Mine was called Communications Arts High School.

I was still able to play sports at the assigned government-run institution.

They were actually on the same physical campus.

And I was able to see a night and day difference.

Even one of my classes had to be, because the school was so small, the magnet, at the big behemoth factory model school.

In ninth grade, I went and did a math class over there.

And I could see walking through the halls that you look into the classrooms, it was just total chaos and disruption, even back then.

I know it's gotten worse now.

There's so much of this restorative justice policies going on where teachers don't feel like they can discipline any of the kids.

And, you know, if people don't actually want to be there, it's hard to kind of, you know, rally the troops and get everybody to focus each day.

And if you're not doing a good job, it's really, really bad, really hard to get people to focus on you.

And I just saw that, you know, there was this night and day difference or fights on the government run school campus in my middle school.

I had a friend who tried to teach me how to walk the right way because I didn't walk with a limp.

And I still talk to this guy this day.

We took different paths, but it just goes to show you like people tell you you can't homeschool because of socialization.

Well, there is some bad socialization going on in the government-run institutions.

People in my middle school used to go get beat up in the restroom.

They called it getting rolled into the gang.

If you wanted to be in the Bloods or the Crips, you wore blue or red.

And the way to do that, the initiation tactic was to go get beat up in the bathroom.
