High school age, whether there are some middle school. It was interesting the way the building is divided to where a subset of middle school specialized with one group. But because of COVID, it was divided up into pods because they were worried about cross-contamination of COVID. So there was 10 students approximately to one site.

And I was assigned to one site as the multimedia teacher, teaching the same thing I've always taught. And there was no crossover.

And this assistant principal walks in and he's like dressed, there was really no dress code. And he walks in and he's like, blow my mind in eight seconds. And then I forget what I said.
