Billy Madison

Who knows the movie Billy Madison? Probably everyone, am I right? It's a hilarious movie from the 90's featuring Adam Sandler. Without a doubt, it and Big Daddy are my favorite Adam Sandler movies. Both of which have been on T.V. a lot lately. Which is no problem for me. They're both on that list of movies I'll watch whenever on. Anyways, I have a question inspired by it.

Before I ask, though, everyone knows the plot of the movie, right? ...Billy proves he's not an idiot to his father by going back to school, passing each grade, 1st -12th, in two weeks for his father's mega-hotel company. (Yea, it's a dumb plot. Although, no one expects to feel smarter after watching an Adam Sandler movie, so it's cool.) 

My question is, in reality, would an adult man or woman be able to complete school that quick?  I have to believe one could. Well maybe not high school (grades 9-12). Those years are tough. The others, though? Yes. My reasoning... an adult mind is lot larger and more capable at thinking in different ways than a child's. And with today's technology, it's nearly impossible not to pick stuff up along the way. I mean, a child entering Kindergarten today is probably as competent as I was entering the third grade. Mommies and daddies iPads are a big reason why, I think. However, this would bring up an entire new question though, because wouldn't school be a huge waste of time for children? No doubt their time could be better spent in the fields or on the assembly line :p Lol. What do you all think?
And for a Billy Madison side question, who's hotter? Veronica, Billy's third grade teacher and love interest, or his kindergarten classmate's mom, the mucus queen? You  know... the sexy red head whose man is in prison.

Please leave a comment if you agree, disagree or know who's hotter. Later
