So a question I had was, is there any problems that you see in like schools in Philadelphia and how do you plan to fix those problems? I was just reading an article about truancy, about Apparently 50% of students in Philadelphia at some point have been drawn from school. And the article goes on to give some examples about why some of the children they were working with, why they were not going to school. (07:10–07:19)

CLAIM

Asserts that 50% of Philadelphia students have experienced truancy.
