Okay.

00:00:55.503 --> 00:01:23.929
And I can vouch for ABC because I had biology and biology leap throughout all of my classroom career and I lived and breathed with ABC for the biology as a crash course to study, when I left stuff for substitutes and even for bell ringers to begin the class or to close the class, and in my role now as a curriculum person at our school, I'm able to do that for our other core subjects through y'all Wow.
