I wouldn't want anybody to feel bad. I think parents are always feeling bad. You put your kid in public
00:00:06
school, you hear about homeschooling, you feel bad, you feel guilty. Maybe that's what I should be doing. You take
00:00:11
your kid out of school, you homeschool them, and you think, "Wow, maybe they're
00:00:15
missing out. Maybe they should be in public school." It's you you have to do
00:00:20
what you feel is right for your kids. And as parents, we're not always going
00:00:24
to get it right. We're going to screw some things up. That's just part of the
00:00:28
job. It's part of the job description.
