Yeah. And if people don't have any money, it is really difficult. And so I don't know what it costs here in New York City. You know, in Vermont, it costs $15,000, $20,000. Imagine you have two kids. Forget it. That's right. Exactly. But again, take a deep breath and say, okay, if we as a nation understand that that's the future of America, we want the best.

You would say, okay, we're going to have really great teachers for them. We'll treat these teachers with respect, pay them well. They're doing really important work.

So kids, young people graduate school in debt. We're not getting the best and the brightest people. Do we respect, you tell me, do we respect education in this country? No, we don't really. What do you mean by respect? That we say, man, you're going to be a teacher. Oh, educators.
