They try to think of things to do to make middle school easier because, as CJ's brother told her, high school will be harder and friendships will fall due to all of the pressures.
This show began as a TV movie in 2014, which then was turned into a sitcom with pretty much the same cast, though with the principal, who was the main antagonist in the movie, she is pretty much absent.
The show was made by the same creators as Ned's Declassified School Survival Guide, and thus is somewhat similar in theme as well as not having a studio audience.

* ThisIsNotADrill: Combined with CryingWolf in the spisode "Find Your Super Power Thing!". The principal is trying to beat the record for fastest fire drill and won't accept not beating the record. Therefore, she held multiple fire drills each day for a couple of days, infuriating the teachers and annoying the students.
