I just want to say, we all knew when we started we were addressing a very big problem. I am sure each of us from time to time has wondered whether what we were doing was going to have as big an effect as we hoped on our children in their ability to improve their brainpower, as we help teachers who teach them be better teachers of the hard subjects of math and science and the like. I am sure many times we wondered whether this was the right avenue and approach. But once we got into it, it was apparent we had not been led astray, that the leaders who put it together for us--and there is not a large group of them, but they are very talented, and they are very American--sought nothing but to give us the best recommendations for our country.
