normal ones. In this case the credit s are in fancy writing.
