I want to talk about some of those things, and I really want to talk about just the broader state of education. But Margaret Spelling, quick question to you. For a long time, Republicans have criticized the reach, the size of the Department of Education.

Another thing I want to put to both of you, and John, I'll start with you. We just got those high-level data back showing that so many students across the country still struggling with basics like reading and math post-COVID. Is there an argument that the current system just isn't working?
