I really could, like, walk into a Grocery Store and probably i really could like walk into a Grocery Store and probably finde five in a single like outing to walmart, so is very rich with students who had lived that experience and from various perspectives. At i reall the thing i realize when i i started interviewing was that there are so made different perspective there can ever thought about what life might look like for a kid who was five when the schools closed, so when i met those students i thought i should passed a wider net.
