I agree with a lot of what you’re saying but I also think you should take into consideration that it didn’t work for YOU because of your lifestyle and your career. If you guys had 9-5 with kids like most of the world you might not feel the same way.

If Penelope wants to go to college, please support that. Don’t encourage her not to go to college and do “social media”… If you’re worried about her struggling and getting into debt when going to college, I don’t think you’ll have to worry about that. You and Luis are blessed and doing well, I’m sure you wouldn’t allow P to get into debt. Love the podcast btw! A lot of valid points.

29:26 is a crazy thing to say 😮 I get that college isn’t for everyone but actively discouraging Penelope from going to college and instead pursue social media is crazy

It seems like you were saying Penelope was holding you back in life. You should’ve known when having kids your life will never be the same.

Agree with your critics, but you also have to admit that CPS and tracking tardiness etc keeps certain kids safe from their families. Penelope is lucky to have parents that care about her and also have the ability to provide her with options. Not every kids has this, and public school may be the only avenue to have an opportunity in life.

Yall are DISGUISTING!! You don't want to get up in the morning and want your kids to work!! You are the reason for her anxiety and stress from making her LATE!!!

Debt from going to college ??!! You guys wanna pull her out of school so she can do brand deals. That’s work !! That’s child labor !!!Are you saying she is not getting paid ? You should put aside money that she earns !!!!!

The least you can do is build a college fund for your kids. And if they don’t go to college they can use that money for something else, since they’ll be so smart from homeschooling. Youre def building up Ps life to revolve around yours and idk if that’s fair but good luck to her in the up and coming school year.

I'm so sorry but all of their reasons sounded like they are trying to raise a bunch of lazy kids that will turn into lazy adults. What's wrong with waking up early and having a routine. Bramty said P would come home stressed. Life is not easy and as time goes by it is only going to get harder and more stressful. We have to teach our kids to know how to handle stress and tough situations. That's why there are so many young kids taking their own lives because they can't take the stress.

Having your child purposely miss school for a brand deal you signed them up for IS PURE SELFISHNESS! They have their priorities all messed up. They pulled her out of school largely for themselves!

They felt like prisoners because they had to wake up at 6am?! LOL WHAT - like every single other parent who goes to work and takes their kid to school?!

Everything you’re saying in this episode is very much giving I’m entitled. Not everyone has the luxury of staying home to homeschool. Waking up at 6 in the morning unfortunately majority of Americans don’t have an option.

I think homeschooling is a great idea, but being that Bramty thinks the earth is flat maybe you guys should consider a tutor

They have a tendency of starting projects then stopping with little to no explanation lol

Im sorry if this offends anybody including you bramty but i feel like those are just excuses. Everyone who has children sometimes struggles to make their schedule fit their kids schedule. But that doesn't stop them from sending them to school.

I went to a SMALL public highschool. Less than 350 in the entire high school. It was a fabulous education because they were able to give individualized attention and really wanted us to understand concepts and a growth mindset. They required us to take a sewing class, foods class, as well as a finance class in order to graduate as well. ❤

“Have a huge debt” girl, y’all have enough money to go around and pay for your baby girls college. If she wants to go why don’t you encourage her??

sweet Jesus.. i feel like i'm going crazy lol. did she really just say she doesn't want people to know them? to see inside their house? and that she's taking her kid out of school because she can't get out of bed in time to take her? what in the name of God is happening here? i'm...completely....floored.

School teaches children soft skills more than anything. Teamwork, independence, critical thinking, how to be analytical , problem solving, empathy, responsibility, time management , social skills etc. Being surrounded by others 8 hours a day ( beyond family & friends) is crucial to a child's development. Growing up, I also obviously " disliked" going to school but as I entered the workforce and started building my career, this became significantly more apparent. Learning hard math is not for everyone but it opens up doors to career paths that you would not have , if you were to not take it. Obviously the school system is flawed, but it is sooo important to the child's development. It's not easy but that's life. Humans adapt and the only way to grow is to go through uncomfortable periods of time, even as a child. These are the years to shape them and teach them about hard work

I love watching your videos! The school is amazing for keeping track of tardiness because this is how it is determined whether CPS needs to be involved or not. Maybe Penelope was so stressed because she missed so many days and it is hard to catch-up. Kids need a stable life especially growing up so her having a routine of going to school is great for her and it will help her in the future. If your kids decide they want to attend college then why not support them? It doesn't make sense. Life as a influencer will not last forever.

I was fortunate enough to have my child do school virtually, all of elementary was a challenge for in person learning. Long story! Started virtual last year for middle and now my son is happy, extremely confident, schedule extremely flexible amazing support and now able to graduate early 😊 more family time too! Truly grateful! I totally understand where you coming from. And am sure Penelope is going to love it! Best of luck! You both are doing great things!

College is important. Just like you wouldn’t want your parents pushing you into college, you shouldn’t limit your kids from pursuing higher education. Math is important. Science is important.

“Yeah we’re pulling our kid out of school cause we don’t want to wake up early and they can’t shoot content for us”

Here’s a question: if you guys didn’t have money/do social media and had average jobs, would you still discourage colleges to your child?

I think you’re taking her out of school to benefit you. That’s all. For the brand deals you get paid, to travel with your kids, to be lazy and sleep in. Stop saying your child’s education is affecting your life. It’s not about YOU. Wake up!

"Do you know how crazy it is to get up a 8 yr old at 6am?" Yes, parents have been doing it for over 100 years. Sounds like your enabling and spoiling Penelope.

letting your child skip school for brand deals is absurd. i hope bramty at least has a fund to give her children when they turn 18 of all the money theyve generated

Do what’s best for your children. So many parents blame a bad school system, but parents are part of the problem when they don’t comply with rules. Best wishes to Penelope, please don’t tell her not to go to college, what if she wants to be a doctor? Lawyer? Teacher? She will need college 🙏❤️

I feel like adults who say they felt lost in school and didn’t know what they wanted to do when they grew up and look down upon the education system didn’t have true support from their parents. Because parents who take the time to learn their kids, engage and observe their kid’s strengths, put them in extracurricular activities where they can excel aside from the formal/traditional school system and help lead their kids into their future careers. It seems like Mimi and Luis mom weren’t very involved and that’s why you both don’t see the true value of the system. Not every system is great, I will say that for sure. But they are definitely not all bad. You just have to find the right one for your child. You don’t have to always do it yourself. You just have to trust and believe and be present and supportive every step of the way for it to be worth it, idk if any of this makes sense.

Penelope doesn’t have to struggle if y’all start saving now for her college and if she decides not to go to college give her that money through time for a car or a house!

The video said it. Penelope wants to go to college but Bramty was encouraging her to do social media in a way. 🤦‍♀️Think before you speak, please.

I could give my point of view as a public school teacher, but it really is circumstantial. Some schools are brand new with great programs and some are falling apart. At the end of the day, parents have to do what is best for their children, and public school is the best environment some kids have, which is why I teach where I grew up.

I totally agree with what you guys said about high schools only teaching you to memorize things. I’m 19 years old and just starting my 2nd year of college. My 1st year was such a struggle for me. I went into college with zero study habits when in college you actually have to understand what is being taught so I spent my whole 1st year trying to figure out the most effective way to study to ensure that i would completely understand the content that was being taught. I never realized until I got to college that high school is purely memorization.

As parents, they have the right to educate their kids as they please. I still love them, but they intentionally or unintentionally, just offended a lot of good people. People who work regular jobs that can’t afford to homeschool. Educators who bust their butts to educate the tiny humans. It’s a total slap to hear educators being called babysitters, when there are so many good ones out there. Not all kids will have brand deals so school is their best option to escape poverty.

I completely agree that our school system is terrible, but saying math and algebra is dumb is crazyyyy. We would literally have no society or engineering without math… math definitely matters lol

As a teacher, you can tell when a parent is keeping their kid out of school for selfish and wrong reason. You can also tell when a parent is keeping a kid home to do a mental health or fun day. This was them wanting their count days to be full.

You guys are saying Public schools are all about the "money". Yet you guys want to take Penelope out of school because of Sponsors .😂😂😂

I also pulled out my kids from Public school last year and this is our first year homeschooling. I 100% agree with both of you guys about the reasons for homeschooling! It is a little scary and overwhelming starting this journey but we are blessed to be able to do it because not all parents have the privilege. You guys are great parents and everything will go just fine! 😊

I hope you know that you both as influencers know how to read, write and do math THANKS to teachers.

The counselors of a school have a point. You’re not being logical.

Since Bramty is not the smartest of the bunch, what about a tutor once they’re middle/high school age?

What a shame... Undereducated parents interfearing in a child's educational development. If she indeed belongs in a gifted program, I don't think a parent that says "We couldn't do nothing" can give proper education. School is made to prepare students for the working force and learn to make a living, while parents at home teach values, behaviour, ethics, proper eating, and lifestyle decisions.

Bramty don't tell Penelope she doesn't have to go to college. Tell her she can do whatever she loves to do as long as its honest money and doesnt go against any of ur ethical and moral values. Encourage college. U don't know if social media will be around in 10+ years! Education is so important.

I Started Cracking Up When Bramty Was Like “& That’s It “ 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

I’m so happy to hear y’all are homeschooling, I started 2 years ago and it’s been a great change!

You guys do realize that they are entitled to their opinion? It’s THEIR child. America school system definitely needs to do better.

I like yall but it seems like your taking her out for your own well being.

Why would Penelope have to worry about college debt? Wouldn’t y’all be able to handle that for her??

They said “she ONLY missed 20 days” do they not realize that equals out to missing almost a whole month of learning

Bramty everyone struggles let her choose her life if she wants to do college encourage that

Influencers might not be around forever I hope you know that.

Taking your kid out of school because it's inconvenient for you is wild

This feels wrong, like the intentions and reasons? If I had a daughter this smart I will pay all the money for her to find the right program for smart kids where shes happy extending her brain.

I get it but feeling like you're in prison bc you have to take your child to school is CRAZYYYYYYYY

Why not put her back into a private school? I think some people can make homeschooling work but lets be real your not doing this for the best interest of your daughter your doing this for yourself and your career.

So you’re taking her out of school so she can do social media ?!

Socialization being peoples top priority is crazy! Especially being that out of the eight hours they’re gone they only get to “socialize” a total of MAYBE an hour. School pretty much prepares our kids for corporate America and to me THAT is limiting to children. As a 27 years old women it has taking me yearssss to genuinely figure out what I love, figure out what works for me, my learning style, my passions, ect. Homeschooling gives children the freedom to find the answers to those questions at a very young age. There’s no one to limit them, there’s no students shamming or bullying them into was “cool” and most of all there’s no one to compare themselves too. They create their own standard and typically are much more confident . Just because they’re homeschooled doesn’t mean they can not still attend college or better yet an Ivy League. However, homeschool prepares children for either decision they choose. Entrepreneurship or corporate America. Also, They public school system is definitely lacking. Education has gone down and so many have become teachers because of the security and not the passion. I’m friends with so many women that are teachers that literally say when they have kids they would never place them the the public school system. That’s not to say every school is terrible but we must be real, most schools are not doing very well, and American education is the lowest compared to other countries.

Not all schools are bad and this way!! Idk what kind of schools yall have in Florida but where I live it's not that way!! Kids healthy and better then most people where I live!

You are going to get a lot of hate for this because school is the best way out of poverty and a lot of us are not into social media and actually we do have functional jobs and play a role in the workforce.

If your daughter is waking up at 6 o’clock every day, why is she late for school?

I’m 100% home schooling my children. I understand completely where you guys are coming from

I watched a young relative go through the Kumon learning program up until the end of high school and it put him at 2-3 grade levels ahead of his actual grade. It would be extremely beneficial for all of your children in addition to homeschooling. It’s part class work, part home work. Look into it, again, I HIGHLY recommend it for kids who are in school currently or about to enter school or going to be home schooled.

I meaaaan what’s more important? School or child labor doing brand deals 😂 school teaches kids responsibility and structure.

I am so proud of you guys for making this decision! My daughter is homeschooled via k12 and she loves it.This will be her 3rd year in the program and it is so versatile. She has made many friends virtually who we have weekend meet ups with. She is also in cheer which is a great way to connect with other children as well. Best decision my family has ever made❤ My son will be joining the same program next year when he starts TK😊

If you have the luxury to homeschool her, I’m glad you’re choosing to do so. There’s also people out there who can but chose not to do it, so it’s nice to see you wanting to do that for her despite how busy you already are. 🙌🏻

BEEN WAITING FOR THIS ONE

I loved this podcast a ton! Love the new vibe and how it feels less like an interview and it’s chill vibes & cozy but still super put together ❤❤

Sounds like your doing this for you and Luis this just doesn’t sound right

My daughter is almost 2 and I go back and forth all the time thinking about this. Public schools are good for some things but it is a lot for a young kid to go through. I think you guys are doing the right thing for your babies!

the reason is very selfish .... she's a child and needs to be a child... she shouldn't be pulled out of school to do videos .... very selfish

This is my first week of homeschooling and I was feeling so many emotions seeing all these kids going to school. Thinking is my daughter missing out, but this gave me so much peace that I made the right decision, many of the reasons you have I have too and God led me to the decision to do so. Thank you for sharing!

Love y’all so much for this❤️ started homeschool for my kids this year too, cannot wait to follow along your journey!

Please read “A framework for understanding poverty” by Ruby K. Payne. For most people, education is the only way out. Penelope is blessed to have this opportunity. Best of luck to you guys

The intro changed right? Or am I crazy 🤪 love it though!!!!!! So cute 😩

Lmao your child’s education was in the way of YOUR life hahahahaaaaaaaa

As an elementary school teacher, I can say I agree with you, if I was able to homeschool my child, I would. You guys are doing great for yours!!

I was waiting for you guys to post!!!

I homeschool too and I’m so happy to hear you guys are too!!!

imagine if they had a 9-5....

This episode is crazy and it’s showing the privilege YALL have! Plus all say not to go to college and not motivating her acting like she will have loans YALL are rich pay for her school.

During quarantine I knew absolutely that I could never homeschool them. Props to all teachers.

Your only teacher isn’t just in school. Parents are teachers too. So life skills should be taught at home. Like writing a check, opening a bank account, cooking ect.

We are homeschoolers since Covid and we never went back. My two boys are so so happy smart and healthy and blessed. And we are not rich by any means, we just live differently now and it’s been beautiful. So happy for you and your family❤

Ooooo yeah absolutely not. The privilege in the room is crazy. I work at a title 1 middle school and we do not get paid per attendance lololol. We work extremely hard and it is very annoying when you have those kids who are constantly absent. We do a lot for kids and school isn’t all about academics. They learn so much socially mentally and emotionally. Hope homeschooling goes well.

You should definitely try and go through a charter school that can help lead you in your homeschool journey

So you’re pulling her out of school to make her work. Wow.

You guys are going to feel real freedom!!! Homeschooling is the best!!!!!!

It’s not just about the curriculum. You don’t think this will affect your children in the long run as far as socialization? Making friends? Create social anxiety because they won’t be used to being around children for long periods of time? Or just even learn how to interact with other people other than family. There’s a lot of different characters out there and I think it’s important for children to be out in the world and learn how other people work.

I’m very fortunate to be a SAHM & we started homeschooling my 4yr old & I love it!! After his homework we go do outdoor activities & field trips.

The audacity of these people

Discrediting teachers who don’t get paid enough is crazy

Make a kid skip shool to make her work ?? Does this really sound right in your heads ?

Do what’s best for your family!!! ❤❤❤❤❤

Finally! i’ve been waiting for you to post lol 😂

It’s pointless for influencers and what “your career” is … but engineers, writers, artists, lawyers etc etc used schools as a tool to get to where they are now.

yikes. to this entire video.

All I hear is travels and trips that benefit you guys rather than the kidos education. Respectfully

Blessed that I’ve been able to homeschool my 4 kids for the past 6 years. We get our work done in 2.5 hours a day, 4 days a week. When people find out they are homeschooled they are surprised because of how outgoing they are. That is 1000% because we get out and enjoy life.

We homeschool have been for 4 years! We honestly love it! I feel blessed to able to do it and have a husband who supports us and I’m able to stay home with my kiddos

Vacations can be planned during the summer and during breaks.
