Tutoring in the Popular Imagination: Daria as Case Study

She and the other girls in the fashion club compare scores, and Quinn is disappointed. She thought she'd get a higher score than the other girls, and she wants to get into Pepperhill, a well-known party school. She decides to get a tutor, David, a nerdy college guy. The guys, of course, think that's oh so cool, so the other girls get David to tutor them too.
