One participant made the extraeffort to research difficult concepts on YouTube and sending messages back and forth with theteacher electronically. They said, Yeah. I have YouTubed it before. You can't always find it, but then you can YouTube it, and they'll explain to you – that's on the phone. So sometimes, I've even sent a message to the teacher at 10:00 at night, and she responded right back. Mm-hmm.
