Springfield's schools cannot afford to use it as much either, and they decide to test every single student, and whichever school has the lowest test scores will close.

Meanwhile, [[Homer]] uses a parking meter he found at [[Springfield City Dump|the dump]] to fleece unwitting parkers of their quarters.}}
