Thank you so much for allowing us to come and join your group.
Thank you. Welcome.
We're rookies.
You're in the right place because we're committed
to our children's education and personal growth
and development.
I think so many more parents are kind of getting
on the bandwagon of homeschooling
because private schools are more academic-centered
and not child-centered.
And there are homeschooling learning centers now.
Ours doesn't start until 10:30, which is again, less stress.
Actually, though, that's one of the reasons
Rodney is a little hesitant.
Life doesn't start at 10:30, 11:00 as they get older.
When they go to college or they go anywhere else--
a job?
They're not going to be able to say,
OK, I want to start at 10:30 or I need to starting at 11:00.
We have boys that need structure and schedule,
and so he's always worried that they're going to sleep in,
or they're not going to get used to--
Well, they will if you let them.
What I love about homeschooling is
you have the freedom to do it the way that you want
and what's best for your family.
You're the principal.
- You're the principal. - You're the teacher.
You're the dean.
Principal Pete.
Because the big takeaway is the understanding
that if your kid comes to this-- wherever you decide to go--
on Monday and they're teaching them math,
and by Wednesday they got it, in a regular school
you have to stay with the rest of the group.
But then the flip side is, if your kid is the one on Monday
day they start and they don't get it by Friday,
you can stay on it for however long
they need until they get it.
Well, you know, Ryan, that's exactly
where we are with Roman.
The academic stuff was just leaving him in the dust.
He's the Friday kid and Robinson's the Tuesday kid.
Robinson is a very gifted natural athlete,
and we feel like we need to make his--
Like, if he was an Olympian, you kind of
need to move him towards that.
He's that Tuesday kid, but there are
some subjects that he's not.
That's what homeschooling does, that you could
set a schedule now and go, OK.
I know he doesn't need help in English because he's got that,
so he'll do that one day a week.
And then the other days we'll focus on math, social studies,
or whatever the other thing is.
[INAUDIBLE]
I like that, actually, yeah.
I think that the stereotype about homeschooling is that
there's only one way to do it, there is lack of discipline,
there is lack of activities-- all those things
were disproven in that meeting.
