I think that there is almost unanimity around this notion that more students need to have the opportunity to both earn and learn.
We have got to continue to raise the specter of these opportunities and give them equal credence to the unspoken or often very verbally articulated pressure to go to a 4-year college.
More and more studies show that kids are actually stoppers of the disease and they don't get it and transmit it themselves. So we should be in a posture of -- the default should be getting back to school kids in-person, in the classroom.
