School Catalogue

#1

Hi! I have a problem with this exercise!
Link: https://www.codecademy.com/courses/introduction-to-javascript/projects/school-catalog
When i call quickFacts() the result is :undefined educates undefined students at the undefined school level.
But i don’t understand why!
Can we help me?
Thank’s.
This is the code:

class School{
  constructor(name, level, numberOfStudents){
    this._name = name
    this._level = level
    this._numberOfStudents = numberOfStudents
  }
  //get
  get name(){
    return this._name
  }
  get level(){
    return this._level
  }
  get numberOfStudents(){
    return this._numberOfStudents
  }
  //set
  set numberOfStudents(numberOfStudents){
    if (typeof numberOfStudents === 'num'){
      this._numberOfStudents = numberOfStudents
    } else {console.log('Invalid input: numberOfStudents must be set to a Number.')}
  }
  //static
 static quickFacts(){
     console.log(`${this._name} educates ${this._numberOfStudents} students at the ${this._level} school level.`);
  }
  static pickSubstituteTeacher(substituteTeachers){
   const randomNumber = Math.floor(Math.random()*substituteTeachers.length-1);
    return substituteTeachers[randomNumber] 
  }
};//end

///Primary
class Primary extends School{
  constructor(name, level, numberOfStudents, pickupPolicy){
    super(name, level, numberOfStudents)
    this._pickupPolicy = pickupPolicy
  }
  get pickupPolicy(){
    return this._pickupPolicy
  }
};
///Middle
class Middle extends School{
  constructor(name, level, numberOfStudents){
    super(name, level, numberOfStudents)
  }
};
///High
class High extends School{
  constructor(name, level, numberOfStudents, sportsTeams){
    super(name, level, numberOfStudents)
    this._sportsTeams = sportsTeams
  }
  get sportsTeams(){
    return this. _sportsTeams
  }
};

const lorraineHansbury = new Primary('Lorraine Hansbury', 'primary', 514, 'Students must be picked up by a parent, guardian, or a family member over the age of 13.');
console.log(lorraineHansbury._name)
Primary.quickFacts()
School.pickSubstituteTeacher(['Jamal Crawford', 'Lou Williams', 'J. R. Smith', 'James Harden', 'Jason Terry', 'Manu Ginobli']);

const alSmith = new High('Al E. Smith', 'high', 415, ['Baseball', 'Basketball', 'Volleyball', 'Track and Field']);
console.log(alSmith._sportsTeams)

you should call the quickFacts method on the instance of your primary school (lorraineHansbury), not on the class itself.

the class instance (lorraineHansbury) set the instance variables through the constructor.

Thx for the reply.
When i call with: “lorraineHansbury.quickFacts()” the problem is: “TypeError: lorraineHansbury.quickFacts is not a function”
I found the solution:
I remove from “static quickFacts()” the static method and it work, but why?
EDIT
Ok i found.
The exercise say: " Methods : .quickFacts() and .pickSubstituteTeacher() (this is a static method)"
But only the last one is a static method.
