I follow a few YouTube channels of people who live on sailboats and travel the world full-time, and some of them have kids. Having a transient lifestyle like that seems like one of the few relatively legitimate excuses for homeschooling, to me.

Having a transient lifestyle like that sounds like you shouldn't have children, at least to me.

I strongly disagree, for me a transient lifestyle like that can be great for kids. Discovering different cultures, new way of living, new languages is extremely enriching.

I'm a bit biased since I lived in 9 differents places in 3 different countries before I was 12.

However I have never been homeschooled so I can't give an opinion on homeschooling. There is schools part of the French educational network everywhere around the world so I've been able to stay in the French education system even when living in Africa.

But I know that people sailing around the world are able to maintain their kid education. I don't know for other countries but in France there is the "CNED" that gives material to study remotely, the parents uses the material to teach the kids and there is regularly tests that the kid send back (online now but it was by mail before) to be evaluated by real teachers.
