That's what we were talking about earlier.

So the students who will need the more academic support are lost in the crack because they're coming from a regular 10 month school year with 30 kids, and here I am in summarizing with another 30 kids.

Where are you ever gonna see them?
1:19:33
We're not gonna see them.
1:19:34
We're gonna lose them in the crack again.
