We did hear concerns from parents that, you know, if their kid doesn't go on to college, does that mean that they might be less successful later on? And lastly, some parents and even teachers that we talked to said that they had some concerns sort of about this shift to celebrating a bigger spectrum of post-secondary opportunities.
They had some concerns about maybe that means that the school is lowering expectations. If the school says, well, not everybody has to go to college, does that actually mean that we have lower expectations for students in our school? Yeah. And that doesn't have to be true. We are seeing schools where expectations remain really high.
However, I think the concern about lowering expectations is totally legitimate because there's a big risk to guard against going backwards in time where teachers and even some parents are saying, well, some students are sort of made for college and others are really better to go to the military, like the counselor told your dad, or to go kind of work with their hands.
And that kind of tracking and going back to that kind of tracking is a huge risk that we want to guard against. And I think that schools really are genuinely grappling right now with how do we make sure that everybody has equal chances at a good life with different pathways to get there.
