      Janey: Well, that was a waste of time.

      Lisa: Janey, school is never a waste of time.

    Vocational Aptitude
    Both Bart and Lisa take the same test on possibilities in their vocational lives. Bart manages to use his devious nature to disrupt things. Lisa wants to be a blues saxophonist and is told by a teacher her fingers are too short. This destroys her ambitions. Bart has a case of conscience.
