A digital system monitors pupils, assigns discipline marks and affects scores; Max struggles with its treatment of her.
Max is asked to help Fuzzy, a robot classmate, learn how to manage school life, though helping him brings her trouble.
Fuzzy is a robot learning school rules, and the story raises questions about how machines and people think and how learning is assessed.
Max faces repeated trouble at school, including the risk of expulsion, while computerised monitoring and discipline shape the conflict.
This is a grounded book brief while Suitabook strengthens the analysis: some draft conclusions still depend on unresolved evidence.
