RV family living & “roadschooling”
Many families are choosing to live & travel in an RV, teaching their children from the road. Can you do this, too? RVillage members offer their insights & helpful tips.
Note: You will need to be logged in to RVillage and join discussion groups to add your comments & tips. It's a great way to meet lots of new RVing friends!
While adults enjoy the obvious benefits of living & working from the road, home/road-schooled children can reap the rewards of real-time geography and history and natural science lessons on a daily basis—rather than just from books and videos.
