Also in the video, Jill discussed the decision to send Israel Dillard to the public school. The couple thought about the options before choosing what to do. Derick Dillard grew up in the public school system while Jill Duggar received home schooling from her mother.

Derick had fun with Jill when he discussed introducing her to public school reading. It was more like an excavation for her parents because she became more mainstream than any other member of her immediate family. Amy Duggar King is her cousin and the two are incredibly close, so she probably had a hand in opening Jill’s eyes to more mainstream things as well.

There was a promise to come up with more videos of a similar format. Jill and Derick Dillard both get a lot of questions about social media and answering them in one place is useful for all fans to see and hear what they are saying without having to repeat themselves a few times.
