and digitizeing it what it is taking it and gives them the support. kids who are bored, kids who are disengaged are not going to learn. but there's nothing about technology that's magical. that's why our curriculum which is nothing like anybody's seen is the most exciting. >> in los angeles, joel why do you think it didn't work there? >> los angeles is a city on the move doing big things with education. sometimes, you do a big thing and you have to hit the pause button. not everything works exactly as it's supposed to work. i think they hit the pause button. but i want to make one thing clear what we're doing is about crick column. curriculum. you should ask, this child is moving slowly.

about technology is a misbelief. >> there's a study out that if you read something on a device you're less likely to remember it than reading a book. how do you know students are getting what they're retaininging? >> very simple. you give them quick assessments. one of the things we've done we found when they read they retain less. we took this guy chad boldsman who starred in james brown and jackie robinson. he did a reading of the first chapter of douglas. it changed their attention dramatically. you have to use this in a way that engages kids. if you simply put them in front of a tablet in front of a computer, it's not going to work. the hype is not helpful. thoughtful work has to take place. >> you said exhilaration is the dominant force in me now. this is what exhilaration looks
