Road school: learning through exploration and experience

Frustrated by a regime of statutory testing, and keen for a mid-life adventure, Sue Cowley and her partner took their children out of school to educate them on the road.

This is the story of their family's adventures around Europe and across China.

On their journey they experienced awesome historical sites, diverse cuisines and fantastic geographical phenomena.

They also experienced whining kids, satnav disasters and dodgy accommodation.

Part comedy travelogue, part parenting guide, part educational philosophy, the book asks you to consider what 'an education' really means.
