Family friendly school?

Having a toddler living on a truck that runs a team operation? Really?

 

I never thought of this as an option. There are home schooling opportunities everywhere on the road just make sure you go to your local district office and sign up for the option. They should have a school curriculum that they can provide which should include books and manuals that can be adapted for your child.

I home schooled my kid for 18 months while she was ill and she was able to move ahead of her classmates.

Just know that you are going to be tired and she is going to get bored without a super structured learning environment.

If you work for a company that has lots of waiting around time it's not going to be a problem really. Kids are happier with their parents. But if you are go-go-go bumping docks, you may not have enough time in your schedule to educate her and grow her curiosity.

Best of luck!

 

I never gave you my opinion, I can assure you that you don't want it

 

Can't think of any company that would allow a toddler in a truck that is a team operation. Would any insurer even consider it? What a ludicrous proposition. I can hear the disbelief in the voice of any fm or dm being asked that

 

Some parents believe their needs come before their children's. I'm not here to judge, but, seems pretty selfish. I have a good friend who took his 8 yr old son out over the road for 2 yrs...homeschooled him in the truck. Made sure to stop, get hotel rooms, go sightseeing exct...to break up the monotony of OTR life...however, social interaction with peers of his child's age was limited, acquaintances he made all over the country never turned into friendships due to demands of runnin "next load". It took its toll...he is now a Day Trader, bought a home with the $ saved by trucking...now, his son leads a more normal life, grounded.

 

Well......if that statement seemed rude there is no way to make on the road. Schooling isn't the problem I see. I wouldn't advise anyone to have there kids with them anywhere around truck stops etc.

Does your kid have cousins? Problem solved.... Skype or FaceTime...

Monotony of you going to a deadend job in misery, coming home exhausted and uninterested in anything but sleep. Working to pay bills... Hmmmmm

Or a child with both parent taking turns interacting in a real way. Reading books, visiting sites, completing school work, eating together... Being a family.

Sounds like a win-win.
