And so I think for parents, like taking some agency back and actually want like if someone's going to indoctrinate my kids, it's going to be me.
Right?
Like I'm not going to delegate that to somebody else.
Right.
Yeah.
So I think something's got to give.
I don't think it's sustainable.
And I think homeschooling is a big part of it.
But I think just present parenting and taking that responsibility seriously.
If you're going to bring humans into this world, at least take the time and energy to invest in their upbringing.
It's really that simple.
Yeah, that's a cool model.
I mean, we had something similar in that we had different classes that they would go to or we would use some of the time for instead of PE, it's like go to soccer or go to skating or whatever.
So there's definitely ways to do it.
I know the socialization FUD around homeschooling is prevalent.
I'm like, are you worried your kid's gonna be a weirdo?
I'm like, no, not really, because they're hanging out with me still.
I don't think I'm a weirdo.
If you've met my kids, you know that the FUD is ridiculous, because they're gonna look you in the eye, they're gonna shake your hand, because I taught them to do that.
you know when they when we sat down in a restaurant it's like you're not on your phones there's no screens at the table um they're like the least weird kids ever they're gonna look at the the server in the eye and they're gonna order their food i'm not gonna order it for them until they turn 18 right like i'm teaching them actually how to be a human i'm preparing them for real life and so yeah thank you yeah it's a rarity these days
