Yeah! A good one, too.

My family has kind of an off kilter sense of humor, so this was a staple as a kid, alongside other classics like the stinky cheese man or the runaway beard.

I was pumped when I found out it was going to be a movie. Disappointed when I found out the movie had almost nothing to do with the book. And then pumped again when I realized the movie is awesome in its own right.

It's a term referring to K-12 in the US, I think including preschool. This corresponds to school for ages ~6-18.
