00:00:22
ever be taught inside of the course. And I know for me that was something that was kind of easy to adjust to because
00:00:28
during homeschooling in high school I was responsible for most of my teaching of myself. You know, I read my lessons,
00:00:35
I did my homework, I protoed my own exams. You know, like just stuff that we take for granted in being old
