00:00:00.000 When my kids come to me with a report card, I don't look.

00:00:02.720 I don't need to see what somebody else created as a test

00:00:05.500 to quantify if you know how to memorize things.

00:00:09.000 The skill of being successful is not memorization.

00:00:12.300 It's a game of character development.

00:00:13.820 The only thing I ask my school

00:00:15.280 is to make sure my kids can read, write, and do basic math.

00:00:18.440 Everything else, it's on me.

00:00:20.040 I will take care of the character development.

00:00:21.540 I will encourage them to take risks in safe ways.

00:00:24.800 I will celebrate their failures.

00:00:27.040 You know, every night when they go to bed,

00:00:28.220 I ask them, what did you fail at today?

00:00:29.340 I'd rather teach them the principles around life.

00:00:32.220 That's worth more than straight fucking A's.
