Video transcript
When we asked Liv about, you know, what she likes best about school, she would say she likes getting picked up. It was like a struggle getting Liv to school. There would just be like various complaints of things that she was dreading that was gonna happen that day, whether it was like some assignment or some conflicts in the class. She had 32 kids in her class because there really weren't better alternatives and I think things changed when we when we heard about Alpha. You were designed an education system from the ground up today and you had no preconceived notion or ideas of what it should be. You'd probably create something like Alpha. So the big difference since she started Alpha is really she's excited to talk about what she's doing in the day and we have such a much like stronger relationship because I because I know what's what's happening day to day and I can track her progress academically with with it with the DASH system. It's just a level of motivation of doing school related things with her own initiative like that wasn't really anything that never really happened before. That stuff doesn't exist here. All the things that she's telling us she's working on are obviously value add for her future. She's giving us like concrete things she's enjoying and it's obvious that she's motivated, which is really cool. It's not easy to motivate a kid. Well I don't want to admit that I would pay more, but I would.
