We'll figure it out.

But fundamentally, it's what matters.

Think about this is every adult has one or two teachers who transform their life.

Every adult has that.

Our guides are that for our students.

Literally, we have a survey question that we ask every eight weeks, which is that exact question to kids, which is every adult had one or two teachers who transformed your life.

Is your guide that for you?

And that is the standard we hold our guides up.

These adults, these guides, coaches, and teachers, their job is, and what they're accounted for, is to deliver the three commitments to the kids, that they love school, they learn 2X, and learn life skills.

They're accountable for that.

And they are seen by the kids as, you are transforming my life.

And so you think about who's good at that.

The first part of it is, and this gets back to academics and the teacher in front of the classroom,

whoever is in your head, the reason they transform your life is not because they graded your seventh grade science quiz really well.

It's because they met you and motivated you and understood you.

And they probably held you to a high standard and convinced you that you could do a lot more.

Back to the key to your happiness and success is high standards.

High support, high standards.

Great teachers...

are high support, high standards.
