That was something that stuck out to me
00:00:01
as I was being homeschooled. Actually, I
00:00:02
felt like there were some parents that
00:00:04
were like trying so hard to recreate the
00:00:07
public school experience
00:00:09
to the point where I'm like, why are you
00:00:11
doing this,
00:00:13
>> you know? Yeah.
00:00:13
>> Like, why why did you choose to
00:00:15
homeschool if you're like trying to make
00:00:16
this exactly like that? I don't I don't
00:00:18
get it. as someone who had parents who
00:00:21
served on the board of our group,
00:00:25
it's been interesting to kind of dissect
00:00:28
with them like why were things done a
00:00:31
certain way, right? It's like we didn't
00:00:33
allow like if you um did charter school,
00:00:36
charter school kids were not allowed in
00:00:38
our group.
00:00:39
>> Um and there and part of it is there's
00:00:42
people who had very strong stances on
00:00:43
that, right? And then it's like, okay.
00:00:45
And and I get it.
