Quotes

  • “If we took a poll of students nationwide, if they like school, I think 75% said they don't.” - Jay Lyons

  • “It's so important for me to help parents understand that we don't have to accept that our kids have to take six hours a day to get their academics done; they can literally crush their academics in two hours a day.” - McKenzie Price

  • “One thing that would be great is in a traditional school, if they could make sure that kids are moving at least 15 minutes in the morning, right, and then getting a longer break during lunchtime and getting a break in the afternoon to be able to do something.” - McKenzie Price

  • “I think parents really care most about life skill acquisition. Honestly, I don't think a lot of parents care about academics.” - McKenzie Price

  • “Teaching of life skills could really be implemented in the traditional school system if we were willing to change the model and give more time for students to be able to do that.” - McKenzie Price

  • “We tell parents this, if you are a parent at our school, you're going to support but not solve.” - McKenzie Price

  • “Two things are true about kids. They are limitless. They really are capable of doing so much more than we give them credit for and they might wiggle their way out, you know, of something and do whatever they need to do in order to get through that.” - McKenzie Price
