If you’re a fan of the quirky sitcom New Girl, you probably adore Max Greenfield, who charmingly portrays Winston Schmidt. But prepare to fall even more in love as you witness his comedic efforts to homeschool his daughter, Emma. Greenfield and Emma are embarking on the same journey many of us are—attempting to balance the roles of parent, teacher, and student while maintaining their sanity.
It’s been ages since most of us have been in a classroom, and the struggle is real! The father of two is keeping his followers entertained with his candid updates on social media (which you should definitely check out). It’s impossible not to crack up watching his antics as he navigates the challenges of teaching nouns and mustaches—both of which prove to be quite the conundrum. You can see the dawning realization on his face as the homeschooling reality hits him. As Emma cleverly points out, had he not spent his high school years “puff puff puff”ing and “glug glug glug”ing, he might be a more effective educator.
In one of his recent posts, Greenfield humorously recounts his attempt to read The Birchbark House, only to be ratted out by Emma who sent a note to her teacher to report her dad. “My daughter sent this message to her teachers today! Just in case you were wondering what bottom looks like,” he quips alongside a photo of her note. Caught red-handed!
He also shared a side-splitting video where he reads a passage to Emma, who is understandably preoccupied with her phone. He aptly titles this moment a “total disaster,” and trust me, I resonate with every bit of his frustration. Emma soon becomes the unexpected star of the show, telling her dad to stop singing because, in her words, “he has a dog poop voice.”
And just when you think the hilarity can’t escalate further, Greenfield asks her, “How long does it take to spell Massachusetts?” To which she retorts, “Dad, I need your nonsense like I need a hole in the head.” God bless this child and everyone involved in raising her!
In one of his videos, Greenfield expresses gratitude for real teachers, realizing Emma is on TikTok doing dance moves behind him. This comedic relief is exactly what we all need right now as we navigate our own homeschooling adventures.

It’s a delightful reminder that while homeschooling can be a tough gig, laughter is a crucial part of the journey.
