And I used to be vice president of our state board of education. So I understand. And we weren't playing around. We wanted to know why aren't the kids learning? And We put in standards and the kids scores that Were going up like this. I rolled off the board. And then McAuliffe, who hiss, he became governor and he put his people on, they dropped the stage scores and the kids learning went like this. So now what I'm telling you is we're not going back. The same Abigail, the same Abigail who didn't want the schools reopened. Now she's saying that the kids, their scores are down. (13:28–13:46)
