With you.
There and definite abstraction.
I don't think you're going to get rid of them what ever we may want.

But it lacks rigor in America what do charter schools in the book written more.
But not rigorous enough for my -- -- they have union members looking into the schools -- I think some new rules some are unionized ours are not have you got the flexibility because you don't have a whole -- bureaucracy on your back we -- But we also have to fix the schools and education because we are not training teachers adequately.

That's what the politicians on dragging their feet because the union organizers the vote which puts in all -- -- -- tensions.
That's that's correct and it's but the Republican issue and a democratic issue saw this morning the unions are giving to Republicans in Ohio just as much as the Democrats.
We gotta have a political system that's responsive to parents and not the special interest that we don't have that he's not.
