Todd (Wayside)

Todd is a character in the Wayside School books. He is one of the many students in Mrs. Jewls's class. While well-behaved, Todd was the first student to speak out loud in Mrs. Jewls's class without raising his hand. As a result, Mrs. Jewls keeps a close eye on him, leading to him regularly getting his name written on the discipline list and having him sent home early on the kindergarten bus. He is voiced by Michael Cera in the movie, and Mark Rendall in the cartoon.

Why He Rocks

 * 1) He remains still be a likable protagonist in the movie and the cartoon.
 * 2) He also helps his friends (including Maurecia, Dana, Myron, and the rest of his class) in difficult situations.
 * 3) Todd has great personality traits (being helpful, kind, interested, very forward-thinking, and logical person). In the two episodes of the second season of Wayside titled, "Wayside Christmas" and "Sideways Protest" he seems to respond to the strange behaviors of his classmates with a sarcastic attitude.
 * 4) He often acts like a role-model in Wayside School, by making changes to the school as seen in the 2005 movie (Wayside: The Movie), and the season 1 episode titled "Principles of Principals".
 * 5) He even has common sense.
 * 6) He can sometimes also be a heroic person as seen in movie (when he manages to get the box for the kindergarten kids in his previous school), and in the 10th segment of the first season "Kindergarten King" (when he get the girls stuff toy "Mr. Wet-Nose").
 * 7) He has a new pet fish named "King Arthur" in the episode "Meet the Pets".

Bad Qualities

 * 1) He often gets sent to the kindergarten bus when Mrs. Jewels wrongfully punishes him, due to the technicalities and minor infractions (like answering a question on don't answer a teacher's question day), or by the way the school or class is.
 * 2) Just like everyone else, his design is mediocre to the point where he looks like rejects from Fairly OddParents and Dexter's Laboratory.
