Even a lot of you -- body gets a huge lapses on apple because is it the truth.

I'm just -- children -- -- losses teachers.

He also to show us your teacher's seniority issues even though he considered very energetic he had a great teacher who really loved her job -- -- that.

I I blame the -- the listener and -- system.

My.

Daughter and -- -- teacher and her husband is a police officer so I may be ruining Christmas for this next statement.

But the fact is I love what he said there about the fact that.

Really accountability is important and I know leather -- teachers but there's a lot of misuse in -- -- school.
