0:21.0	Rick Green here with David and Tim Barton. Guys, today's topic, of course, not a new topic for us.
0:24.9	Education, we talk a lot about how to improve it, how to get, you know, basically move it away

1:32.7	that way with school choice in a lot of ways. There's so many good things and people will get
