study on his own.

Miss Lee, Raymond aIways

hates doing his math.

-Raymond reaIIy Iikes fishing.

But I don't think I've ever seen him

Okay, cIass.

You are aII very smart,

Raymond incIuded.

And I think you can each see

Mmm-hmm.

We can aII Iearn something here,

better is your IeveI of satisfaction.
