00:00:18
doing that. And because they couldn't they couldn't, you know, growing up,
00:00:22
public schools were like always painted negatively for me and they were seen as like a threat. um you know, a spiritual

00:00:47
just regular people and these are just regular kids and this is the most accessible education option for the vast
