How travelling the world allows new ways to educate children and
perform family life on the move A growing number of families are
selling their houses, quitting their jobs, and taking their
children out of traditional school settings to educate them while
traveling the globe. In The World is Our Classroom, Jennie Germann
Molz explores the hopes and anxieties that drive these parents and
children to leave their comfortable lives behind out of a desire to
live the “good life” on the move. Drawing on interviews with
parents and stories from the blogs they publish during their
journeys, as well as her own experience traveling the world with
her ten-year-old son, Germann Molz takes us inside a fascinating
life spent on trains, boats, and planes. She shows why many
parents—disillusioned with standard public schooling—believe
the world is a child’s best classroom. Rebelling against
convention, these parents combine technology and travel to pursue a
different version of the good life, one in which parents can work
remotely as “digital nomads,” participate in like-minded
communities online, and expose their children to the risks,
opportunities, and life lessons that the world has to offer.
Ultimately, Germann Molz sheds light on the emerging phenomenon of
“worldschooling,” showing that it is not just an alternative
way to educate children, but an altogether new kind of mobile
lifestyle. The World is Our Classroom paints an extreme portrait of
twenty-first century parenting and some families’ attempts to
raise global citizens prepared to thrive in the uncertain world of
tomorrow.
