I've deleted the whole spoiler, and the spoiler space, since the gist
of the question was "Where have I heard the name Billy Madison
before?"
This was the title of an Adam Sandler movie a few years back, a comedy
about a young slacker, named Billy Madison, who is in line to inherit
control of a wealthy family-owned corporation. His father feels
however that Billy is not fit to run the company. Billy argues that
he's a college graduate, which his Father counters by pointing out
that if Billy hadn't been a rich man's son, he never would have
graduated from Grade School, let alone college. (Seems the father was
using his money and influence to have Billy promted from grade to
grade)
Billy and his Father agree to a wager, that if he goes through grades
K-12 again, and can pass them on his own, then his Father will let him
inherit the family buisness.
However, I would be surprised if the movie had anything at all to do
with the novels. (After all, the movies Terminator 2 and Rising Sun
have little or anything to do with each other, yet both feature
leading characters who are named John Connor, and live in L.A.)
