And that number would have been far higher, presumably, if those cohorts had been included.

And so you do wonder, you know, what the agenda behind that was.

But to get back to your question, I mean, we are currently in a position, well, we're to think, you know, strategically about where we would like to live, which obviously given the housing crisis, you know, it's a real, it's really, really problematic.

We're sort of pigeonholed.

potentially depending on our financial situation.

And so our preference is, like probably most parents in this country, is to send our kids to the local school, wherever that may be.

And our preference would be to try and find and educate together a multi-generational school, but that might not end up being the case.

Exactly.

And also, you know, these schools are way oversubscribed as well.

So it's not even a guarantee that you'd get into them.

There's such a demand for these schools.

And so, no, our preference would be to send them to the local school.

And if the local school was a Catholic school, you know, we would send them there and go through all of these charades of what all the parents have been doing so far and getting our kids.

But by far, it's not our preference.

We'd want our kids, it seems so basic, right, that you'd want your children's constitutional rights to be upheld and for them not to be discriminated against.

I mean, if we were talking about race or gender, imagine kids having to sit at the back of a classroom if they were a different gender or a different race.

It would just be absolutely unthinkable.

And that's the current situation that so many hundreds, thousands of parents are finding themselves in.

And I think a lot of people who are willing to go along with it, and that's a lot of people, right, because it seems so benign in many ways to them, are not considering just the anguish and the pain and the isolation that you have four and five-year-olds experiencing day in, day out, where they feel ostracized.

I mean, and they are ostracized just by design, virtue of them not having clear guidelines in place.
