I don t care if my kids can't read, write, or basic math, I care more that they ask the person their name. I don't care if they can't memorize the Egyptian gods. I care that they are kind, resourceful, creative, and creative.

00:00:00.000 I don't care about my kids' school grade.
00:00:01.760 Are they kind?
00:00:02.660 Are they resourceful?
00:00:03.640 Are they creative?
00:00:04.680 I didn't create the test.
00:00:05.820 I don't even know what it's supposed to test.
00:00:07.380 I don't know if I agree with the test.
00:00:08.940 I don't know how they were taught.
00:00:10.460 I don't know the qualifications of the teacher.
00:00:12.420 I've just gotten to the place
00:00:13.620 that all I've ever asked a school to do
00:00:15.440 is teach them to read, write, and basic math.
00:00:18.780 My belief is all kids are homeschooled.
00:00:20.680 It's whether the parents realize it or not.
00:00:22.800 And when a kid doesn't do well in school,
00:00:25.020 there's probably other factors
00:00:26.580 that personally I'm gonna take accountability to
00:00:29.360 as a parent. I just don't care if they can't memorize the Egyptian gods. I care more that
00:00:33.860 they ask the person their name. Like if you met my kids, they would come up to you, shake you in
00:00:37.780 hand, say, I'm Max or Noah. What's your name? What a crazy idea. So I don't care what some
00:00:41.860 test that somebody else created about my kids winning or not when I look at them and who they
00:00:46.240 are from a character point.
