I’m spending the week with three charming gentlemen who regale me with tales of their epic world travels. They describe the sheep on Scotland’s Isle of Skye, the vegetarian sharks in Belize, the sugar in Costa Rica, and the beaches in Cannes.
From grown men, it might be braggy, but because these are my nephews — a 14-year-old and twin 10-year-olds — it’s sort of astonishing.
They’re bopping around the globe with their parents full-time and gleaning their education from the sights, cultures, and adventures they encounter. It’s called world-schooling, and it’s a thing now (see the 12,000 members of the We Are Worldschoolers Facebook group).
