But really, the teachers that I talk to that have left the profession aren't so much leaving it over pay, they're leaving it over discipline issues. Those classroom environments are a better, safer place for learning. I think someone down there said I want a $1,400 increase to the basic allotment. Do you guys understand how much that costs? $800 million for a $100 increase to the basic allotment.

That's a lot. Thank you very much. Well, first of all, let me start by saying, that's not serious. That's not serious. My daughter was a DIS teacher for three years. When dad has to help her with her rent, that's a problem.

She never told me about the kids that were acting up in class. She only told me about dad. I can't keep doing this. I can tell your values by which you fund. When you begin to value your teachers, you will pay them. And as long as you don't value your teachers, you

won't. Period. It's just that simple. This isn't that complicated. 27 billion, as a matter of fact, is what I was just looking for. 27 million, according to this number, which you asked my model.

But really simple. This is just that. They must be a priority. Yes, ma'am. I'm sorry.
