Right. If we think of this from the administrator's perspective, the guy that runs this school, the principal, this principal, in order to get money for the child because the principals care about the kids. There is no doubt about that in my mind. But the principal who is trying to get money to help the child has to beg to these politicians at the school board to get the cash. In order for the school members to get the cash, they have to beg to the State Department of Education here to get the money. They have to apply for grants. They have to go down to the State capitals. And they have to learn the language of education finance.
