10/10
Honesty is the best policy!

Warning: Spoilers
This episode didn't make a lot of sense to me in some ways. It seems like the writers waste so much of it with the kids arguing about the virtues of dishonesty and how if you want to get far in the world that it behooves you to cheat! Glen is unfairly punished by an autocratic teacher when a friend asks him for an answer on a test. He is worried that failing the test will keep him from getting into a prestigious tech school. The same "friend" later gets a copy of the make up final and Glen confers with Pete and Kaufman about it (as if a teenager in high school wouldn't know that cheating is wrong!). He does the right thing in the end but doesn't get into that school. At least he was honest about it.
