She admitted that at first, she decided to homeschool her kids as she loved being a mom and wanted to have her kids around her all-time, and she also thought she could also teach things that kids wouldn't learn at school. 

But when she got into homeschooling, it was a completely different perspective. She started questioning why choose to school and what did they get out of there.

She said her husband also thought that homeschooling would be interesting.
