00:00:00
There was one book um the angel and the
00:00:02
marble and it's a quote from um is it le
00:00:09
oh well anyway one of the great masters
00:00:11
one of the great artists and he would he
00:00:13
said he would see a chunk of marble and
00:00:15
he would say say I saw the angel in the
00:00:18
marble and I I freed it basically and he
00:00:21
would
00:00:22
>> you know bring out this beautiful piece
00:00:24
of art and so that was kind of what I
00:00:28
was going for like who are they? And
00:00:31
then when you add a little learning
00:00:33
difficulty like dyslexia where you can't
00:00:35
read your own text, well then I had to
00:00:38
be more involved. And I I loved reading
00:00:40
to my kids. And so yeah, but then some
00:00:43
of the choices that I made were going to
00:00:46
be based on can we do this together? Can
00:00:48
we do this hands-on? And and then my dad
00:00:51
who who was an educator, he would say,
00:00:54
"Don't worry about it. The Greeks and
00:00:56
Romans never taught their boys until
00:00:58
they went through puberty. Like, wait
00:01:00
until he's 14 and the brain starts
00:01:02
growing again. And so, you know, I had
00:01:05
these influences that were telling me
00:01:07
just to relax.
00:01:08
>> Yeah.
00:01:09
>> And and that, you know, it helped
00:01:11
because I was freaking out when my
00:01:13
fourth grader couldn't read. I was
00:01:15
freaking out. And we had, you know, all
00:01:17
these people for as as hippie- dippy as
00:01:21
Ohigh is, the homeschool group was not
00:01:24
like that. The homeschool group was very
00:01:26
much like teach them so they can get
00:01:28
into a good university. So the that's
00:01:31
the the homeschool influence I had
00:01:33
around me was very it was much more that
00:01:36
way in Ohigh than it was in Ventura.
