For many parents, school allows them to take good care of their children and they can focus on their careers. Yet others instead want to be fully involved in their family's educational journey. Thus, some choose to homeschool.
This Brut feature shows two clans that have literally based their lifestyle on this educational approach. Bigs and littles study at the same time and embark on educational projects thought up by their parents. Indeed, these had to present a didactic plan to the state in addition to being controlled by inspectors to ensure that the children were at the same level.

As a result, for them, the thinking wavers between accepting a return to the school or exiling themselves elsewhere in Europe.
