19. Tutoring Reese

Malcolm tutors Reese so he won't be sent to the remedial class by his teacher Mr. Woodward ( Dave Allen ), but keeps failing. Out of desperation, Malcolm takes Reese's test for him. He still fails, and Malcolm discovers Woodward has been deliberately failing Reese regardless of accuracy. Meanwhile, Francis gets kicked out of the house for not re-shingling the roof and lives with Richie, but finds the conditions even worse. When Mr. Woodward comes over to give Lois and Hal the paperwork for remedial class, Malcolm exposes him, but accidentally reveals that he cheated in the first place. In the end, Francis caves to his mother's demands and returns home, and he, the boys, and Woodward are all forced to re-shingle the roof together.
