When you have a great teacher, they're amazing.

But I will tell you, the reason that I love those teachers so much wasn't because of how well they taught math to me.

It was...

That they knew me.

They saw me.

I spent time with them.

They cared about us.

Like, we understood that.

And then you think about how many teachers we had over the years.

And when you can say, well, two of them changed our life.

Now, again, no fault to teachers.

Teachers are amazing, but they don't have time to pour into Sonia and Simon and Mackenzie when they're trying to get through everything.

They just can't do it all.

And one of the things that we ask our students every six weeks during each session, we ask our students this question.

For younger students, do you love your guide, yes or no?

And for older students, every adult would say they have one or two teachers who transform their life.

Do you believe your guide is that person for you?

And we get our answers in the 90s for that question.

And again, it's it's kind of points to that magic rule of having these adults have the time and space to really focus on that motivational and emotional connection with students, which I think, you know, will help with how then they react when they're out in the play yard, you know, and what they're doing.

And one thing I think is so important, you know, when we're talking about kind of misconceptions that people have when they first hear about this, you know, AI school.
