Hello, everybody. I had the opportunity today
0:03
to speak with Catherine Burbelsing, who
0:19
has a reputation as being the strictest headmistress
0:21
in all of Great Britain. I
0:24
went to her school, the Michaela School. It's
0:27
an inner city school in London. I went
0:29
there about a year ago, and it was
0:31
really memorable and really quite moving. What
0:34
she has done with that school is, it
0:38
was really something to see. Those
0:40
kids were alert and
0:42
learning at a rate that I'd never
0:44
seen in any educational institution, even at
0:47
the highest levels of graduate seminar, let's
0:49
say. So that was remarkable
0:51
to see. And the kids were
0:53
secure and happy there, and it's
0:56
a very disciplined and structured place. And
0:58
the teachers were as engaged
1:00
in the educational enterprise as the
1:02
children. And also the results
1:06
of her school are
1:08
stellar. Her students, even
1:10
though they're not selected, regularly
1:13
graduate in the
1:16
top echelons of the standardized
1:18
testing results that are universal
1:21
across Great Britain. And they're much
1:23
more likely to be admitted to
1:25
high-level universities than the graduates of
1:28
virtually any other school that
1:31
exists in that country. She's quite
1:33
the force of nature,
1:35
Catherine Burbelsing, that's for sure, as
1:37
well. So she's a very compelling
1:39
and interesting person. And so
1:42
I think, seriously, more power to her.
1:44
Now, she invited me to that Michaela School
1:46
and then took a picture with
1:49
me and put it on Twitter and just
1:51
got more flack for that than you can
1:53
possibly imagine. And her response to that was,
1:56
well, to decide at least in part to speak with
1:58
me further on the YouTube channel. channel so
2:00
that gives you some insight
2:03
into just how much force of character she
2:05
has. So a remarkable
2:07
school, truly. You'd be fortunate
2:10
indeed to have your children attend
2:12
it and an equally remarkable
2:15
woman who runs it. She's
2:17
like a character in a Harry
2:19
Potter novel, seriously. So
2:22
join us. Why don't
2:24
you talk about what you are doing
2:26
at the Michaela School in London. Tell
2:28
everybody, start right from the beginning. Tell
2:30
everybody what it is, how it operates,
2:33
and why it works so
2:35
spectacularly well. Yeah, well
2:37
we're in the inner city. We
2:40
opened in 2014. We're a free school, which
2:42
is the equivalent of, say, a charter school
2:44
in America. We had to
2:46
fight for three and a half years in order to open
2:48
because free schools only started
2:50
in Britain in 2010 with
2:52
the then new conservative government.
2:55
And there were a lot of people who tried to
2:58
stop us from opening. We
3:00
had people protesting outside with
3:02
banners insulting us.
3:05
Every time we tried to have a parents evening
3:08
in various parts of London to
3:10
tell the local parents, and these are
3:12
inner-city parents, remember, so they're poor brown
3:15
and black parents from the inner city, people
3:18
from outside London, white people from
3:21
outside London would come in on
3:23
buses in order to stand outside
3:25
with their protest cards insulting us,
3:27
in particular me, because I had spoken
3:30
at the Conservative Party conference in 2010
3:32
and I had said that the education
3:34
system was broken. And so they
3:37
really hated me for that and they
3:39
were determined to stop us from setting up this school
3:41
because obviously I was evil because
3:43
I'd spoken at this conference. Not that I'm even
3:45
a member of the Conservative Party but, you know,
3:47
I had spoken there and I
3:50
think as a black teacher from the
3:52
inner city who, you know, was state
3:54
educated myself, you know, I'm
3:56
just not allowed to go to the Conservative
3:58
Party and give my views. If
4:01
I'd been at one of the teacher unions saying
4:03
what I thought, I think that would have been acceptable. So
4:07
people would- I don't
4:11
know if what you have to say would be
4:13
acceptable, even at a teacher's union. That's
4:15
true. Well, people would come in, they'd
4:19
storm the events for parents, and they would
4:21
put themselves amongst the parents. Then when we
4:24
would try and speak to the parents, they
4:26
would stand up and start shouting and saying
4:28
things like, you betrayed us when you spoke
4:30
at the Conservative Party Conference. I'd be thinking,
4:32
how could I betray you? I don't even
4:34
know who you are. This is ridiculous. So
4:38
it took us three and a half years. We
4:41
had to move from different parts of London, trying
4:43
to find a building. Eventually, we managed to open
4:45
in 2014. But
4:47
even then, there were protesters outside handing leaflets
4:50
to the children, telling them their lives were
4:52
in danger in our building. It's
4:55
actually quite an extraordinary story that we ever managed to get
4:57
off the ground, but we did. There's
5:02
an inspector called Ofsted here in Britain,
5:04
and they came to see us three years in, and
5:07
gave us the highest score possible, and said that we
5:09
were very good. People really didn't like that.
5:12
Then a couple
5:14
of years later, had what
5:16
we have in Britain, GCSC
5:18
exams. These
5:20
are national exams that children take at age 16.
5:24
They then track the progress that
5:27
the children make from when they
5:29
join us in year seven,
5:31
which is the American equivalent to grade seven. Then
5:33
they do these exams when they're in grade 11,
5:35
year 11. At
5:37
that time, our first year, we came
5:39
fifth in the country for
5:42
our progress that is tracked by
5:45
government. We were
5:47
all celebrating, of course, our detractors very much didn't
5:49
like that. Then there were a couple of years
5:51
of COVID, and so it was impossible to track
5:54
progress for the whole country. In
5:57
the last two years, we've come top in
5:59
the country. for our progress. And
6:02
again, you know, our detractors
6:04
very much don't like that. They
6:06
especially don't like when I explain why
6:08
it is we're doing so
6:10
well. I mean, we have had over
6:12
7,000 visitors come visit the school in the last
6:15
10 years from all over the
6:17
world. And people can just go onto our website and
6:19
sign up, you
6:21
know, from Australia, from New Zealand,
6:23
from Canada, America, all across Europe,
6:26
and lots of British teachers who
6:28
then take ideas from
6:31
our school and they implement it into their own schools. And
6:34
I think we have very much changed the debate around
6:36
education about what works. And some of
6:38
the things that I say very much annoy our progressive
6:42
detractors, because I say that
6:44
small C conservative values work, that
6:46
a small C conservative school is
6:48
what's best for children, values
6:51
like personal responsibility, a sense of
6:53
duty towards others, self-sacrifice on a
6:55
personal level for the benefit of
6:58
the whole. These are
7:00
all things that don't sit well. We
7:02
are obviously very much anti critical
7:04
race theory, anti gender ideology, and
7:07
anti division of children according
7:09
to their gender or race
7:12
or sexuality. We sing God
7:14
Save the King, our
7:16
national anthem, which is basically unheard
7:18
of in Britain in America. You
7:21
know, you're not, I shouldn't say yours because you're Canadian,
7:24
but your viewers might be a lot
7:26
of be American. And I know
7:28
they're used to hearing their
7:30
presidents say, you know,
7:33
God bless America at the end of their speeches.
7:35
That doesn't happen here in Britain.
7:38
There seems to be quite a big, you
7:41
know, quite a lot of
7:43
shame around British
7:45
historical past, the
7:48
slavery, colonialism, and so on. The
7:50
guilt kind of rests there. And
7:52
it's, we don't sort of celebrate
7:54
that. We might in a football match, you know,
7:56
definitely we sing the national anthem then, but
7:59
journalists. multiculturalism
1:16:00
is that if each group is vying
1:16:02
for their rights and it's always, I
1:16:04
want this, I want that, and you're
1:16:06
a racist or you're an Islamophobe unless
1:16:08
I get it, then we'll
1:16:10
never be happy. We'll never be successful.
1:16:12
And schools struggle with this because they
1:16:14
are multicultural communities. And unfortunately, our whole
1:16:17
culture encourages them to divide children according
1:16:19
to race and religion and sexuality and
1:16:21
so on. So you have your LGBT
1:16:23
group over there, you have your Hindu
1:16:25
group over there, the Muslim group over
1:16:27
here and so on. If
1:16:30
that happens in your school, it
1:16:32
becomes impossible because you're trying to
1:16:34
please everybody and sometimes those rights
1:16:37
clash. So for instance, Muslim
1:16:39
children want to eat halal food. Sikh
1:16:41
children are not allowed to eat halal
1:16:43
food. Well, what do you do if
1:16:46
you have a situation where family lunch
1:16:48
means that you all share the same
1:16:50
food? Well, I'll tell you what you
1:16:52
do, you go vegetarian. So we all
1:16:54
eat vegetarian food and that we do
1:16:56
practical things. We don't have a prayer
1:16:58
room, we have vegetarian food, we use
1:17:02
the same plates and it doesn't matter who you
1:17:04
are, you have to leave
1:17:06
those demands at the gate and
1:17:08
make sure that you value
1:17:12
the whole over your
1:17:14
individual rights because you understand
1:17:17
that it's your responsibility to
1:17:19
value the group and
1:17:23
the school over your own
1:17:25
personal desires. Well,
1:17:28
the thing is too, you make
1:17:30
a case that I would argue
1:17:32
is actually more subtle than that.
1:17:34
Okay. Because it, well, it isn't
1:17:36
only that you're calling upon your
1:17:39
kids and your parents to
1:17:41
sacrifice. What you've pointed
1:17:43
out, and I think this is evident in your
1:17:46
school, is that the
1:17:48
freedom that the libertarians and let's say
1:17:50
even the anarchic leftist
1:17:52
radicals desire is
1:17:55
actually only possible within the
1:17:57
confines of a shared community.
1:18:00
And so, you know, your opponents might say,
1:18:02
well, look how strict you are with the
1:18:04
children, they have no freedom, but
1:18:06
your rejoinder is something like, no,
1:18:09
we establish a community with boundaries
1:18:11
and walls, so that people know
1:18:13
what the expectations are with regards
1:18:15
to upward striving, and then within
1:18:17
that, they have true freedom. So,
1:18:20
you know, I'll give you an example. This is
1:18:22
a cool example. So-
1:18:25
True freedom requires restriction. Yes, go on.
1:18:28
Well, so when Moses faces the
1:18:30
Pharaoh to free the Israelites, God
1:18:32
tells him to say something to
1:18:34
the Pharaoh, and he says it
1:18:36
repeatedly, and some of it's famous.
1:18:38
He says, let my people go.
1:18:41
And that's a civil rights cry. That
1:18:44
is not what Moses says. Moses
1:18:47
says, God said to
1:18:49
me, let my people go
1:18:52
so that they may worship me in the desert.
1:18:55
And so it's a vision of ordered freedom
1:18:57
and not a vision of anarchic
1:19:00
freedom. What the Israelites have in
1:19:02
the desert, which they hate, is
1:19:04
anarchic freedom, right? Because
1:19:06
so they go from tyranny to anarchic
1:19:08
freedom, and it's a catastrophe. So
1:19:11
what's set up instead is a hierarchy
1:19:13
like your pyramid. That's the subsidiary structure,
1:19:16
and that's responsibility as the antidote to
1:19:18
tyranny and slavery. And you do that
1:19:20
in your school. And so you are
1:19:22
actually providing those kids with freedom. You
1:19:25
are not taking it away. And
1:19:28
what you're doing is restricting anarchy. Imagine
1:19:31
earning a degree that prepares you with
1:19:33
real skills for the real world. Capella
1:19:35
University's programs teach skills relevant to your
1:19:38
career, so you can apply what you
1:19:40
learn right away. Learn how Capella can
1:19:42
make a difference in your life at
1:19:44
capella.edu. Indeed.
1:19:47
And the thing is, in order for children, look,
1:19:50
the Christian God would also say, honor thy
1:19:52
mother and father, right? And what do they mean
1:19:54
by honor thy mother and father? Your
1:19:57
father and mother love you. and
1:20:00
they are going to restrict some of your freedoms, and
1:20:02
they're going to force you to do things like eat
1:20:04
your broccoli that you don't like, and your teachers are
1:20:06
going to force you to learn your calculus, even though
1:20:08
you think it's a bit boring, and there are going
1:20:10
to be all kinds of restrictions around you. And you
1:20:12
get annoyed as a kid because you think, I want
1:20:15
to be able to do whatever I want. One
1:20:18
day, you will be able to do
1:20:20
whatever you want, but by then, you
1:20:22
have earned that right. By then, you
1:20:24
have taken the wisdom from your elders.
1:20:26
You talk about hierarchies, and you say
1:20:28
hierarchies are sometimes bad because they are
1:20:31
hierarchies of power. You're absolutely right. But
1:20:33
hierarchies of competence are good, and the
1:20:35
fact is that the adults here are
1:20:37
meant to be the more competent ones,
1:20:39
and they're meant to embrace that conscience.
1:20:41
Well, that's the definition of adulthood. Well,
1:20:43
it's meant to be. Unfortunately, adults these
1:20:45
days don't feel like they're the most
1:20:47
competent. In fact, they're made to feel
1:20:49
like they're bad people if they insist
1:20:51
that children should listen to them. And
1:20:53
the whole student voice
1:20:55
thing, and giving
1:20:57
them tons of choice about stuff and so on.
1:21:00
Look, we are meant, I'm not saying don't ever
1:21:02
listen to children. Obviously, you listen to them, but
1:21:05
you also know that you know better,
1:21:07
right? And you make sure
1:21:09
that you support them in choosing
1:21:11
the better choice, and also in
1:21:14
knowing why it's the better choice. We
1:21:17
don't say to kids, look, do
1:21:19
whatever you want. Go to the supermarket and buy
1:21:21
whatever you want. Well, they'll come back with a
1:21:24
whole load of cookies, right? I mean, I find
1:21:26
it hard enough now to stay away from the
1:21:28
cookies, you know? Thank goodness my mother
1:21:30
told me to eat the broccoli, because I eat the
1:21:32
broccoli, because I now have the knowledge that it's better
1:21:34
for me. And I also have
1:21:36
the experience of knowing that if I don't
1:21:38
eat broccoli, that I'm not going to feel
1:21:41
very good in myself, I need to go
1:21:43
to the gym and so on. Kids don't
1:21:45
understand that. So because they don't understand that,
1:21:47
we need to pull the fence in tight.
1:21:49
And it's our job as adults to be
1:21:51
instilling these habits in them, and then they
1:21:53
climb that pyramid till eventually they get to
1:21:55
the top. And it's who they are. So
1:21:57
you were asking for those kids who cognitively,
1:21:59
they're perhaps not. as bright as other ones,
1:22:01
how do they feel happy and satisfied? Because
1:22:04
we very much don't just talk about
1:22:06
cognitive success. We talk about
1:22:08
the kind of person you are, and
1:22:11
that it's who we are as the
1:22:13
top of the pyramid. Can you be somebody
1:22:15
who's grateful, who's kind, who's decent? You
1:22:17
know, for some of our children, they
1:22:20
might be the manager in a
1:22:22
shoe shop. Well, you know what? Well
1:22:25
done you. And if you're somebody who
1:22:27
can turn up every day on time
1:22:29
and you can pay for your mortgage
1:22:31
and you can look after your wife
1:22:33
and your children, good on you. That
1:22:35
is a hugely successful life. And it's
1:22:37
about recognizing that a life of dignity
1:22:40
is one of purpose,
1:22:43
of knowing who you're going to be,
1:22:45
of trying to become something, of being
1:22:47
able, when you're 90 years old, to
1:22:49
look back from your deathbed and look
1:22:52
at your life and say, I lived
1:22:54
for something, I contributed, I made the
1:22:56
world into a better place. That's what
1:22:58
you want. You know, becoming
1:23:00
some billionaire, I mean, I
1:23:02
don't know, most billionaires are unhappy. Certainly their
1:23:05
children are unhappy. And often because their children
1:23:07
were just given exponential choices,
1:23:09
have whatever you want, have a
1:23:11
great time. You know what? That
1:23:13
makes children miserable. What makes children
1:23:16
happy is the love of a
1:23:19
restricted choice, of teaching
1:23:22
them knowledge, of allowing them to
1:23:24
stand on the shoulders of giants. As
1:23:27
Newton said, he said, if I see further, it is
1:23:29
because I stand on the shoulders of giants. And
1:23:32
what he meant by that, Shakespeare, Newton,
1:23:34
even Thatcher, who went to Newton's, well,
1:23:37
the equivalent girls' grammar school, they
1:23:39
all learned traditionally. In
1:23:43
Shakespeare's day, they would memorize loads. They
1:23:45
would read Latin texts. How
1:23:48
did Shakespeare become the great that he is? He
1:23:50
actually, he stole stuff from other authors. He
1:23:53
copied. That is what children need to do in
1:23:55
the first place. They need to be able to
1:23:57
copy. They need to learn from others. And
1:24:00
that is by showing them through example,
1:24:02
developing those habits, so that
1:24:04
eventually they are at top of the pyramid. So
1:24:06
just yesterday, our year 11s, grade 11s, who
1:24:09
took their GCSE exams, the exams
1:24:11
finished yesterday. So that we had a
1:24:13
big pizza party and they had cans
1:24:16
of Coke for the first time in
1:24:18
five years. Okay, they've never had, they're
1:24:20
there, oh my goodness, pizza that we
1:24:23
ordered in from like Domino's, and
1:24:25
we had cans of Coke and
1:24:27
they were there like, wow, this
1:24:30
is amazing. The kids can't believe next
1:24:32
Thursday with the England game, they're allowed
1:24:35
to bring their own crisps and their
1:24:37
own chocolate. They
1:24:39
think heaven has come early, they can't believe
1:24:41
it, right? And that's because we
1:24:43
don't normally give them this sort of stuff.
1:24:45
And then children are really grateful for those
1:24:47
small things. And so they were having this
1:24:49
massive party outside and it was wonderful and
1:24:51
they were signing their shirts and so on,
1:24:53
they finished their exams and they know they've
1:24:56
done really well because they have climbed that
1:24:58
pyramid. And my thing is, when
1:25:00
we have our prom next week, I'm gonna be saying to
1:25:02
them, we try
1:25:04
and get the little birdies at the top
1:25:06
and then we tell them, fly little birdie.
1:25:08
And that's where those wings need to be
1:25:10
able to fly. Now, the only
1:25:13
way those wings are gonna be able to
1:25:15
fly is if we pump them through of
1:25:17
wonderful knowledge so that they can come up
1:25:19
with their own creative ideas and they've learned
1:25:21
how to think through attaining
1:25:24
and grasping that knowledge over those
1:25:26
five years. And
1:25:28
that we also have taught them what it
1:25:30
is to live a life of dignity, that
1:25:33
they're looking for purpose, they're looking for something
1:25:35
in life that's going to ignite a
1:25:37
passion in them, that they're going to love and
1:25:39
that they're gonna be able to contribute to society,
1:25:41
that they're not just going out there to make
1:25:43
a load of money. You will never see me
1:25:45
or any of my teachers at assembly talk about
1:25:48
the reason why you need to do well in
1:25:50
your exams is to get a good job. We
1:25:52
would never say that, ever. The reason
1:25:54
why you wanna do well in your jobs, sorry, the
1:25:56
reason why you wanna do well on your exams
1:25:58
is because you wanna be the... who
1:26:01
works hard for something and then gets the best that
1:26:03
you can get. That is what you want out of
1:26:05
life, right? You
1:26:07
know, not everybody is going to get the top score of a nine. What
1:26:09
you want is to get the best score that you can get. And
1:26:12
the only way you're going to know that
1:26:14
is if you've worked like hell to get
1:26:16
there. So our kids who are
1:26:18
getting the fours and fives, still
1:26:21
passing the sixes, but they're not getting the
1:26:23
nines, they don't feel bad
1:26:25
about themselves because they have purpose, because
1:26:27
they're on the same journey as the ones who
1:26:30
are cleverer than they are to be
1:26:32
the kind of person who is finding purpose
1:26:34
and who is going to have dignity. And
1:26:37
I think many years ago, you
1:26:39
know, I think of my Uncle Harold, this
1:26:42
is one of the training, for instance, that I do with
1:26:44
style. And
1:26:46
I showed them a picture of
1:26:48
my Uncle Harold. My Uncle Harold was from
1:26:50
the Caribbean, and he lived
1:26:53
in Detroit eventually. And
1:26:55
this is a wonderful photo of
1:26:57
him with this white hat and
1:26:59
this white suit, and he
1:27:01
looks so sharp. And it probably was taken in the
1:27:04
1940s. And I remember
1:27:06
Uncle Harold when he was very, very old. And
1:27:08
he used to give us, my sister and me, a
1:27:10
little quarter, you know. This is in the 80s.
1:27:12
He'd give us a quarter, and we would think,
1:27:15
oh, we've got a quarter, and it was just
1:27:17
so exciting. Just like our kids think we've got
1:27:19
cans of Coke, isn't it exciting? Because we weren't
1:27:21
given everything. My family, we
1:27:23
grew up, we didn't have loads. And
1:27:25
my mother worked night shifts as a
1:27:27
nurse. And my dad was a lecturer,
1:27:29
and he was always sponsoring family from
1:27:31
Guyana. My father came from Guyana. My
1:27:33
mother is Jamaican. And they would bring
1:27:36
family. And we always had family at
1:27:38
home finding them jobs at
1:27:40
McDonald's and so on, in
1:27:42
order, because my father wanted to help his
1:27:44
family come to a better country where they
1:27:46
would have a better life. And my Uncle
1:27:48
Harold, you know, you look at him in
1:27:50
that suit. And what I always say
1:27:52
to my teachers is, everybody goes on about how racist
1:27:54
everything is. Well, I can tell you in the 1940s,
1:27:57
it was pretty damn racist, right?
1:28:00
Life was hard for Uncle Harold, but I
1:28:02
never heard Uncle Howard complain. I never heard
1:28:04
him going on about racism. My Uncle Harold
1:28:06
got his head down and did what was
1:28:08
necessary for his family, just like my father
1:28:10
and my mother did. And I never heard
1:28:12
my dad and my mom ever complain about
1:28:14
racism, ever. They just work like hell, not
1:28:16
just for themselves and for me and my
1:28:19
sister, but they work like hell for their
1:28:21
families to be able to bring them to
1:28:23
Canada, because I grew up in Toronto and
1:28:25
Canada, and at 15 I came to Britain.
1:28:27
And you know, that small C conservatism
1:28:30
is just part of who I am.
1:28:32
And you know, it's funny, I was watching
1:28:34
this documentary about Clarence Thomas, and
1:28:37
he was saying how when he was in his early 20s, he
1:28:40
became this black radical and he was this
1:28:42
total leftist. And he really reminded me of
1:28:44
me because eventually he found his way back
1:28:46
to small C conservatism, because that
1:28:49
was instilled in him by his grandfather
1:28:51
when he was growing up. And
1:28:53
it was a very similar thing with me.
1:28:55
I became this black leftist, et cetera, became
1:28:57
this black, you know, I was this teacher.
1:28:59
And then eventually I just, it
1:29:02
all felt wrong to me. And then over a year.
1:29:04
Okay, so wait, so I'm gonna stop you there.
1:29:06
I'm gonna stop you there because well, this is
1:29:08
why. First we're out
1:29:10
of time on this side, but more importantly,
1:29:13
that's exactly what I wanna delve into on
1:29:16
the daily wire side. Yes, yes, I'm sorry, it's true.
1:29:18
I jumped. No, no, no, no, no, that's fine, no,
1:29:20
but that's a perfect, well, it's a perfect place to
1:29:22
stop. Paradise means
1:29:25
walled garden. Right,
1:29:27
yes. Right, right. And the
1:29:30
walls are there to make the
1:29:32
garden flourish. Exactly. Eden means
1:29:35
well-watered place. And that's what you have
1:29:37
at Michaela School. You have a walled
1:29:39
garden. That's right. And you're
1:29:41
watering the kids and that's working. And
1:29:44
so that's a lovely, that balance between
1:29:46
order and natural
1:29:49
flourishing. Right, that's paradise.
1:29:52
And I could see your kids participating in
1:29:54
that at Michaela School. So congratulations
1:29:57
on that. So for everybody watching
1:29:59
and listening, listening, we're going to switch to
1:30:01
the Daily Wire side now, and I'm going to
1:30:03
talk to Catherine in more
1:30:05
detail about, well, this transformation, let's
1:30:07
say, the one that she described
1:30:10
that also characterized Clarence Thomas, and
1:30:12
many people, because most people have
1:30:14
a leftist proclivity, let's say, when
1:30:16
they're young and foolish. Radical
1:30:20
leftist proclivity when they're young and foolish,
1:30:22
and full of undiscerning empathy, let's
1:30:25
put it that way. And so we'll
1:30:27
talk about that on the Daily Wire
1:30:29
side. And so join us there, and
1:30:31
thank you to everybody watching and listening
1:30:33
for your time and attention. And also
1:30:35
to you today, Catherine, for walking
1:30:38
us through Michaela's school and sharing the
1:30:40
thing that's so striking about listening to
1:30:43
you apart from the conceptual element is
1:30:45
that you are obviously thrilled with what
1:30:47
you're doing and to be part of
1:30:49
the lives of your children. And that's,
1:30:52
I could see that at the school, but I
1:30:54
can also hear it in every, well, in your
1:30:57
passion and your, what would
1:30:59
you say, your obvious pleasure in the specific
1:31:01
stories you tell about the kids and the
1:31:04
love that you have for them is, that's
1:31:06
the culture. Yeah. That
1:31:09
was really what got me when
1:31:12
I went to your school. Love. Because
1:31:14
I could see that and it's so rare
1:31:16
and so painful that it's rare because it
1:31:19
could be everywhere if people would take the
1:31:21
responsibility and open their eyes. And so...
1:31:24
But the thing is, the thing is,
1:31:26
I understand
1:31:28
why they don't know how to figure out what
1:31:31
to do, what we do, because
1:31:33
they're told so many things that are
1:31:35
the opposite to what we do. Yeah,
1:31:37
but you figured it out. I know, but... And
1:31:40
we're going to try to figure out why. And
1:31:42
so people can all join us on the Daily
1:31:44
Wire side to go into that. So thank
1:31:46
you very much, ma'am. And well,
1:31:49
thank you for having me. We'll meet again, no
1:31:51
doubt, in the UK. And thank you to
1:31:53
