Like you suddenly have this mind shift where, okay, I need a PhD.

Probably not true, but like that starts, I mean, definitely not true, but that starts seeping in.

The person who founded my high school was,

was like a former director of Fermilab and he'd have like these lunches with Nobel laureates with like, they'd come in and give talks and then he would have lunch with the students if it was just him every Monday or something, I remember.

Yeah.

I went to, it's a public school.

This is a public school?

So this is not Chicago public school.

So I went K through eight Chicago public schools and they have like these kind of magnet-like programs, like gifted center type of thing.

They have different types of magnet programs.

So

CPS is so large that they have fun schools for kids who like school, I guess.

Then I went to the state school that's three years boarding school paid for mainly by the state of Illinois, math and science school, Illinois Math and Science Academy.

So I think it's funded under the umbrella of University of Illinois or whatnot.

There's precedents in South Carolina, I believe, and Texas and others, where it's just like a STEM boarding school that the state runs.

It's public.

But it's like you get this, you have to take the SAT to get in and things like that.

But it's kind of actually cool that there are these- That is cool.

Yeah, public schools.

Yeah.
