You know, when my son was a junior and a senior, he was taking calculus courses and he knows more about math than I do.
He's probably forgot more about analytics than I know now because it's something that he has a hobby with.
He does his own podcast and he does analytics, breaks down in sports and this kind of stuff.
And so this is an example where kids, when they have their certain things that they love and they find their niche in the world, Part of homeschooling and our private schooling says, how do you get them a greater education than you can provide? And that's where some of these calculus and these physics teachers have come in.
And so we early on, as our kids got older, made a decision to say, how do we transition them to life? And before they're eight years old, I like to homeschool them for sure, because I believe they should be with mom and dad learning primarily moral discussions.
But when they get a little bit older and especially as they get past, say, 12 and 13 and 14, in my personal view, it's wise for them to get out into society and learn from other people, have some rejection a little bit from other people, have some constructive criticism, have some outside support of the values that we've taught them.
