What should we consider when choosing between homeschooling and public school?
I'm trying to figure out how my wife and I can agree on whether or not to homeschool our son. He's two right now, and the reason we're talking about this is because it will determine whether he goes to preschool or not.
We can talk about the merits and all that of homeschooling versus public school and private school. We can talk about all that, but... What in the world is going on? This is John with the Dr. John Deloney Show. man, I hope you're doing well. Talking about your relationships, your mental and emotional health. I hope, I hope you're doing well. And on this show, here's the deal. Um, I hope you're doing well, but I know for many of us, just a tough season, man. And things are hard and things are up and they're down. And that's what this show is about. Sitting with people, trying to figure out what's the next right move. Um, I would love to have you on this show. So if you want to join us, man, give me a buzz at 1-844-693-3291 or go to johndeloney.com slash ask.
And I feel like I got to shout it out. There's this rad dude who came out in the lobby. It may be four degrees outside. It's February when we're recording this show. And he is just straight up like a gangster wearing cargo pants. Shorts. Cargo shorts the way Limp Bizkit designed them. Well done, my brother. Well done. There's another guy here dressed respectable, like with a button-up shirt, like he has a job and everything. But homies got straight-up rocking cargos. And, dude, man after my own heart, I got some new origin pants that are like four sizes too big, and I feel like I'm back in high school again. And everything in the world is right, except for the way Kelly looks at me with disdain.
All right, let's go out to Manchester and talk to Ben. What's up, Ben? Hey, John. How are you? Dude, I'm doing great, brother.
How are you, man? Good. I want you to know that you do have friends in New Hampshire, and I am one of them.
Dude, I've got one in New Hampshire. That's fantastic. I used to teach high school geography, and I don't know that I could point out New Hampshire on the map. That's embarrassing, Kelly. See, she goes with her judgy face. I know it's up there. I know it's up that-a-way.
Yes. Yep, it is. And I also wanted to say thank you. I know you get a lot of generalized thank yous, but I want to thank you specifically for the Carlos Whitaker interview and for telling people that holding your newborn may be different than the way people say it should feel. And my wife and I now have a joke that I've loved my son since the moment I knew he existed, but I didn't like him until he was about six months old.
Yes. And you will probably not like him from the ages of two to five. And then when he turns 14, like mine is, I'm already counting down the days. I'm already pretty sad that he's going to leave me in three years. So it's awesome. It's amazing. It's awesome. Good for you, brother. Thanks. Thank you so much, man. I'm glad that you're with us, dude. So what's up? How can I help today? Yes.
So basically I'm trying to figure out how my wife and I can agree on, on whether or not to homeschool our son he's two right now and the reason we're talking about this is because it will determine whether he goes to preschool or not why is that Um, because we figure do, if he's going to be homeschooled, then we'll just keep him at home right now. I work from home and take care of him throughout the day. So he's already at home. We don't do daycare or anything like that. So if he was going to public school, we'd put them in preschool next year.
Okay. We'll talk, we can talk about the merits and all that of, of homeschooling versus public school and private school. We can talk about all that. And I love that conversation. It's one of my favorite things, but. for you and all new parents like the way you and i grew up which is you go to one school and then you just go to the feeder middle school and you go to the feeder high school that world is over now yeah and so i want you to feel free to make a decision a year at a time okay sometimes even a semester at a time Um, it's just kind of a mess out there. It's the wild West right now.
