I was pulled out of school right around third grade, um because my parents were really, really dissatisfied with the
00:00:05
kind of the condition of of the public school system. My mom talks about how, you
00:00:12
know, I was coming home. At first I was excited to learn, and then I was coming home bored. I couldn't tell her what I
00:00:16
was doing in class. And, you know, as a parent and actually with an education background herself, that was
00:00:22
I think really, really difficult for her to see because um as a parent myself now, that's
00:00:27
terrible. When you see that your kids um you know, are disinterested and bored, and you want to fix that.
