Punky Power: An Unofficial Punky Brewster Podcast

Hey Everyone, Angela Bowen here, the host of Diff'rent Strokes To Move The World: An Unofficial Diff'rent Strokes Podcast. Today, I covered S1E14: The Tutor, which aired on February 9, 1979. In this episode Willis is doing poorly in school, so Mr. Drummond hires a tutor. However, he is not pleased by his unconventional methods of teaching. I remember when I first watched this episode back in 2019. I myself was unsure of Danny the boys' tutor at first with his teaching methods and was originally siding with Mr. Drummond who thought Danny wasn't being effective with his tutoring sessions, but turns out that that is just Danny's way of teaching and also how Danny makes the discovery or Willi's learning or memory break when he can't recall anything from 1975.
