One Way to Raise a Family

In American Samoa,
I met a family
Living on a large tri-maran,
A three hulled ocean craft.
They were in the process
Of sailing around the world,
And the parents
Were home schooling
Their kids along the way.
They would study a country,
Then actually go there,
Learn the language
And experience
The culture first hand.
It seemed like
Such an idyllic way
For children to be raised,
And they were probably getting
The finest education
The world has to offer.
If I had it to do all over again,
I think that is the way
I would educate my kids too,
Watching them grow,
Being there every step
Of the way.
