3 Months of Home Schooling / World Schooling - what homeschooling looks like for this UK family in Bali and SE Asia

Home schooling for us is about flexibility and freedom in our life. We're currently in Bali, but last month we were in Vietnam and in 2 months time we plan to go back to Vietnam and so the flexibility suits us. But now that we've lived this life, I don't think we'll ever go back to traditional schooling, even if we end up being fixed in one place or if we ever return back to the UK.

And this is mainly because the kids are thriving with this new way of life. They are both emotionally very happy and settled in themselves.There is no anxiety or back to school dread, worry that they used to have. They are becoming super confident in feeling as though they are capable in themselves and not needing to ask and being worried to speak up or even ask for things in a foreign language. They have both set up their own businesses! And are learning digital skills to set them up for life.

The reality of the day to day of home schooling is very different from what we thought it would look like in the beginning. When we were just starting to think about home schooling / world schooling.

No 2 days are the same. Some days we do no learning. Others we absolutely can't stop learning because we're engaged and in a flow. And we're literally doing it from morning til night, only stopping to eat.

We do have a basic Mon-Fri plan and we take the weekends off (although when you're a home schooler, you're always learning as it becomes a way of life). We also take school holidays off because everyone else does. This 6 week holidays we spent the whole month in Vietnam and this offered learning like you wouldn't believe and so we have plenty of topics to cover over the next few months now were back to day to day home school.
