He may have “scrambled” to get the job done…maybe he thought outside the box and it worked most of the time.

Thomas is both strong and convincing but also weak in many aspects. David first puts forward the idea that while Utah may not be at optimal levels regarding our public school system, other states are doing a lot worse, in this case, Florida.
