Trivia
The fact that "Diznee" purchased Fort Springfield is a reference to the abandoned Disney's America project that people criticized as an attempt to turn heritage sites into vanity amusement parks.

Goofs
When the school-bus leaves "Fort Springfield", Uter and five other students can't catch up. But seconds later the five other students have disappeared.

Quotes
Marge: I'm worried about the kids, Homie. Lisa's becoming very obsessive. This morning I caught her trying to dissect her own raincoat.
Homer: I know. And this perpetual-motion machine she made today is a joke. It just keeps going faster and faster.
Marge: And Bart isn't doing very well either. He needs boundaries and structure. There's something about flying a kite at night that's so unwholesome.
[Looks out window]
Bart: [creepily] Hello, mother dear.
Marge: That's it, we have to get them back to school.
Homer: I'm with you, Marge. Lisa, get in here.
[Lisa walks in, smiling vacantly]
Homer: In this house, we obey the laws of THERMODYNAMICS!

The American way

The teachers at Springfield Elementary School strike when Bart stirs up trouble.

This is a strong episode with some good humour and character moments.

It involves another story of Bart taking his bad behaviour to an extreme level and causing humorous chaos in Springfield that sets up a number of characters to be involved in humorous ways, especially Skinner and Krabapple.

My favourite aspect is Lisa's numerous funny reactions to the change in the status quo and the ironic way in how the general situation impacts Bart. Plus, Homer has some excellent one-liners that are delivered exceptionally well.
