Bridget and Jeren don't shy away from tough topics like bullying and the public vs. private school debate.
They even tackle the controversial topic of homeschooling and what they'd consider for their own daughter. Their personal anecdotes make you reflect on your own school days and how they might have shaped your views.

Bridget's memorable quote, 'So, just looking at that sort of K through experience, I'm definitely a proponent of private school versus public school, even if I had the experience having left private school and gone back and was shunned because I was suddenly a public school person, a kid from the wrong side of the tracks', adds a personal touch that many can relate to.
