Your scores aren't high enough.
And the reason we use a lot of standardized tests, first off, when I talk to the parents, I'm like, even our parents don't like standardized testing.
They actually love it with alpha because they wouldn't believe our results.
If I sat here and just said, hey.
That's better.
Trust me.
Trust me.
That two hours is totally working.
They're like, what's the test?
We do a mid-year test.
So you come in in August or September and take your MAPS test that we use.
We use third party.
And then in January, you get your mid-year update.
For parents who come in, first they're like, okay, this sounds really exciting.
And then their kid comes in and is doing the two-hour day.
Their kid's loving school.
Somewhere around December, because they're home at Christmas and the family members are like, this seems like a front.
Is your kid really learning and all this stuff?
They start to get a little freaked out.
And then the January MAPS test come back and shows they're learning twice as much in two hours a day.
