You know, NAEP only tests every two years, so it'll take a while to close this gap. But many states are doing it on their own. We saw Louisiana, for example, where I'm going tomorrow, we saw Louisiana, who was almost in last place in reading proficiency, and they brought in the science of reading and in two years have gone from almost last to number 16. So that's incredible progress. And so we can see if states focus on it and adopt it, we can really, really see great progress. Well, thank you so much. (25:20–25:31)
