- Like what? I think that by doing something like that we would be isolating our children from social interaction.
- Well, first of all, I would be able to teach them everything they learn in school in a more relaxed and fun way. I also think that having a one-on-one class is much better since you can focus more on his or her strengths or weaknesses.

- I will bring it up over Sunday brunch.
