“Back to school, back to school, to prove to Dad that I’m not a fool. I got my lunch packed up, my boots tied tight, I hope I don’t get in a fight. Ohhhh, back to school. Back to school. Back to school. Well, here goes nothing.” Famous words Adam Sandler spoke in Billy Madison. For Billy, school was tough even as an adult. Imagine being an actual kid.
