Parker Engels, a fourth grader, is the kind of kid that teachers love and the students despise because Parker always listens, does his homework and never gives the teacher any trouble. In "Fourth Grader Parker Engels: Poetic Justice" the kids in Parker's class are very unkind to him until one day when Parker politely dishes out poetic justice and things take a turn for the better.
