Angie believes it will give their kids a better education and allow them to spend more time together as a family. However, George is hesitant, as he worries he won't have the patience or the skills necessary to teach his kids.
Despite his reservations, George decides to give homeschooling a try. However, he quickly finds out that it's not as easy as he thought.

However, they discover that the school they want to send their kids to has a long waiting list, and they must come up with a plan to appeal to the admissions committee. George decides to put on a skit to show that his family is committed to their kids' education. The skit is a success, and the admissions committee agrees to admit their children.
In the end, George learns that homeschooling may not have been the right choice for his family, but that doesn't mean he's a bad father.
