A
Well, one hundred percent of the, uh, customers care. That's one thing. Everybody cares about the education the kids are getting. And, uh, they, uh, take an active, relatively active part. Which, uh, I mean if you're, uh, sending two thousand dollars that way every year, you, uh, watch what goes on and you, uh, uh, pay attention and participate and, and you can influence the way things are.
B
So you're saying that the taxpayer who also is really paying through the pocketbook for the education of the child may not be quite so conscious of the fact that they are paying the tuition for that child in the form of, uh, real estate or other taxes and, and, consequently, they're not so motivated to get involved and make sure things happen the way they'd like to see them happen?
A
Yeah. The immediacy just isn't there.
B
Uh-huh.
A
And, uh, uh, I also think that one of the problems and, actually, I don't think this, I think this is a cultural problem. The, uh, problem with public education is really, uh, really a problem with the culture. And, I guess my evidence for that is the school districts in places like California, for example, where only a minority of the taxpayers have children in school and you can't get a tax levy passed. Uh, people are, uh, reluctant to pass, uh, school tax levies even, uh, when the money is needed or would be well spent because it's, uh, they don't have kids in the schools.
B
Right.
