And one thing I don't want to see is the return of intense pressure, the race to the finish line when we come out of this.

We've already seen it a little bit.

If you talk to enough high schoolers right now, they will tell you,

How, you know, my primary focus is how I'm going to get into college, and when I keep getting sent home for exposures, and then my grades are going to suffer, and I need to get into A, B, and C, and I need to do all these things.

You know, my own 15-year-old, who's a freshman in high school, she just finished her first semester of high school, came home and said...

oh my gosh, they came to my math class again and told us exactly what math classes we have to take if we want to go to a four-year college and what we have to do to go to a four-year college.

And so the messaging out of the gate for these kids is you have to check all these boxes to do this.

And this is what we want you to do, right?

The message is clear.

Oh, we want you to go to the four-year college.

Now, I always say the gift of the United States is that we have thousands of colleges, universities, and community colleges.

So there are choices galore for kids in our community colleges.

can be a huge gift for a lot of students, particularly students who don't know what they want to study.

They don't know what their next step is.

So they can explore without the high stakes pressure of some of our other colleges and universities.

So, you know, I would like to see that we can take a slower approach to really getting kids back on track.

Yes, academics are important.

We want kids to learn, but primarily we want them to care for their mental health.

We want them to care for each other.

You know, we want to bring back empathy and compassion, which is severely lacking in a lot of areas right now.
