[Watching the first 15min of "Jack" on HBO today, before the start of the Lions game...]

Had you ever noticed that in every movie or TV show, where a character finds him/herself to be a new student in a school - said student ALWAYS has the added awkwardness of arriving, what appears to be, mid-lesson? The interruption at the teacher's door, the "presentation" before the students, the looooooooooong walk to an available seat....

I would hope in real life, parents would do their best to get the poor chap into his first class before the 1st bell.
