The episode "We're Not Gonna Take It" from season 1 of School of Rock follows the story of Dewey Finn and his class of fifth graders as they prepare for their first live performance. Mr. Finn, a former rockstar turned substitute teacher, has been teaching the kids about the history of rock and roll and encouraging them to form their own band. When a talent competition is announced at their school, Mr. Finn sees it as the perfect opportunity for his students to showcase their talents and live out their dreams of becoming rockstars.

However, things don't go quite according to plan when one of the students, Zack, is given a violin to play instead of his electric guitar. Zack is devastated and feels like he can't contribute to the band in the same way as the other members. Meanwhile, the rest of the class is struggling to come up with an original song for the competition. They try brainstorming together, but quickly become frustrated with each other's ideas.

As the deadline for the competition approaches, tensions rise and Mr. Finn realizes he needs to take action. He encourages each student to contribute their own unique talents to the band, and helps them to come together to write an original song. With their new song in hand, the class begins to perform it at the talent competition, but stop mid-song when they realize that it's not what they truly want to perform. They make a spur of the moment decision to play a song they all love, "We're Not Gonna Take It" by Twisted Sister, and the crowd goes wild.

The episode ends with the class bonding over their love of rock and roll, and Mr. Finn realizing that sometimes the best performances come from unexpected places. From overcoming self-doubt to learning how to work as a team, "We're Not Gonna Take It" is a heartwarming and inspiring episode about the power of music and the importance of following your dreams.
