Is that true, or how true can that be? I mean, do you have any thoughts on that?

Yeah, well, like any highly diverse, decentralized school sector, it's very difficult to generalize, and sometimes the headlines in the media aren't very closely associated with the reality of these types of schools.

So I would say this.

In my sample, where I have roughly about 500 students spread across 40 different micro schools, on average, if you look at measures of family income or measures of socioeconomic status, it does seem to be the case that micro school students or families are a are a little bit more affluent than what you would find on average, if you were to compare them to say the, the, the public education system.

But, but I don't think these are just for, for, for the affluent because in the sample, there's definitely plenty of low income families, plenty, plenty, a fair proportion of families in the sample who come from a single parent household or who come from families where The highest level of education is a high school level of education.

So I'll give you an example of this.

At least 10% of the families in my sample, they had the highest level of education was a high school degree or less.

will people really buy into this form of instruction?
