It's really hard to be a parent. Um, not
00:00:01
going to lie. Like you're kind of like
00:00:03
thrown into this thing that you don't
00:00:05
really know that much about, right? And
00:00:06
you're like, there go like like there's
00:00:09
no classes. I mean, some people take
00:00:11
classes but and read books, but a lot of
00:00:13
people don't, right? And so it's just
00:00:14

parents did
00:00:17

00:00:19
>> Right. And not to say that I think
00:00:20
public school is always like the best uh
00:00:23
place for every child, but um the things
00:00:26
that I really like about it for my kids
00:00:28
are that there are opportunities that I
00:00:30
can't provide for them. Like things that
00:00:32
I don't know about or things that I, you
00:00:34
know, can't get them in in a normal
00:00:38
setting. Like my son loves sports and
00:00:40
and I I didn't get really get to do
00:00:42
sports as a kid. There were, you know,
00:00:44
city leagues and stuff, but that's his
00:00:46
thing. He loves it. It's his dream to
00:00:49
be, you know, and he's really good at
00:00:51
it. And as a result of being in school,
00:00:53
he's been able to pursue, you know,
00:00:55
whatever sport he wanted to do, which is
00:00:57
something that I would have had a hard
00:00:58
time providing for
