But like, but like they are so messed up. And the way he phrased it was like, these are kids who justifiably have no sense of authority when it comes to like schooling or teaching or parents or anything, because there was this two year period where they were just at home and could do whatever they wanted.

And he said, as a teacher, there was no way to discipline anybody or stop them from just playing Minecraft all day long. Right.

And like people, you know, the younger kids who were younger during COVID are now sort of like back into like the way our education, right. Of the rhythm of how we have traditionally done things.
