My name is Marty McFarland.
I work for Wee Know Schools.
I get subcontracted out to different facilities, like Saint Charles Catholic School.
Helping students get past emotional issues, I think, is just as important as academic issues.
Because if a student is worried that when they go home their parents aren't going
to be there, they're not ready to learn.
If a student is worried that mom is so agitated at her job that all she does is scream at home
or that dad is not going to be there, they're not --
they don't care about their homework at that point.
If you're worried about where your meal -- - next meal is going to be, who cares about math?
So it comes out of that.
That's my drive.
