That was genuinely one of the best, well thought out and done, interviews I've ever seen regardless of the topis. I'm so glad I found this video+

I have a lot of my family worried about me homeschooling, and my kids not getting social interactions. I feel because they are home and in a safe place they will be able to be themselves and not be afraid to ask questions and in public schools they get made fun of or bullied that may interfere with their overall behavior and could withdrawal from being the person they want to be.

I've actually gotten better at math since homeschooling my son.
