Episode notes
Year On The Road With Kids
- Daz rented out the family house, took long service leave and lived in a caravan with his wife and two boys for ~7.5 months.
- They travelled ~35,000 km across Australia visiting 150 caravan sites and used the trip to travel-school the kids.
Learning Styles Revealed By Travel
- The trip revealed each child learns differently: the eldest missed school structure while the younger thrived with self-directed learning.
- Travel-schooling helped the family discover what learning styles suit each boy and informed future schooling decisions.
Choose A Curriculum That Fits
- Research different schooling methodologies and choose what resonates with your family before you pull kids out of school.
- Keep foundational English and math but adapt other subjects to experiential learning and resources you find on the road.
