In the episode "Ms. Wakefield" of King of the Hill season 9, the focus is on Peggy Hill's passion for teaching. Peggy takes on a new student, a boy named Bobby who has been struggling in school. She is determined to help him succeed and believes that his teacher, Ms. Wakefield, is not doing enough to help him.
Peggy decides to take matters into her own hands and begins teaching Bobby in her spare time. However, she quickly realizes that she may not be as effective as she thought. Her teaching methods are outdated and she struggles to connect with Bobby's interests.
Meanwhile, Hank and the guys are busy with their own project: building a smoker for their barbecue competitions. As they work on the smoker, they also offer advice to Peggy on how to better engage with Bobby. They suggest she try incorporating his interests into her lesson plans, such as using football to teach math.
As Peggy takes their advice and tries new methods, she is surprised to find that she is actually having fun teaching Bobby. However, her desire to help him succeed becomes a bit overbearing and she begins to step on Ms. Wakefield's toes.
