Prediction text
Public school adoption of Alpha model will take place in the second decade, not the first. | Your your um public school I'm going to be doing this for 20 years. Mackenzie's in for 20 years. The public school side I think is going to be like the second decade, not the first decade, which is we're doing a lot. It's all private, right?
