What happens when homeschooling leaves the house and hits the open road? In this episode of The Ex-Homeschoolers Club, I'm sitting down with Robin (aka BG Barnstormer), a former homeschooling mom who spent three years educating her kids while living full-time in an RV. Robin shares how a rotating pilot schedule led her family to homeschooling, how community support shaped their early years, and what really happens when learning differences, sensory needs, and emotional regulation collide in 350 square feet. Whether you’re a homeschool parent, an ex-homeschooler, or just curious about alternative education paths, this episode is packed with practical insight and lived experience.

*Key Topics Covered*

- Why a nontraditional work schedule pushed the family toward homeschooling

- Building community through Classical Conversations and homeschool co-ops

- Recognizing reading challenges, dyslexia, dysgraphia, and tracking issues

- The power of audiobooks for kids with learning differences

- Emotional regulation tools and “quiet corners” for kids (and adults)

- How homeschooling in an RV forces flexibility and creativity
