"Bart vs. Lisa vs. the Third Grade" is the third episode of the fourteenth season of the American animated television series The Simpsons.
In the episode, the Simpsons buy a satellite television system, which Bart spends so much time watching that he does not study for an important achievement test.
When the Governor sees Lisa's design, she starts to cry and displays the flag which now reads "Learn to Fart".
Worried about the effects of placing Bart and Lisa in the same class, Skinner suggests that they return to the "status quo ante" – both Simpson kids go back to their proper grades.
"Bart vs. Lisa vs. the Third Grade" was written by Tim Long and directed by Steven Dean Moore as part of the fourteenth season of The Simpsons (2002–03).
