Home schooling on the road

There are benefits and draw backs to home school. I was home schooled up to the 9th grade and then went to a public high school. I was ahead of my peers in physics, math, social studies, history, English lit. but way behind in chemistry, biology, and English grammar. Social development with peers is another area most home schooled children are behind in. I was great socializing with adults but awkward in social situations with other kids.

We're curious about this as well. There's a paid group called Families in the road, I think, that had materials and stories. We've done six weeks and haven't got out academic achievement goals. Given the summer, and the experiential learning, it's been enough for us to try a semester's worth.OP: let's chat!

We have met several families during our time on the road who are doing this. My wife is a retired educator and thinks the parents were doing excellent jobs educating their kids. One family had six boys - several of them adopted. They travel around the country doing community service in addition to home schooling. (Dad works remotely.) One of the boys was graduating high school a year or two early and had already gotten an appointment to the USAF academy in Colorado Springs. I don't think I have the skills or aptitude, but my hat is off to those we've met who do.

We know a couple of families tha successfully home schooled their children. To do so properly takes a LOT of work. I couldn’t imagine doing that while on the road.

No link to the story. Sounds like the movie RV. Not for me, though. My wife was an Air Force brat. She moved many times and hated moving. I was the opposite, never moved and loved the stability of staying put.
