Young Sheldon Recap for A Little Snip and Teaching Old Dogs
The episode opens with Adult Sheldon talking about biographies and what he would title his own. He knows though, if he wants to write one, he needs to get his papers polished and perhaps even a teaching position in his school. President Hagemeyer talks him down, but he continues to argue that him being associated with East Texas Tech would be a good thing. She reminds him and herself that he has 54 days left.
Later on, she talks to Dr. Sturgis and Dr. Linkletter about the situation. They read his work and realize Sheldon is more brilliant than them, which makes her question her own faculty.
George and Mary babysit CeeCee for Mandy and Georgie. They are going to see Ace Ventura, but Mandy is planning on taking a nap. Mary tells them to go to dinner, but they want to save money.
