There was one book um the angel and the marble and it's a quote from um is it le
00:00:09
oh well anyway one of the great masters one of the great artists and he would he
00:00:13
said he would see a chunk of marble and he would say say I saw the angel in the marble and I I freed it basically and he
00:00:21
would >> you know bring out this beautiful piece of art and so that was kind of what I
00:00:28
was going for like who are they? And then when you add a little learning difficulty like dyslexia where you can't
00:00:35
read your own text, well then I had to be more involved. And I I loved reading to my kids. And so yeah, but then some
00:00:43
of the choices that I made were going to be based on can we do this together? Can
00:00:48
we do this hands-on? And and then my dad who who was an educator, he would say, "Don't worry about it. The Greeks and
00:00:56
Romans never taught their boys until they went through puberty. Like, wait until he's 14 and the brain starts
00:01:02
growing again. And so, you know, I had these influences that were telling me just to relax.
00:01:08
>> Yeah. >> And and that, you know, it helped because I was freaking out when my
00:01:13
fourth grader couldn't read. I was freaking out. And we had, you know, all these people for as as hippie- dippy as
00:01:21
Ohigh is, the homeschool group was not like that. The homeschool group was very much like teach them so they can get
00:01:28
into a good university. So the that's the the homeschool influence I had around me was very it was much more that
00:01:36
way in Ohigh than it was in Ventura.
