From the transcript
So I am more confident that students are going to get their healthy living skills this way than if we had asked our classroom teachers to teach Great Body Shop in the K-3. For 4th and 5th grade, their reading block is 30 minutes shorter each day, so they will have the time. Where I worry is getting the time to get in front of them to do the training with them. I feel confident that we're going to be able to do that this year because it's just the 4th and 5th grade teachers, and I think that if we offer enough training sessions both during the day and after, after school, compensated, that we'll be able to get to everybody. So I, I think we're going to be able to do that with the targeted 4th and 5th grade lessons.
