typical2198.88 growth2199.28 goal.2199.52 We2200.16 had2200.32 some2200.56 superstars2200.8 who2201.36 went2201.68 well2201.92 above2202.16 and2202.56 then2202.72 some2202.96 who2203.2 didn't2203.36 quite2203.68 make2204 there.2204.16 But2204.32 the2204.88 point2205.04 is2205.2 that,2205.52 I2206.16 think2206.32 when2206.88 we2207.03 think2207.26 about2207.42 our2207.59 ML2207.9 students2208.22 and2208.55 student2208.78 groups2209.18 in2209.42 general,2209.59 they2210.55 have2210.78 a2211.11 little2211.18 bit2211.34 more2211.51 catching2211.74 up,2212.07 shall2212.3 we2212.46 say,2212.63 to2212.86 do2212.94 to2213.11 get2213.18 to2213.42 the2213.51 grade2213.59 level2213.82 standards2214.07 and2214.46 the2214.55 grade2214.7 level2214.94 expectations.2215.26 So,2216.3 really2216.46 thinking2216.7 about2217.03 that2217.26 stretch2217.51 goal2217.74 because2218.07 that2218.3 is2218.55 where2218.78 we2219.03 want2219.18 them2219.42 to2219.59 be2219.74 in2219.9 order2220.14 to2220.39 make2220.55 more2220.78 than2220.94 typical2221.11 growth.2221.51 So,2222.68 I2223.24 shifted2223.48 that2223.8 a2224.04 little2224.12 bit2224.2 in2224.44 terms2224.6 of2224.84 really2225.08 focusing2225.4 on2225.72 growth,2225.88 not2226.28 just2226.44 for2226.68 the2226.84 ML2227 students,2227.4 but2227.64 certainly2228.44 reporting2228.76 back2229.16 out2229.32 as2229.64 the2229.88
