Welcome to the presentation on basic addition soon.

We'll talk com has done it's amazing.
Now -- and it's funded by Bill Gates and he offers web lectures on everything from history economics and computer science.
Is videos are viewed.
Millions of time.
Not only is it reaching millions of students right now but even if god forbid I got -- for by -- -- when I walked outside.
It'll still be able to reach millions of and maybe eventually billions of students you just happen to be good -- Oprah -- that is coupled with the -- It is a compliment he's a great teacher I hope that helps see in the next via.

We assume that.
Most people on their own people wanna do don't want -- -- -- don't wanna get engaged in mathematics and but -- I think that is frustrated because there there is that most of them are in classrooms that are not catering to them.
At first teachers worried that the online instruction could replace them.
I think -- so Ron has my teachers would tell you they have -- more math than they've ever -- before now teachers can tutor kids one and loan.
And and his humor and send him to win.
Back from.
I -- -- because kids can go at their own pace but that's students who are still working on is not application.
And then -- -- -- has whom some kids enjoy cons listens so much.
They study at home some of them are doing two in three hours a night at home when I'm asking for fifteen minute banana.
-- -- -- Spot on.
So finally after all these years of kids being bored in school in that learning math that's over.
I've I think it might be hopes.
