My wife and I have been very interested in the subject
of home schooling since we dicided to buy a boat and
go crusing.
With a 7 month old we still have the time to finish
saving, buy, refit, and go crusing before it is time
for him to go to school. But it won't be long before
it is time for school. We saw two basic options.
First we could choose our port of call baised on the
best combination of liveaboard friendly marina and
school system quality. Or we could home school aboard
and continue to roam.
There are a number of crusers who use the Calvert
School (http://home.calvertschool.org/) and we have
been keeping up with several crusing journals from
families taking that approach. My two favorite are:
TWL: Cruising aboard Nostrum Again (from the Trawler
World List)
http://www.indiscipline.org/
We have also begun to read about home shooling in
general, just by doing searches on the internet. The
more I read the less guilty and selfish I feel, the
kids who are home schooled seem to do so much better.
(Unless it is just propiganda)
Out of all of the models we seem to like the
corispondence school approach from an accredited
school such as Calvert and their compeditors.
We are a bit concerned about home schooling an only
child with such a different lifestyle, and are
interested in hearing more from parents who are doing
it.
If you hear anything interesting, or find something
exciting please pass it along.
-Thanks
Chris
