PlotEdit

SpongeBob is heading to school 1 morning, and Patrick eagerly asks him if he can go jellyfishing. SpongeBob says he has to go to school, and asks what Patrick usually does when he's gone. Patrick says that he " will wait for you to get back" and SpongeBob feels sorry for Patrick, SpongeBob tells Patrick that he can come to school with him.

They arrive at 6:20 AM, and class starts at 9:00 AM, which SpongeBob considers "Late for being early" He shows Patrick around the school, and explains their classroom's "Good Noodle board" system, where "good noodle stars" are placed on a good noodle board next to the chalkboard. SpongeBob has by far the most stars of anyone in the class , (74) and adds Patrick's name to the chart so he can start collecting stars. He also shows Roger, an unborn animal egg in a case with only a light-bulb for warmth.

When class starts, Mrs. Puff sees the new student and asks him his name, Patrick gets nervous and replies with "24", and the whole class laughs at. At their desks, SpongeBob and Patrick laugh among each other about the what comes after number "24, Spongebob said "25", and Mrs. Puff warns them to pay attention. Later, Patrick draws an ugly picture of Mrs. Puff, which she believes was made by SpongeBob. "BIG FAT MEANIE!" Mrs. Puff has a small plastic spatula and removes 1 of his stars from his good noodles. much to his horror, and tells him to move to the available desk in the back of the room. Soon after, Patrick tries to tell SpongeBob something, and SpongeBob, very angry at him, tries to ignore him. Patrick begins throwing spitballs at SpongeBob to get his attention, and says that he has "something important" to tell him. SpongeBob finally asks him what he has to say, and Patrick simply says "Hi." SpongeBob is furious, and screams out HIIIIIIIIII!" in frustration, causing the spitballs on him to fly all the way to Mrs. Puff, who says "Perhaps, we'll talk before recess."

During recess, SpongeBob confronts Patrick in the hallway, and they start fighting, which they are given detention. During detention, the two say how much they hate each other, and SpongeBob says "I'd hate you even if the lightbulb keeping Roger alive went out!" Suddenly, the lightbulb goes out, and Roger starts to freeze. SpongeBob and Patrick start to apologize, and then work together to save Roger. SpongeBob keeps the egg warm, while Patrick gets a new lightbulb. Patrick reaches the closet and finds a mountain of light-bulbs, but he thinks that the lightbulb at the top that is operating is the only one that works and starts climbing the mountain to reach it. SpongeBob is impatient and starts running towards the closet with Roger in his hands, and bumps into Patrick, causing the egg and lightbulb to fly into the air. Patrick catches the lightbulb, and SpongeBob catches Roger. Suddenly, Mrs. Puff appears, who had been watching the whole incident through her one way chalkboard. She decides to give them each 1 golden star. Before Patrick then leaves, upon realizing that this was boating school and not "normal class." After Patrick leaves, Roger suddenly hatches, revealing to be a live action chick who says, "Hey! What did I miss?" as the episode ends.

TriviaEdit

This is the first (and so far, only) episode to focused on the boating school, but Patrick is the main character, in contrast with SpongeBob or Mrs. Puff usually being the main character.
This episode shows that Gary has the ability of Teleportation, as he was able to present in some different places when SpongeBob was still in the air in his morning routine. Similiar thing is also happened in Suds, when Gary suddenly pops out of nowhere in the Krusty Krab, telling Mr. Krabs that SpongeBob has suds. It was also clearly seen in Gary Takes a Bath, when SpongeBob puts Gary above the tub, and then he disappears and instantly shows up beside SpongeBob.
When Patrick pictures Mrs. Puff's class like class photo day, the black sign in front of the kids in the front says "Mrs. Puff's Driving School" but Mrs. Puff's school sign says "Mrs. Puff's Boating School."
The names on the good noodle board change throughout the episode.
When Mrs. Puff opens the drawers in her desk to put the paper that Patrick drew of her, many different papers making fun of Mrs. Puff can be seen inside that drawer.
When Patrick arrives at the boating school, he says, "And no line." Captions say, "I have no line."
When Patrick yells, "I'm learning!", captions say, "I'm waiting!"
First title card to be on the chalkboard. The second will be in Professor Squidward. The third is Squidward's School for Grown-Ups
SpongeBob writes Patrick's name on the good noodle board in capital letters. Later on when SpongeBob and Patrick are saving Roger, Patrick's name is in lower case and when Mrs. Puff tells them that she'll give them a golden star each, it is in capitals again.
In the original storyboard featured on the DVD, after Patrick leaves in the end of the episode, SpongeBob says "Can I have his star?"
In this episode the interior of Mrs. Puff's Boating School is shown as being spacious, featuring multiple rooms and even a second floor, while in other episodes it consists of only 1 room.
A chapter book based on this episode was adapted.
When SpongeBob was saying the item that would help Roger, the "a" in "Patrick" on the good noodle board is replaced by an "o," spelling Not Patrick "Potrick".
First time Patrick goes to the Boating School.
This is one of the times when SpongeBob has problems at boating school. Here are all the problems: In No Free Rides, when Mrs. Puff asked him to write a 10-word sentence for extra credit, he completely froze. And in The Bully, when Flatts the Flounder decided to bully another student, he picked SpongeBob. And in this case, in New Student Starfish, when Patrick visited, he cost SpongeBob 1 of his good noodle stars.
Later on, in Season 4, Patrick will have successfully obtained his license in Driven to Tears.
The chick being named "Roger" might be a nod to Rodger Bumpass, who provides the voice of Squidward, though his name is spelled with a "d."
Mrs. Puff notices when SpongeBob acts up, but doesn't notice when Patrick does the same. She doesn't even notice when he fires multiple spitballs at SpongeBob.
When Roger says"Hey what I miss?" his mouth doe's not sync up to what he was saying.
When Patrick stood up to tell his name, the name Rich was added on the good noodle board.
