Plot

Raven gets in trouble after she mouths off to a spiteful teacher, and the teacher demands a parent-teacher conference. After school, Raven's parents reward her with a new cell phone because of her responsibility. Raven feels guilty, but does not tell her parents about what happened at school. Instead, she ends up dressing up in Tanya's purple outfit and goes to the conference, which creates all sorts of chaos. Meanwhile, Eddie is being bullied by a jock who takes over his locker.

Trivia

While its NOT polite to tell off a teacher, Raven actually did the right thing by telling off Petrachelli. (He was clearly picking on the students and not giving the ones paying attention a fair chance to answer. Raven herself noted that when her hand was up to answer, she was ignored; when she gave up and stopped paying attention, she was called on.)
