10,430 PointsNested Routes not working
I can only get my routes to work non-nesting:
<Route path='teachers' element={<Teachers />} />
<Route path='teachers/:name/:course' element={<Featured />} />
If I try nesting in <Route> </Route> tags:
<Route path='teachers' element={<Teachers />}>
<Route index element={<Teachers />} />
<Route path=':name/:course' element={<Featured />} />
</Route>
and try navigating to http://localhost:3000/teachers/Jane/HTML I just get the generic teacher page. Is there something obvious I'm doing wrong?

Treehouse StaffHey Anne Whitman 👋
You're super close to getting this working! The only thing you'll want to adjust from your nested snippet is removing the element prop from the parent Route. This is currently overwriting the nested routes.
After removing the element={<Teachers />} everything should start working as shown in the video 😃
Hope this helps!

10,430 PointsThank you so much!! I tried comparing to the video, but i must have paused it a little too early before that was removed.
