"From sunup to sundown, every day was a rush, and dinner was always late as we scrambled with the kids to get homework done. Our mornings started at 5:30 a.m. Waking our four children up - now 6, 9, 11, and 14 - an hour before the sun rose was becoming a daunting task. It felt like we were becoming robots."
"My wife, Lola, was a teacher, and she told me she was ready to resign and teach our own children, as well as to get an RV for us to travel in. I asked her what we would be doing to earn an income, and at first, we were clueless. It was on a trip to Key West, FL, that we discovered the wonders of work camping. In short, we exchange work hours for wages and an RV site."
Parents found the public school routine unsustainable due to very early mornings, rushed commutes, separate school drop-offs, and expensive before- and after-care. Daily schedules beginning at 5:30 a.m. left the household exhausted and dinner delayed while homework was squeezed in. The family withdrew four children, aged 6, 9, 11, and 14, and began homeschooling while traveling in an RV. The homeschooling plan coincided with the mother’s decision to resign from teaching and with discovering work camping on a trip to Key West, where exchanged work hours provided wages and an RV site, enabling continued travel to many states.
