This segment is a part of what went missing form the Full episode 142 when a power outage hit during the live broadcast.:
I was sitting nearby and watching my kids participate when I overheard a conversation of a dad with someone else. He was complaining that it's only been a week and already he can't wait for the kids to go back. "We have to find summer camps quick. I don't think we can have them home all the time."
Sad, and yet EXACTLY what's wrong with our society and our public education system.
Fathers, YOU lead your house.
If your child is becoming the kind of person you can't stand to be around. That's on you.
If a business owner complains about employees without doing anything to address his complaints about his own company. It's no one's fault but his. Steer and Lead better.
Don't know how? That's not an excuse it's an observation. Now set to addressing it. Learn, Adapt, Build better. You OWE it to the ones you're leading to be the leader they can follow.
This, "It's only been a week and I can't wait to send him back." statement says more about your, your lack of leadership skills, your lack of patience, your lack of understanding, and your lack of ex*****on than it does about the child. The child is a child. It's your duty to raise your boy to be a man, your daughters to be women, and your children to be adults.
It seems parents don't want to be parents, and those who do...are being bullied by the system, frivolous lawsuits, and just downright adult bullying.
We are in need of a massive awakening of parents everywhere to realize that YOU ARE THE PARENT. The children are yours to raise, and
THE WORLD IS YOUR CLASSROOM.

The FEA recently launched a lawsuit to attack the School Choice movement, and specifically the funding options available in the state that meet the needs of the people of the State of Florida. They've taken aim at Charter Schools, Private Schools, and Students with Disabilities who have parents choosing Home Education to customize their learning experience.
Apparently, they believe the ONLY gig in town should be THEIR gig. They don't think PARENTS KNOW BEST.
They believe that UNIONS KNOW BEST.
And they've gone to great lengths to misquote the Constitution to make everyone believe it only supports public school funding, when in fact it supports ALL, "other public education programs that the needs of the people may require."
Well, we do NOT agree with the Unions, but we DO AGREE WITH ARTICLE IX OF THE FLORIDA CONSTITUTION.
We're going to show up to this press conference, and we invite you to join us!
We know it's late notice, but it matters.
YOU, THE PARENT, MATTER.
YOUR KIDS MATTER.
EDUCATION OPTIONS MATTER.
WHAT: Press Conference for Parents' Rights and School Choice
WHEN: 11:30am
WHERE: Tallahassee, Old Capitol steps on Monroe St side
WHO: YOU.

Sharing a message from our friends at Step Up For Students. They've alerted us that there are quite a number of families who have yet to complete the required test scores submissions that go with their renewals. They're not sure if people are seeing their communications, emails, etc.
Just an important reminder that if you are a FTC-PEP recipient and plan to renew, this is required for that renewal.
