Second, it is one of those things: What do you measure? Do you measure parochial schools in New York City or are you measuring all the private schools, very exclusive schools?

But when you go to some of the private schools, that is not quite the case. I suggest if it is not limited to parochial schools, it is going to be taken advantage of.
