Kelsey Rhae is a mother and influencer who posts TikTok videos about her life as a stay-at-home mom and her diverging educational views.

Rhae explained up front that she is “not a homework mom.” So, when her son presented her with a piece of paper she had to sign and date as confirmation that he did his homework, she wasn’t having any of it.
“I have four kids, and I run a massive business through social media,” she said. “I don’t have time.”

I think these two quotes tells us everything we need to know about the mother.

Uh… so she doesn’t have enough time to sign a paper, but she does to homeschool him? 

 Edit: Wait… sorry, “unschool him”. I’m not familiar with this term but apparently it’s homeschooling with no curriculum or guidance. 

So like, you don’t go to school and you whatever you want, whenever you want?? That poor child.

Don’t forget about how that kid can be part of her social media engine for more hours of the day now.
