Hope you are still poking around waltercartman, I could use your help here. Seems @a bad example is throwing options at the wall again to see if they stick. He's accused me of bias before, so I thought an expert might help me out. Could you identify of the "parents" he has listed, which have kids or preschoolers associated with Springfield Elementary? Example: I know Kent and Hibbert have kids, but do they attend SE?

Forum friends, if Walter doesn't show your help is welcome too.

Both kent and hibberts kids go to private schools. Let me look over his post and I will go over the rest and tell you where they all go.

Oh and whoever is saying you are bias is just stupid. You have always been fair and balanced with your contest. People just need to grow up and accept they lost.

[waltercartman]

With the people we have in the game these below are students there.
Bart
Lisa
Ralph
Dolph
Nelson
Shauna
Milhouse
Martin

In other words all the kids lmao. Squeaky voice teen does not.

Parents who have kids there
Homer and marge
Wiggum
Ned Flanders
Fat tony

This is all off the top of my head. Apu has kids but not there. Everyone else has kids at private schools. Even rev love joy. He has a daughter but she was moved to a different school.

Guru out

[rsommons]

Thanks for the help waltercartman. Hope you stick around.

No need to call anyone stupid. I'm happy to have contestants question the rules, keeps me on my toes, and makes me double my efforts to be fair.

[Ankarstroom]

I can't really say I've seen all of the latest episodes/seasons but according to Simpsons wiki, Mary Spuckler is a student at Springfield elementary. They also have a list of all the students: Springfield Elementary School students

You know, I have been debating how to respond to your total lack of a sense of humor, and rampant case of head up the ass.

Since I have no real desire to annoy Admin or the others, I'll just block you.

Develop a sense of humor or enjoy that upcoming peptic ulcer. rsommons has a sense of humor. He was just wondering if I was pulling his leg or tearing it off.

And for my attempt to pass a clue, PTA is a volunteer organization. Any of the adults could be members, and in a real small town probably would be. Whether their kids attended public or private school. Or had no kids at all.

Lmao have to love the quality of people here.

Rs asked me to help and I did. I also stood up for him. If being called stupid is really hurting you I am sorry. I to be fair I never said you were stupid just people calling rs bias. Then again I don't really care anyways so thank you for blocking me from a place I barely look at

[rsommons]

Alrighty, A Bad Example, and waltercartman thank you both for your thoughts on the matter. And definitely a good try on the community side of the PTA. But for point value it's going to ride as 25 for overall theme, the characters (aside from those directly related: kids in school, in school, or working in school) will be scored as listed above.

Scores coming soon...
