worldschooling noun [U]
UK /ˌwɜːld.ˈskuː.lɪŋ/ US /ˌwɝːld.ˈskuː.lɪŋ/
a form of education where children travel the world and are taught by their parents rather than attending a traditional school
The rise of remote work, flexible lifestyles and the desire for meaningful family time has made worldschooling an appealing alternative to traditional schooling. Children do not simply learn about history, geography, science or languages in theory. They learn them as they live them. The world becomes the classroom, and travel becomes a catalyst for deeper learning.

Worldschooling is something that improves HET(Health, Education, and Technology) in theory, and I’m glad t hear about ths, but parents are not good at teaching, and it would work better in a Nature-guided Earth, not a Government-guided Earth.
