ROADSCHOOLING IN TEXAS : RV Full time w/9 kids

A huge part of why we decided to hit the road with our 9 kids and start traveling full time is that we knew that actually visiting historic sites and experiencing the world first person would deepen their appreciation and understanding exponentially. This is what some of us in the homeschooling community call Road-schooling. Road-schooling is hitting the road and educating your children through experiences and interactions with the world. After the kids see and learn things they might go home and investigate things further if they are interested and excited. It also fits into the category of Worldschooling or Unschooling. Check out what a day of road-schooling looks like while we're in Texas!

I love how hard Eve was trying to be good in the Cathedral.

[@julieyang2802]

Eve was so cute in the church/chapel with her hands 🙏

[@Ari-de8hq]

I loved what you said to your children about different belief systems after you left the cathedral. I think it's admirable that you're teaching them that there's more that different doesn't equal wrong when it comes to religions other than what you personally practice.

[@lizvs5864]

Ariana Conway yes, I'm catholic but I don't judge people on what they believe in. I've been told by people of different Christian denominations why my faith is wrong and I dislike that, we all love Jesus as Megan said. They are an awesome family!

[@loucee222]

We did 3 week camping trips with our 3 kids in the summer, all over the US. Lots of work for Mom, driving for Dad. Kids got to see almost all 50 states. Love nature now, and critters. Never regretted the sacrifices. It's what good parents do.

[@janmata4449]

Meghan, you are such a great mommy. As a Catholic I really liked the way you explained our religion to your kids. When my kids were young one of the families we played baseball with told my child that he could not come over because we were Catholic and were not Christians. I love that you told your kids that while we practice differently we are all just trying to be good people. I adore your videos. I don't normally comment but I really want to thank you. Praying for a safe journey.

[@damini5773]

Jude is just getting cuter and cuter haha

[@isamartinez622]

I absolutely love your family and everybody's individual story! Beautiful! 💕

[@lizs1295]

I just love your beautiful family! I've watched every single video and just can't get enough. Such loving parents raising beautiful children, inside and out. Oh, and I had to laugh because the hotel rooms look spacious compared to your RV 💜

[@nolsp7240]

I don't know if this is possible or not. Maybe you can ask your US-based subs. Try taking your kids to more "unorthodox" educational sites - house construction sites, shipyards, car repair and restoration shops, fishing ports/fish markets, etc. Anyway, just a suggestion.

[@garmondoessht4556]

I'm supposed to be doing homework, instead I'm watching all your vids ❤️ devotion right there

[@Bb1991]

Your family is amazing! Love your videos and your compassion!

[@thekebs2288]

[@ArielsArmy]

I enjoy watching your adventures. I look forward to each one. I pray for Safe travels.

[@catdreaminginthesun6901]

Eve is truly destined for the stage isn't she? She's such a brilliant girl. A true star!

[@nojud3547]

I think it's amazing that you guys travel the country and visit tons of places with your family it's such a beautiful thing

[@yvonnestrong6221]

I love how you are teaching your kids about different faiths. That wad a beautiful Cathedral! Have a nice day who ever is reading this💜

[@Peggyanns]

As a practicing Roman Catholic, thank you for showing the Cathedral. It is truly magnificent.

[@maggie2sticks717]

The cool thing about San Fernando Cathedral is that the heroes from the Battle of the Alamo are interned there even though they were not Catholic.

[@laoiseodonovan4206]

Your family is GOALS❤️ Love from IRELAND💚🇮🇪☘

[@meganrichardson6471]

You guys have so many subscribers! I'm so happy for you!

[@KnorppandSouth11]

+Megan Richardson - yay! Thank you!

[@Momo97hehe]

I love the fact you guys do that, in eighth grade I remember sitting in my counselors office and saying "if I have have kids I want to teach them by showing them the world" and that's what you guys are doing and it's absolutely amazing

[@happilyhomeschoolinginiowa455]

A little dancing, a little singing and a whole lot of learning.

[@monicavasquez194]

I love you guys! me and my husband plan on full time rv-ing as well!

[@KnorppandSouth11]

[@ammynijjar9415]

[@crazycatmomma851]

I hope you had the opportunity to walk the River Walk, it's so beautiful especially when lit up at night!

[@colinrert5121]

Great vid enjoyed it

[@KIM-kp9tq]

I homeschool/unschool all my kids till 8, just because I like them to be children, and not be put into education so young. However they go at 8 because the reality is, for my children to have jobs they want (in my case my boys would love to he doctors atm), that pay well, and go to university, they need to get good grades at school, so we. Put them in at 8 so that they learn all the required spec to pass their exams, to allow them to go anywhere they want. But that's just what works best for us 😂

[@redrose1N]

That's great, you are thinking about your kids future and making sure that every option is available for them when they grow up! you are truly an amazing parent and great example for new parents :)

[@KnorppandSouth11]

+Chloe Manners - that's a great plan! I think the most important part is being an intentional parent. That's really what makes the difference for our kids, I think!

[@KIM-kp9tq]

Knorpp and South for sure! Really all I want for them is to be happy, good caring children, that's all that matters at the end of the day. I think we are both doing great jobs. Parenting is for sure not always easy, I have 5 and I do find myself tearing my hair out occasionally, but it's all worth it ☺️

[@KIM-kp9tq]

need job not really, I'm just a bad typer, not used to using a smart phone. Maybe don't be so judgemental, my children are intelligent, and I'm actually a doctor as well, however I had to give up for my children.. So, I think I can homeschool my kids just fine ;)

[@KIM-kp9tq]

need job ok then. If insulting people is what makes you happy, go ahead. I really am not offended by people like you. I don't think from one paragraph you can tell my intelligence, but sure, what ever😂 good luck to you. I hope every bit of text you write on your phone is absolutely grammatically perfect ;)

[@kellyj.goodgoldberger4012]

Loving Peter's hair! I agree, wish we knew what he was saying. He's a neat kiddo.

[@tabithacampos6376]

Wow mikes the man! Being able to back up the big van in that tiny parking spot with all the yammering going on

[@mamalikeme8275]

I love your videos. You guys are great! The peewee Herman references were amazing. That's how I should teach. 🤔😊

[@marfarnworth]

Its amazing to see you guys somewhere I recognize, I am 18 and from England, the only time I have ever been to america was last summer when I traveled on my own to visit family friends in Texas, we visited Galveston and Houston (where they live) as well as San Antonio and Dallas, It was a life changing trip for me and my 2nd ever flight so it is really nice to see you guys exploring the amazing city like I did.

[@TheJoyofFamily]

We are Catholic. Thank you for showing the cathedral! Your family is awesome!

Just found y'all channel and love y'all and the family I live in Houston and I can't believe y'all where just here I wish I knew more about y'all before y'all came how cool tho wish I also wen to the meet up don't leave Houston yet well tx

[@cjchan13]

you guys should visit the southern california soon, beautiful family

[@crooksdiva214]

I also wanted to leave a comment for pearl. Sweetie you are absolutely beautiful. I admire your uniqueness who others call a flaw. I've always been one to admire those with different abilities and uniqueness. You will encounter some who will stare or talk about you but remember this I'm also different as well not the same as you but in my own way and I say this all the time they laugh at me because I'm different but I laugh at them because they're all the same. you shine so bright and I enjoy watching you and your family. much Love from the crooks xoxoxox.......

[@andrulindgren7822]

you guys are so insporation i just want to live in a rv now

[@KnorppandSouth11]

+Andru lindgren - ❤

[@matzmaw21]

Love your videos and exteme patience and love you show each and every one of your kids. Jut wondering how you handle eating out on your excursions with such a huge family. Seems like it would cost an arm and a leg for each meal and snacks, if you do them. I would have a terrible time budgeting feeding that many active children. Would love to see how you actually do it.Hugs for you and your gorgeous family. And the both of you are incredibly caring and veryyyyyyyyyyyyyyy level headed.

[@alvari13ify]

I do not know if you guys have ever been to the missions before. It is a very nice place to look around and has a huge historical background! I live in San Antonio!

[@watermark086]

I loved that you visit a Catholic Church/Cathedral. I am a catholic believer and was amased by all your respect towardes the customs of the Catholic church (Sorry for the bad Englisch) in the end we all believe in the one and only loving God

[@benlvscoops]

love your video you have a beautiful family

[@KnorppandSouth11]

+ben foulds - thanks, dude! 🕺🏽

[@benlvscoops]

Knorpp and South your more than welcome do you think you would be adding any more to the family or a pet xx

[@damini5773]

Come to SMU! We are a beautiful private university in Dallas! And uptown and downtown are just 10-15 minutes away

[@KatiePepperSpark]

What an amazing way to receive an education! You seemed really knowledgable! Do you have to read up on things like the construction beforehand? I can imagine that the kids will have a lot of questions as well, which is great, but I don't think my parents were able to answer all my questions as a kid. Do you find that a struggle?

[@jhessycarrillorodriguez8714]

i ❤ your family

[@fatdogtrading]

Mike, looks like you wanted to follow that sweet bike (motorcycle) at 8:30

[@aimeebenson1876]

You guys are so cute☺️

If you make your way to Austin you have to stop at Torchy's tacos. It's an Austin original and some of the best tacos you will ever eat!

[@cookbhygggitergg8255]

In class we learned about the Alamo and santa Anna and Stephen F. Austin

Have you had any trouble finding parks to accommodate your larger RV? We are looking at a 39 foot travel trailer and are just not sure about the size.

[@crooksdiva214]

wish ya'll could come up here to dallas would love to show ya'll around xoxoxox.......

[@conurh]

will you guys be traveling europe anytime? if so, stop by norway 🇳🇴

[@madi6595]

Hi, New subscriber here! But I already love the channel. I've secretly been binge watching video after video that you all have posted! I love the idea of living in an RV while you all travel from state to state, that is pretty impressive, especially with 11 people! Also, I love that you guys put stickers on the back of the van and then fill in the map on the back of the RV when ever you guys get to a new state, such cool thing to do! But I do have a question. What was your guys' favorite state that you have been to? I live in Colorado and I love it here! Much love for all 11 of you from a new subscriber!

[@KnorppandSouth11]

+Madi - we really don't have a favorite! We've loved so many! America really does have such an incredibly diverse landscape!

[@madi6595]

If I was to travel the states I'm not sure if I would be able to pick a favorite either!

[@AuroraR]

Have you ever visited the San Jacinto monument and the Battleship Texas in La Porte?

[@sharistuff]

If you make it to central Alabama, I would love to host your family, I have a 20 acre tract of land by my house, with a lake, and a adobe dome. Your videos are so tight. Congrats on a wonderful story, sure beats the crap out of TLC.

[@michelleedwards505]

Cute top, Megan!

[@elizabethmendez8001]

Come visit Austin!! ❤

[@wanjones7141]

I love your videos, just one question, why does the child sitting behind you in the passenger side never seem to have his seat belt on?

[@cathyannehey2708]

Yay

[@kanetakchoudhury2283]

re the road schooling - do you prepare beforehand? ie when you decide to visit a place do you read up on the history yourself?

[@BrisonArnold]

You have to visit the Pearl Complex in SA, you will love it, it has the Culinary Institute of America (CIA) San Antonio campus. It is just north of Downtown and should be on your paper map.

[@heidigib01]

better than any book

[@banannajwz2345]

[@raleighamelia7895]

Just wondering how much longer is the RV trip they are going on? Btw seems like a ton of fun! :)

[@KnorppandSouth11]

+Raleigh Amelia - probably about another 8 or 9 months! Maybe more, maybe less!

[@djterry1218]

You're so funny! He parked the van not piloted a jet! Lol

[@rvcircuitrider9540]

Go see the Buck Horn Museum......it is loaded with history, and awesome to see. :)

[@poppycopper1]

Do you go through it all again in home school i.e. Why Catholics light candles ? Love your vlog. Poppy from uk x

[@thenanlife1141]

Eve is soo cute ❤❤❤

[@SR-hk6jb]

I'm curious about state homeschooling regulations. What state regs do you follow, and how was that determined? We're planning on getting a 5th wheel soon and will be homeschooling, and that's one concern of mine.

[@thetapequeen5489]

Your kids did an awesome job at being quiet and respectful in the cathedral. I have a question about child-lead home schooling. How do you make sure the kids learn basic reading and math if they don't want to study those things? Please know that I'm not being critical, just curious about how this method of learning works.

[@KnorppandSouth11]

+TheTapeQueen - when given the choice, math and reading are enjoyable and exciting to learn about. We think they're laborious and boring because of how they're presented but my kids love talking about math and grammar and literature.

[@jessica_fairbairn938]

mabey once your kids leave home or you ever feel like going across to the other side of the world, you should come to New Zealand. You can hire caravans/campervans/RVs and there are sooo many incredible things to look at, from kapreanga which is at the top to Stuart island which is at the very bottem. It should take you less than a year, i think but I'm just guessing.

[@jessica_fairbairn938]

sorry if that does't make any sense

Have you taken your kids to the Alamo in San Antonio!

[@irishcreamspringgreen782]

How in the world do you all keep track of everyone....when there so many of you all ?

[@amaandahf5047]

I just have a question, What are your plans for schooling when you get off the road and back home? Cause I assume that you cant just take your kids to places around you all the time... This is by no means hate I am just curious cause I am going into the homeschooling realm and it interests me

[@GuerinGrad09]

I really enjoy watching your family. You all seem to have great kids. One thing I am concerned about though is the fact that some of your children don't wear their seat belts property. If your kids don't wear their chest belt they run an extremely high risk of hitting their heads on the seat in front of them and getting a severe whip lash in a car accident. Hitting their heads on the seat in front of them runs a much greater risk of a traumatic brain injury than if they were wearing their chest belt. I am just trying to help, not be annoying. I hope you can understand. I am excited to see where you go next and what you will do. I wanted to ask how you chose an 18 month road trip versus a 1 or 2 year road trip. I am also interested to know what you might do after your RV trip comes to an end. :)

[@AshleighNicoleTobin]

I have a question about unschooling. I believe that in the US children must be enrolled in school. So how do your children not go to school but ot's okay? I;m just curious. I love the videos though.

[@scottybateman7033]

See, I grew up in Bowie county TX, and the locals all say "BOO-ee", but you're from Texas too, so now I don't know!
