Host: Good afternoon everyone, and welcome to “The Daily Talk”! that I will be hosting today.

Some
of you might have heard of world schooling, but for the benefit of the doubt I will give you a brief
definition, world schooling is a newer “buzzword” type of homeschooling that occurs both inside and
outside the home. In fact, it occurs on a global scale.

For families who worldschool, the world is their classroom. They travel together, using their trips as
opportunities to learn about different areas, cultures, languages and histories.

With the help of our special guests, we will be discussing about the world schooling its benefits and
drawbacks.

Let’s have a round applause to MS El Missaoui and MS Dia. (crowd applause and cheer).

Welcome to “The Daily Talk”, and thank you for being with us today. It is a pleasure to meet you
both.

Guest 1: the pleasure is ours Mrs. Semaya

Guest 2: thank you for having us here.

Host : you are welcome, so MS Dia you had a great experience while world schooling with your
family, in the other hand MR El Missaoui your experience might not have been as great. So, we will
be listening to both of your feedbacks and see what points you are going to put forth in favour of and
against the topic.

I believe that world schooling is an excellent way for children to learn and explore the world around
them. By traveling to different countries and experiencing different cultures, children can gain a
broader perspective on the world and become more open-minded individuals.

So, MR El Missaoui we would like to know your opinion about world schooling.

Guest 2: While I agree that travel can be a great way to learn, I don't think world schooling is the
most effective way for children to receive a well-rounded education. There are plenty of
opportunities to learn about other cultures without traveling, and traditional schooling provides a
more structured and comprehensive education.

Host: guest1, can you explain how world schooling provides a unique learning experience that
traditional schooling cannot?

Guest 1: Certainly. This firsthand experience is something that cannot be replicated in a classroom
setting. It allows children to learn in a more organic way and gain a deeper understanding and
appreciation of the world. World schooling allows children to learn hands-on.

Consider teaching a child about Thomas Edison by taking them to the Thomas Edison National
Historic Park. Your child isn’t learning about Thomas Edison by reading paragraphs from a page; they
are learning about Thomas Edison by walking through his home and lab.

In this instance, history becomes more “real” to them — and it’s better consumed. As you world
school, your child will absorb more information and will have a vivid, memorable connection to it.
World schooling turns everything into an experience and lets the student connect to things like
history and science on a personal level.
Guest2: okay I see that travel can be an enriching experience, but there are plenty of resources
available for children to learn about other countries and cultures, including books, documentaries,
and online resources. Additionally, learning about different cultures isn’t enough for the children
education and traditional schooling covers a wide range of subjects.

Guest1: While it's true that there are resources available for learning about other cultures, they
cannot replace the experience of actually traveling to different countries. Reading about a culture is
not the same as experiencing it firsthand. And to respond to your other point, we can also take
online classes to keep up with more subjects.

Host: I do agree that children need a well-rounded education that includes a variety of subjects and a
solid foundation in core academic areas. And, the lack of consistency in worldschooling can lead to
gaps in a child's education that could affect them later in life. So MR Dia did online schools really
work you for?

Guest1: It worked. As i get older more and more of my learning comes from my own reading and
online explorations. I read, I am technologically competent, I know many subjects, I can do maths,
and I passed my online exams. They’re the proof that this works.

Host: what about the cost of world schooling? How did you manage to afford it?

Guest2: Travel can be a valuable experience, but it's not practical or affordable for everyone.
Traditional schooling provides a more accessible and consistent education for children, regardless of
their background or financial situation, while World schooling can be incredibly expensive and only
accessible to those with the means to travel extensively.

Guest1: I understand your concern, but with proper planning and budgeting, you can make your
world schooling adventure both memorable and affordable. For example, you can create a budget
plan to help you understand your expenses while traveling.

Choose low-cost destinations, countries where the cost of living is relatively low, such as Southeast
Asia or Central America. This can significantly reduce your travel expenses.

Take advantage of free activities: Look for free or low-cost activities in the places you're visiting. You
can explore local parks, museums, and cultural landmarks without spending much money.

Consider working remotely or starting a digital nomad business to generate and earn income while
traveling.

Also travel slow: Rather than hopping from one destination to another quickly, slow down and spend
more time in one place. This allows you to immerse yourself in the local culture and reduces
transportation costs.

Host: World schooling is not without its challenges, and it certainly requires a lot of planning,
preparation, and flexibility on the part of parents and children alike. But for those who are willing to
put in the effort, I believe that the rewards are well worth it.

Thank you both for your insightful arguments. We've covered a lot of ground so far, and I'd like to
move on to another important aspect of this topic. Let's discuss the impact of world schooling on a
child's social development. MR El Missaoui, what do you think about the social benefits of world
schooling?
Guest1: I’ve never attended a “proper” school. Isn’t it terrible? How can anyone possibly expect me
to cope in a social environment? How do I LEARN anything? Naturally, I must be awkward and
uncomfortable around other people!

Guest2: Some people say that something world school children miss is the socialization of school; but
this is only one form of socialization (and not always a healthy one). Meanwhile, world school kids
will often have to figure out how to get on with diverse groups of people of different ages, social
backgrounds, religious beliefs, and so forth. What a better way to prepare for the “real world”.

Host: Both of you presented compelling arguments about the benefits and drawbacks of world
schooling.

In the end, it's clear that world schooling is a valuable option for some people, but it's not the best
choice for everyone. We encourage our audience to consider their own needs and preferences when
deciding on an educational path.
Overall, while I believe that world schooling has its merits in theory, I think that in practice it often fails to
live up to its potential and can actually be detrimental to a child's education and wellbeing.

Thank you to our guests for their thoughtful contributions, and thank you to our audience for tuning
in. We hope you found this debate informative and engaging.
