From the transcript

So in those two hours a month, if they were there for those two hours, meaning they weren't on vacation, they weren't sick in the nurse's office or anything, they were there, and they had nutrition as one topic they would get an hour, maybe 2 hours each year about nutrition. Often it would be a review of what they had before and then a little bit more about nutrition. In CKLA, they're going to have 20 hours or more of deep understanding about nutrition, about nutrients, all the parts, how it works in the body, why you need all of those pieces, and it's going to be every day for several weeks. And so if a is absent, they're going to keep getting more understanding and have access to it because their classroom teacher is there. They're going to have the reader.
