I’ve now created a narrative where you were the state champion, and were paraded round the school like a jock, for nothing is more important in life than being The State Champion.

I hate to use the phrase β€œtwo tier” because it’s the most overused phrase recently; but does this mean they’ll be POCUS people with the right FUSIC cert and POCUS people via DOPSing, and how will they interact?
