The guy in the bathroom

Yup!

"The computer says I failed that test. The computer made an error. I reccomend this time, I PASS."

then Shoop says, "You're going to do well Jerome, I can feel it."

Yeah it was refreshing...back when movies could still surprise us, unlike today's predictable formulaic crap.

I loved that the Bathroom Guy turned out to be telling the truth about the computer error, when we all thought he was just trying to use his size to intimidate the teacher into getting a good grade without earning it.

Speaking of refreshing surprises...I really liked that the writer didn't fall back on easy lazy stereotypes. The black characters weren't over-the-top goofy comedy relief. The pregnant girl was a nice, normal girl who just happens to be pregnant (and makes a smart, mature decision about it), instead of being portrayed as a dumb slut who must be punished. (Yeah I know you could say the same for Juno but that movie is so self-consciously wannabe-clever with it's unrealistic irritating dialogue. I prefer the unpretentious Summer School.)

Even though one girl kinda throws herself at the teacher, she doesn't come across as an over-the-top sexpot. The foreign exchange student just doesn't understand some things about American culture at first - but she isn't an *airhead*. I guess these are subtle distinctions in the acting/writing, but considering all the broad humour and caricatures instead of real characters found in today's unfunny comedies... I appreciated Summer's School's relatively low-key humour and more realistic approach.
