And so I think we're we're taking all of that very seriously.

Well what's what's exciting about Odyssey, I'll give a an overview there.

That was an early education company that saw the sea change happening at the state level around education saving accounts.

Um so in the same way that you have a health savings account through your employer that you can then put forward towards health care of any kind, um, this was a view um by a lot of states that that people should be able to opt out of the public school system, particularly parents that want to homeschool or that want to have sort of a hybrid

um method of learning for their children.

And this became very popular during COVID because it was sort of there weren't enough schools.

There weren't enough, you know, a lot of people had moved around the country and and and homeschooling and sort of alternative learning became very popular.

But now you're seeing, you know, coun uh states like Texas pass a universal ESA where any parent can opt their their child out of out of the the public school system and receive cash from the state.

And that cash has to be transferred and regulated somehow and ensured that that's actually being spent on education.

And so Odyssey is building the financial rails to do that tracking to make sure that parents get the cash that they deserve from these state programs and can put forward to any program that is approved by the state based on their bylaws.

And I think you're just seeing more and more experimentation with K-12 education.

One, because it's necessary, right?

There's there's more and more, I would say, special needs kids or kids that have different um learning capacities.

And people are realizing that one on one tutoring can support that.

Um so I think you're you're seeing, you know, a variety of different um

methods of of learning and they have to be, you know, supported by different types of technology.

Um, we're also obviously looking at how AI and and and one on one tutoring can can support

these initiatives, I think we're just going to see so many changes to K through twelve education um over the next decade, um, enabled by not only technology, but also just this kind of I would say this this sea change that happened because of COVID, um, which is realizing that that parents are sometimes best equipped to make the decisions about how their how their children are going to learn.

I have one, I feel like I have a broken record um with my request, which is offensive space.

Uh I think everyone looks to the past conflict and says, Oh, well, we look at what happened in Ukraine and that's what we should build.
