015only change I see is just changing it from a capital A to a small A is that correct >> no sir and then >> well I see now on the back page age as >> public school and public school. I see that. >> Yes, sir. >> All right. Well, then that's good. But I I I I got a question about the at home instruction. >> Okay. >> Because it is if you took that phrase at home instruction. I would like I and I know it had before a capital at capital home and capital instruction and we taking the capital A off and making it at home instruction. Then if you put it by itself, it would be a at home instruction with a little A on the at. >> Okay. I I'm and I I
016don't know the answer. I'm just saying it sticks out to me. If y'all got any comments, um I would think if you ask me, I'd say leave the at home with a capital A. Um but I'm certainly open to you know what I'm not a grammar I'm not English teacher or grammar expert, but because I'm thinking at home instruction. Dr. Tull, you see what I'm talking about? >> Ask chat GBT. >> What's that, Mike? GPG. >> He could. >> I >> Well, I'm just giving y'all the basis of my >> The basis of my argument is what we're talking about is at home instruction, right? >> And you wouldn't say at home instruction with a little a t and then a capital H and a capital I. So, I say at ought to be in
017capitalized. >> Yes, sir. I usually defer to Miss uh Murdo uh other English teacher when it comes to stuff like this, but I think you're right. Um I think it should be capital A and then we also hyphenate the word as well. >> Yeah. And I would be in agreement with that too. I think that's even even a little better with English. So you're doing good, doctor. >> Thank you, sir. I appreciate you. >> That's why you made the that's why you make the big bucks. See, that's what I'm told. >> And that's what it was because it wasn't hyphenated. Check. >> I agree. and and I and I totally can understand um based on our policy review and what we've been doing, we've been taking a lot of those words of the capitals and
018making them smaller case and in in all senses, but this this one in particular just caught my attention because I'm thinking of at home instruction as one phrase and therefore that's why I thought it should stay capitalized. >> Okay. >> But I'm I'm good with putting a hyphen between at and home and I think that that would do it. That would take care of it. All right. Thank you, ma'am. Anybody have any questions? Any other comments? >> No, professor. All right. All right.
