We are changing the way evaluations are being done and kind of the format that most of the schools are used to.

And that's important for us to be able to have places that come in and do disruption because...

Education is firmly rooted in tradition and it's just the way it is, but it doesn't have to be that way.

It's not better for kids.

I mean, if you think about like the whole language and the, um, it's just a debate within, um, education for reading it's phonics or whole language.

Well, there's a lot of us who were, uh,

raised on a certain type and struggle with reading and it's just this pendulum goes back and forth and and it always stays within that well what if it's something different why aren't we trying other things and so you know all of these behavior issues and man and the anxiety and the depression and all of these school avoidance issues that we're seeing now it really it's it's

I think a lot of it is schools not necessarily giving the students what they need because the schools don't have the knowledge of what they need.

And so, you know, we create these big bureaucratic systems that are supposed to come in and like, you know, speak into everything that you're supposed to do, but it doesn't always work that way.

And it doesn't always happen that way.

Okay.

Yes.

I think that there are some innovators.

In California, we're predominantly charter schools.

So they're kind of like able to be a little bit more innovative.

But education in general, and when you get these big districts that, you know, there isn't really any, I mean, they'll try and there'll be some funding for something.

It all comes back to money.

But we're not teaching kids.

I laugh because you said you did so well.

And the whole time I'm thinking, I'm like, well, I graduated high school with a 1.6 grade point average.
