0:15.2	Our fall break, exactly.
0:17.1	Did you know that L.A. Unified School District had the entire Thanksgiving week off?
0:24.3	Like, those kids didn't go to school from...
0:27.1	I think it's like the norm now. Like, nationwide.
0:31.3	I'm sorry. Those poor parents and the people who are hosting Thanksgiving,
0:35.9	what do you mean all of your kids are home as you're
0:38.6	having to do Thanksgiving shopping, as you're having to make things? Like, that is so cruel. We saw our
0:44.1	neighbor who has four kids and she was walking them in. I didn't know about this thing, but Mots had
0:49.7	brought it up because he had heard because our nephew was off school. And he brought up to the mom when she was with one of her kids. And she's like,

1:44.7	then I subscribe to it. Whatever makes it easier for the teachers. Like I'm always like, oh,
1:49.2	how are the parents handling it? I'm sorry, teachers are before parents in this case for me.
1:54.3	Teachers, if they like it, I love it. Me too. So welcome back. Teachers, let us know. Do you like it? If so, we're loving it.
