Jake should be a wonderful addition to the program.

There are a lot of things you can say but Jake Romans is hardly dumb. Not every successful person got a law degree from Yale and took over the family business. Some actually hustle and learn to make something of themselves. I would say that Jake has a Secretariat like head start over the other 6th graders of his age. Of course I have actually known him almost his whole life and dont judge him based on a few snippets of a movie.
