the end all we all know that. i've been putting schools in the public schools since 1998 we have thousands of folks in san francisco they get 4 hours a month paid off for volunteerism we want them to come and do the work in the schools. we have to remember this is about one thing our children. the most important resource in san francisco. when we think about our children we need to remember our children need a great education which is why we invest our children need great health that's why we're building our benny hospital as well and make sure our children are off the streets and have great homes that's a super
