I’m laughing my socks off thinking about how your education department is going to go nuts trying to think of a reason to turn you down! How on earth did I not know about your homeschooling site? Going to check it out now.x

In reply to Andrew.

Thanks Kim and Korina, glad you approve, you’re old hands at this so should know!. Andrew, (he’s a teacher ladies!) that’s way, way shorter than what I normally submit, I normally specify topics and learning areas for all subjects. To be honest, I can’t be bothered, they’ll probably turn me down, they don’t like you to travel. Ridiculous isn’t it! The boys will be almost 100% unschooled as we travel. All of the above can easily be achieved with unschooling. I’ll just read things to them and talk about stuff a lot. That is how we roll. It works. Maybe we’ll do a bit of maths on Study Ladder to kill time. They’re both 1 to 2 years ahead of their peers with maths, so no dramas.
All I learnt on school trips was how to drink, by the way, they were great! Some girls had some very educational experiences with teachers, too ( ’nuff said).

This sounds amazing, if every child had this kind of education then we would all be in a perfect world! The children I taught were stuck in a classroom all day, they learnt so much more on trips to France. Travel broadens the mind, what more can you want?
