Um attached to being a teacher.
Well, I think, you know, I tried to do school at home, um, like
you know, let's do the workbooks, let's um you know, I I I was a trained professional.
I could pull curriculum and put together lesson plans in my sleep.
And so I was trying to do that with my kids.
And I did invite some other people to come in for like some art classes and history classes and things like that so that my kids would have companions in the classroom.

control and compliance model where here I am the teacher, I'm presenting the knowledge that you need to know.
I'm going to teach you how to learn this knowledge.
And then you're gonna demonstrate in some way that you know that knowledge.
And I'm not gonna say I was a really traditional teacher before that.
Like, you know, if you wanted to demonstrate your knowledge
in some other way.
I remember um when I taught fifth grade we did a unit on US history and I I basically wrote down everything they had to demonstrate that they knew
from the unit and then they could come up with any way they wanted to do it.
And I I had some really wonderful, exciting projects.
I mean everything from a play to a video to you know, they did all kinds of things to demonstrate their knowledge.
So it wasn't like I was this rigid
Adhere to traditional linear sequential model type teacher anyway.
