[00:02:32] Think I may get back to that.

[00:02:33] Another favorite on the list was chamomile tea.

[00:03:57] My positive news story comes from Jamaica.

[00:04:01] Old Harbor High School known as the School of Twins

[00:04:04] only requires parents to cover the cost of one child's tuition

[00:04:07] if they have twins or two children if they have triplets.

[00:04:12] Principal Weir said he just allows parents to pay for one of the school fees.

[00:04:17] Weir said that the school had altered policies to account for having 30 sets of twins.

[00:04:23] Principal Linton Weir's thoughtful approach reflects the heart of learning

[00:04:26] proving that at this school of twins unity and education is celebrated.

[00:04:32] You imagine going to the school of twins.

[00:04:35] Imagine having, well they would have to wear name tags

[00:04:37] because how can you tell them apart?

[00:04:40] And it's pretty rude to call someone else's name too

[00:04:43] but that would be such an interesting, I would love to be a fly on the wall

[00:04:46] or even a substitute at that school.

[00:04:49] But good for him for implementing that.
