My kids Maddox and Mason, they go to Rocky Mountain Prep and they get challenged every day. They have, like I said earlier, they have the PEAK value system, which means Perseverance, Excellence, Adventure, and Kindness, and that's something that I hold dear to myself — as a parent, as a citizen of the United States. You know, these are some of the values that we have to instill in our children so they become productive. If you don't instill those kinds of values, or any kind of values, then the kids just fall by the wayside ... That's what I want my children to be, a little bit ahead of the game, 'cause I don't want them to have to fall back.
