TED: Once Upon A School

please add to the description "their own tutoring centers."

I too fail at the English language. And syntax.
Favorite quote: "You can see the time of all 5 burrows in the back."

This dude could not fucking say "And, uh", "Uhhh" one more time. Damn, man. Sing along with the radio or something and get used to having a voice before you hold a conference.
