We think this is just a normal sort of teenage behavior.

That's not what this is.

Hey guys, welcome to the Five Minute Fatherhood podcast.

I'm your co-host, Jeff Bethke, along with my friend and mentor, Jeremy Pryor.

Join us Monday through Friday as we chat about quick tips, skills, and ways to help equip you on your journey as a father to build your

multi-generational family team on mission. Stay tuned.

What's up guys, Jeff and Jeremy here? A fun question, controversial question. I don't know.

We'll let you guys decide. But that is our school's bad for family teams. Now, of course, that could mean homeschool, public school, et cetera. But I'm guessing we're thinking maybe more in the traditional American institution, which would be more of a public or private school way. And so I'm interested to hear your thoughts, Jeremy. I'm actually going to give a couple of thoughts and even talk about homeschool for a second. I think I know what you're saying. I think is actually really, really, that's the center. And I think that's what we

want to talk on because that is so critical. One thing I'll say, though, is our school's bad for family

teams. I think every model has an inherent, what would I say, a kind of pothole or pit you can fall into, right? And I'll just, I think the one,

homeschool one, which is more in the lane that we're running in, is you can sometimes,

you sometimes can see homeschool families no longer training and building up their family team

to go on mission. They make the family the mission,

right? Where homeschool becomes about protecting or insulating from the world or nothing more

than just like making your family look cute and awesome, right? It's more about image. It's more

about how it is. It's more about, you know, protecting from evil in the world when Jesus makes

it very clear that's in our heart,

not out there. And that's something you have to really, really wrestle with. So I think that's the big pothole there that I think a lot of us don't talk about that homeschool is a really great option if you want to build the team, cultivate the team, steward the team to go out on mission. And I've seen really powerful teams that do that. I think you guys are included as one of those. But yeah,

I think, but I think public schools themselves or any school, private schools that you have to send your kids off to, because my sister actually went to a private school. I went to a private school for some of my years. And I think the problems that you're about to talk about are actually in both. I don't think there's any difference between public and private at all, which is really funny. But yeah, what would you say to that? Yeah, so this is obviously a challenging topic. So our schools bad for family teams, there's one scenario in which

they are always bad. Okay. So I want to really tease out this one particular problem. And if you

run into this problem, you need to deal with it very quickly. That is,

schools are bad for family teams if it causes your child to switch teams. And this can happen.
