Roadschooling Panel: How 4 Full-Time RV Families Handle Curriculum, Littles, Middles & High School On the Road

Send us Fan MailIt's back-to-school season, but for full-time RVing families, there's not always a first-day photo, no bell schedule, and no hallway pass. In this Not Back to School roadschooling panel, host Jennifer Schillaci of Learn to RV brings together three fellow full-time RV moms — Kristina Bram (Traveling with the Brams), Rhea Gibson (Wandering Rocks Family), and Ashliy Sutterfield (Wander About Full Time RV) — for an honest, funny, and practical conversation about educating kids of every age on the road.Together they cover littles, middles, and high schoolers; deschooling and unschooling; what to do when "school becomes a fight"; screen time and Outschool electives; and a rapid-fire tour of the curriculum programs that have actually worked (and flopped) in their homes. If you're a roadschooling mom staring down another back-to-school season wondering if you're doing enough, this episode is your permission slip.Who this episode is for: full-time RV families, roadschoolers, homeschool moms considering full-time travel, and anyone weighing curriculum options for littles, middles, or high schoolers.Meet the PanelJennifer Schillaci (host) — Owner of Learn to RV and Learn to RV The Podcast.
