Mikey is shown to be a lazy, dishonest, arrogant, bratty & mischievous individual who constantly behaves poorly both in school and at home. He performs poorly in school, constantly receiving failing grades by refusing to either study or do his homework. Because of this, he frequently tries to get out of taking tests, using a variety of different methods, including skipping school, cheating on tests, lying, pretending to be sick, and pulling a fire alarm. However, he enjoys fun and entertainment.
