Yeah.

I mean, that's what I was thinking the whole time we're talking is I'm thinking, well, what about those students who are left behind?

Because everybody isn't going and doing the school choice, you know, and that might take a parent who's really involved, understands the system, understands.

And if you you may not have those resources, if you are grandmama taking care of your grandkids and you don't even get on the Internet.

So who are these kids who are being left behind, in a sense, in these public schools?

Hold on.

That's, I mean, that's really tough.

And I mean, she just sounds really dedicated, you know, to these kids and to the school.

So...

How do you make sense of all of this?

Like, what do you feel like this means for the country?

Well, thank you so much, Corey, for giving us some things to think about and for all of this reporting.

Thanks for having me.
