You know, a big part of this is school.

Right.

You know, I think, you know, we homeschooled our kids and we did it.

But we were homeschooling them before COVID.

So before it was like popular and cool and everyone was doing it.

And it really allowed us to be present in our kids' lives and redeem those hours back from them, from what the school system, you delegate so much responsibility by shipping your kids off to school.

I know everyone can't homeschool their kids, and I know that we're very fortunate that we were able to, but the education system and what they're being taught, not just what they're being taught, but the way they're being taught, to me, is a travesty.

Um, I, I want to teach my kids when I hope I've instilled in them is, is not just like, Hey, learn these facts or memorize these things that you can pass this test.

It doesn't matter.

It's like, how do you learn?

How do you approach the process of learning?

That's what education actually is.

Right.

Critical thinking, like being curious and like arriving at your own conclusions rather than just having someone tell you, this is the way that this happened and therefore you have to believe it.

Right.

Like question everything.

Yeah.

And so that's one of the things I'm most proud of with my kids is that they do that.

They actually like look at the world with curiosity rather than like, oh, I know that this happened because I learned it in history class or whatever.

It's like, no, you learned one version of history that, by the way, is like riddled with propaganda.
