Chapter 1: What are the homeschooling teacher scandals?
Nobody's listening, right?
Hi, Andy.
Hello.
I'm so excited to talk to you for an hour like no one's listening.
Yeah.
Is anyone out there listening?
Yeah, this is from Lola over on Apple. Need your thoughts.
Okay.
Firstly, my opinion is that your show's the best.

Chapter 2: What happened with the New Jersey drones?
If they're from a long line of teachers, though, is it grandma or grandpa?
Oh, yeah, maybe. Maybe that's it.
So they, like, pass it along.
Yeah.
Once one retires, the other generation can start working as a teacher.
Here are a couple things I'll say. It's a complicated thing. And to each their own, no judgment. Sure. I guess if you're a teacher and you come from a long line of teachers and you think, I can teach my kid better than what's being offered, the offerings, if you will, but... And we're really lucky we have access to great public schools. I think that that's maybe not the case for everyone.
I would be really nervous sending my kid to a public school in a place where... The same can't be said for all of Los Angeles.
We just happen to be lucky. We know other people that have had horrible experiences in the L.A. school system, right?
Yeah, and we also know people who have had horrible experiences in private school systems.

Chapter 4: Are some of A & E’s acquaintances actually aliens?

Yeah, and we also know people who have had horrible experiences in private school systems.
Sure, yeah.
I have such complicated thoughts about this. Can I start at like base one?
First base?
First base. Mm-hmm. Is I think that public school, like a society supporting their public school system across the board and having consistency. Sure. in public schools and kind of is like the very basis of a democracy. And it's something and again, I'm just this is just my thoughts. I'm not trying to make anyone feel guilty or judgment like you do what is best for you.
But there are a lot of people I know who are very politically active and very democratic. And and yet they it's the one kind of blind spot they have where they don't send their kids to public school. Yeah. And I think we're in a society where all children have access to the same education, ideally have access to nutritious food there.

Chapter 5: What was memorable about the child's Christmas performance?
Chapter 6: What did Andy experience at the post office?
Right.
That's one thing. But I always get a little hesitant when I think about... kids who are homeschooled because it is a loophole for some parents to be neglectful. We know someone who was quote unquote homeschooled and literally was never
Oh, sure. Yeah. In some ways, there's extreme versions where it's like, yeah, they're not schooled at all.
There's neglect. There's abuse happening. And there's no checks and balances with a school where there are teachers keeping tabs on kids and what's happening. The kids are learning certain things. I mean, this is happening now, unfortunately, in regular schools where like...
You know, books are being banned and kids are only learning specific religious things that aren't real or, you know, I don't know. Yeah. Which I wonder if that could be the case with these teachers. Exactly.
I was just going to say, like, maybe they're some weird religion and they don't want their kids to learn about stuff that they shouldn't learn about.
Right. Now, having said all of that, the kids I knew who were homeschooled. who came to our high school later, and actually one of my best friend's kids were homeschooled, they're always so smart. When it's done well, I feel like their intelligence is so ahead of the game.
What about style, though?
Great style, but I think that there can be some social stuff that they're going to have to play catch up on.

Chapter 7: How does Box City compare to Costco and Target?
And so that's another thing that's like, what are you learning in school that's beyond just algebra and Spanish, you know? So there was something else I was going to say, you know, in France.
Yeah.
It's basically illegal to homeschool your kids.
It's incredibly hard. Right.
So.
And they take a lot of, we've learned, a lot of pride in their, would you call it universal? Yeah, education system. Like they just take so much more pride than we do in ours. And ours is a state-based system as well, which makes it more difficult.
Exactly. Yeah. The other thing, unfortunately, that I was thinking is if I were a teacher and I have to go to school every day being worried that a gunman is going to come in and shoot up the school, does that fear like cause me to keep my kids home?
Oh, I don't think that's coming into play for this.
You don't?
