Everybody Loves Raymond

Debra and Ray are astonished when Ally comes home with an "F" in math on her report card. Ray and Debra set up a meeting with math teacher Mr. Putnam to see what she could do to improve. Ray immediately picks up a "mean vibe" when they enter the classroom and clashes with Debra on how they should handle the situation. Later that evening, Amy tells Debra about a crush that Ally has for a "cute boy" in her math class. The next day, Debra has a follow up discussion with Mr. Putnam to tell him about Ally's distraction, but finds he's insensitive and mean. This leads to a role reversal back at the Barone home, as Ray becomes the responsible adult while Debra is concerned with the "cute boy" in Ally's life.
