You know what I mean? Like what makes a good student? How do we evaluate students? How do we evaluate what's a good employee, right? From my end, from a staffing perspective, what are the things that humans, the human traits and skills that we think are valuable on the market? I feel like there's all these big questions that we can ask now and should be asking about the future of things.
how from your perspective and being in this for 25 years have there been a lot of moments like that over time do you feel like this is one of them to sort of re-evaluate methods of evaluation that we use in in schools and work places oh no
the evaluations haven't changed at all um if you want and i'm just going to give you an example from new york state It is now a law in New York State that if you think your kid is dyslexic, they get a proper evaluation.
What you do is you have your school, your teachers write up some things.
Go to your pediatrician, not a nurse practitioner, not a physician's assistant, not a resident.
Literally, you have to go to the attending, give them that, have the attending do the evaluation.
And then have them write that they need this, that they think there's practicality there.
And then if the insurance company still don't pay you, go to New York State and they'll force them to.
So what is a neuropsychological evaluation? It's a PhD is required, then a lot of additional training.
You are literally hiring them for almost a week because the testing is normally two full days and then they got to write it up.
