They love that it was difficult, but they sit there and they're just like, mom, dad, I know how to do anything now.

And I have those skills that I'm developing.

And as a parent, you're like, that's the life skill that you want your kid to know how to do.

And the way to do it, though, first, right back to how the whole system has to work.

You have to have a system where the kids love school, where it only takes two hours.

So you have these afternoons to do this.

And then you have to have those three beliefs, those three things, including high standards is the key to your kid's happiness.

So the first part, when you hear about AI tutors and all this stuff, that's just the complete wrong misconception, is when adults in the building...

are critical.

People have this image of robot terminators.

Don't send your school to a school with robot terminators.

Terminology, we actually have a lot of discussion around the terminology.

Should we call them teachers?

But they don't do academic teaching.

So if you are an adult in our buildings, you do not do academic teaching.

And so that's why when we start, we're like, okay, we shouldn't call them teachers then because it gives the wrong impression.

So guides and coaches.

But then you're like, well, people think they're teachers and it's a new role for teachers.

Anyway, we'll see.

Figure it out.
