I'd like to just add, my kids go to Brooklyn Tech High School here in New York. And I know that there was a chapter of the Luddite Club at Brooklyn Tech.

And I think one thing that Catherine and I are so thrilled by is if this is such a big problem, childhood has been rewired

Teachers are fed up.
