1. On the first page, A.J. says, “I hate school,” but he ends up liking a lot of things that happen there. How do you think A.J. really feels about school? Why do you think he feels this way? How are your feelings about school similar to or different from his?

2. A.J. says that kids can learn everything important from TV (p. 2). Do you agree or disagree?

3. Study Jim Paillot’s illustrations on pages 8–9 and 18–19. How do these illustrations help tell the story?

4. At recess one day, Ryan has the genius idea to buy Ella Mentry School (p. 35). Who do you think owns Ella Mentry School? Who owns your school? How do the owners decide who runs the school?

5. Why does A.J. think football players are “really dumb” (p. 49)? Why does Boomer Wiggins respond the way that he does when Miss Daisy asks if football players are dumb? Why might people assume that athletes aren’t smart? What do you think of these assumptions?

6. Why is Miss Daisy so wacky? What wacky things do your teachers do? How does their wackiness help you learn?
