First of all, John, thank you for establishing that fund. I'm going to be out of work in a couple years; I might apply myself. [Laughter] I would like to emphasize one thing about this electronic dashboard. Now, you all haven't seen it yet, so I don't want to talk too much about it. But I want to emphasize--the fact that you're setting it up means that you believe, like all folks on this side of the stage, that all parents should be able to have access to technology and be taught to use it so they can be in communication with their children's teachers and principals. And I think that's a very important thing because a lot of school districts, in part, haven't done this because they think, ``Well, maybe my parents don't speak English very well; how can they learn to use a computer?'' And I think that's looking at it backwards. So I'd like for you to just emphasize that you do not think this is just something that middle and upper middle class school districts have to use. [The discussion continued.]
