So based on where you started with us, after a year, 2 years, 6 months, we do international benchmark testing, I think twice a year, and that allows us to, 1, just compare with the high global standards versus just the local standard, and 2, it allows us to get really strong data about the growth of the student and where we need to double down on support...”
