I have a teenager on the spectrum. He’s high functioning and struggles in school. This spring we learned that online school was a better learning environment for him when his grades went from 3 F’s, 1 D and 2 A’s to all A’s and 1 C. Our struggle this summer has been do we keep him at the school he’s at so he can to continue to work with the same support team and just hope that there will be an online option or do we enroll him in an online school and start over with new support staff.
My heart goes out to all parents who have to make such an awful decision from two possibly bad scenarios. I have no school-age children, and am not in this "fight." I've heard from both sides regarding staying home vs taking chances with going back to school. I will not take sides and cannot judge. I will keep all parents, teachers, and students in my thoughts and prayers that each are able to do what is best for them. Bless you all.
One good thing about this virus is kids begging to go back to school 🤣

Hey guys! Yeah I feel the same way. Here we go again. Pen's singing in this video is AMAZING! Who else agrees? You guys definitely deserve more subs.
Penn has such talent , singing with himself, it’s amazing. As a student, online school is my preferred way to learn. It’s far less stressful and I’m no longer spending an hour and a half every day getting ready and walking to the bus stop, riding the bus, etc.

Two months ago I looked my boss straight in the eye and said “There’s being optimistic and then there’s being reasonable. I work too hard picking up other people’s messes to not know how much Customers don’t care about me.” So I quarantined myself for my mother’s health and now my fellow employees wish they had done the same because it got bad quick. It’s 200+ cases a day where I am. Wearing a mask helps, but it’s only one of the five things needed to combat this.

Totally feeling the same- they’ll try to make it work at school but one case and the whole thing will shut down. I’d love some alone time back to work on my online business but might have to abandon it to be the super mom/teacher/bus driver/ etc - can you do a parody of “whatever it takes” to get some knowledge back in their brains...we’ll do whatever it takes! Lol (imagine dragons)
I freaking love this one. My kids have obsessed over “watermelon sugar” over and over, so this is very cool. You both amaze me with every new parody and nail it beyond!!!

Just excellent! Great lyrics, awesome harmonies, and good acting! Thanks so much!!!! (And yes we love Penn's hair too)
Too real guys. You've captured the zeitgeist of all parents.
Makes me happy we homeschool. None of us are stressing about this.
Penn, Kim, PC, and Lola I love y’all so much and y’all’s videos make my day! Thank y’all for bringing a smile to my face everyday! Sending lots of love to you from Texas! Penn you have an amazing voice! Really love listening to you sing
This may be your best parody yet. Best lyrics and best harmonizing. Amen!! Keep it up!!! Love you guys!
I’m a teacher. We’re doing the first nine weeks remotely for sure. I’m so nervous I won’t be able to give the kids what they need. Darn COVID! I miss seeing my students face to face!
Nailed it. This one knocked it out of the park. Really well done.
Who else here thought that Penn was literally going to pull out his hair?
Thank you!!! thank you!!!! thank you!!!! thank you!!!!!! I am really stressing out !!!! Especially you are in or out for the quarter so I am terrified to make the wrong decision on my high school girls junior year everybody else around me is like they need to go back to school...of course they need to go back to school but there's no safe way of doing that with their plans......I am truly terrified thank you thank you I am not alone!!!!
Love the music, enjoyed the lyrics. Thanks for your songs. I'm going online school.
Your homeschool fan base (you are VERY popular amongst homeschoolers) are reacting to all of these online schooling parodies with a mixture of "get over it" laughter and immense pity cuz we know how hard it is and it is DEFINITELY not a decision anyone makes without a lot of thought! Good luck! ❤❤❤
39th!!! This is so relatable. Thanks Kim and Penn for getting us through this hard time.
Thanks for all the fun . It keeps me smiling though all this
Penn is impressive in just about every way. His voice is beautiful and his harmonies are just amazing. Good hair too. 😁
I just love you guys! Thank you for keeping us laughing & keeping life real!❤️🌸
We’re in the same decision-making boat and this will definitely lead to drinking! 🤣
Our school is doing half in, half out. Half the weekdays we are going to school. The rest are online.
My high school is making us go online first, then when we go into phase two we'll do blended
Lock them in a room and give them some chips then act like they are at school even though they are safe doing online school 😂

It's going to end up with everyone back online anyway. Might as well opt for consistancy & safety to begin with.
You two ROCK! Thanks for all the great laughs (and pretty good music too!) :-)
This sounds like the Nextdoor and local FB moms group discussion EXACTLY. They all have to pick and it’s driving everyone insane. We’re “lucky” at the charter school who just made the decision for us- starting at home with the hope we’ll go to our hybrid plan at some point when numbers look better? Even though it’s still gonna be ROUGH, just grateful to not have to make the decision. Hang in there and best wishes for the school year!
My whole family waits for another video to drop. You are helping us keep our sanity, for sure. BTW, I caught my 6 yr old singing along with a song on pandora...."slime after slime". Bc, clearly those are the original lyrics. Thank you for everything.
Best One Yet!!!! Perfect song. Gap year for everyone for the win!
Just when I thought I couldn't love you guys more than I do! Thank for reminding us we are not the only ones losing our minds!

Another classic video. I'm a retired school teacher, but I told my wife that I would NOT return to school if I wasn't retired. Too dangerous. At any rate, we love the "Not Today Rona" facemask. Gonna have to order one soon.
You guys are so awesome! Thanks for the entertainment during this crazy time. 🙏❤️
It’s really sad and funny all at the same time. I appreciate you guys and the way you put it all into perspective.
It would be better if we go back to school but I don’t think it’s safe enough sooooo
I just loved Penn's musical rendition of this song. Gonna be replaying this a lot - so catchy. I liked Penn's vocals to the music better than the original. I'm going to have this song stuck in my head all day, probably the week or longer (Target circles was like that) also really liked Penn's flash dance version from the other day better than the original too. Penn can do any song, but some songs are perfect with his voice. I'm jealous of this guy's musical talent and skill. Wish I could make music like that! ☹️😭😁♥️💕
Yall are such a great couple!
It’s just “Watermelon Sugar” Love the parodies!
My favorite song, and Penn you did amazing job! Thank you so much for saying just what us parents are thinking..thanks for making us laugh always
Love you guys! Us too. We are right there with you both!
The best family of 2020, hands down!
I always love that you guys make the best out of tough or hard situations and make our days a lot more enjoyable because of it. Thank you!
I am thankful for my circumstance in which I’ve been enjoying homeschooling my children for 15 years, I feel for the parents having to decide on shipping their kids off to school or staying home. Best of luck to everyone out there no matter what you’ve decided to do. ❤️
I'm amazed at how Penn can put this together.
I love all of your videos and this one could just be your best!!!
This is soooo good!! Literally just added it to my school playlist😍😍
I love ur vids! This quarentine would have been so boring witthout ur vids! TYSM holderness family!

I’m so early and I love this song! This is the only thing I like you guys are my favorite channel!
After you did the "misheard lyrics" snippet with this one, I really wanted a "one of you should apply" parody for this song lol
my mom is WHEEZING from these videos🤣
They made one of my fav songs into a parody... what could be better
Great voice 👍. Thank you but I already lost my mind 😂😂
Thanks for another great video!!! I don't happen to have kids, but I can understand how stressful it must be to be a parent right now dealing with these decisions. I feel for all the parents out there!!!
”I'm gonna go check my hernia”, you guys are so hilarious, ty!
Hello! Holderness Family 👋😆💕😂📹👍. You are so funny and talented. Thank you for making us all laugh and smile during this pandemic. It makes life a little easier. "God Bless Y'all"...
You guys should do a parody of "Chandelier" about "I wanna see/hear something nice on the news, something nice on the news (for a change)..."
This is their best video yet! I love you guys!!

You guys are so great! I'm glad that my kids are all adults! But I have 2 grandkids going into 2nd grade and kindergarten. The older one is very high risk from heart issues, and will continue distance learning. The little one will also be distance learning as my daughter can't risk her bringing anything home to her. Needless to say she's devastated, but she gets it.
this just makes everything seem better thx 💖
My school offered a mix. Like a couple weeks in school and a couple out.
Same thing here omg have no idea. 🧐😫😱 thanks for the song loved it. 🥰Keep it coming you guys are great 👍🏻 🥰
Absolutely love your family and your humor!
Great emotional tune. Sounds of the fear, indecision and frustration! The words are perfect. My child is a teacher and I’ve been losing my mind! Finally...online decision I think because of Marlins. ❤️❤️❤️
