You graduate to be a two-hour learner, which then unlocks all these different privileges.

Our guides have different ones at different levels.

But think when you see the alpha pictures where the kids are in a beanbag with their computer, not sitting at a desk.

They've unlocked those privileges where they're like, yeah, you know how to be a self-driven learner.

You can do it however you want.

The booths that we have, they're literally like the phone booths that you see in the Silicon Valley.

We have those in our schools, and they're famous in our middle and high school because kids voluntarily go in those.

Where students learn, where do I learn best?

My daughter's an example where we have a communal table where you can all just sit together.

If you're a two-hour learner, you can just sit at the table.

Now, my daughter, she's a talker, and she's like, I can't sit at the communal table because I won't get anything done because I'm just going to sit and talk to my friends.

So she'll say, I'm going to go into one of the booths so I can get it done.

Kids, right, they learn this.

All kids learn, I totally know how to become a learner.

And if they have the motivation, i.e., you're giving them their time back,

They all do.

Those skills where you talk about, do kids have agency, right?

And do they own their learning?

And are they self-driven?

That's all part of the system where you create these two-hour learners, which are basically you're creating self-driven learners, which when you think long-term, that's a critical life skill that you really want to have.
