Click here to listen, and subscribe to the Duke TIP Podcast at Apple Podcasts!

Meet Tina and Chris and their sons Elijah and Riley. They’re a homeschooling TIP family that’s decided to take their life on the road and live in a renovated school bus full-time. On this episode of the Duke TIP Podcast, we tell their story. 

Keep up with the family’s adventures at weliveonabus.com and on Instagram (@weliveonabus).

We also talk with Jennifer Lois, a professor of sociology at Western Washington University and author of Home Is Where the School Is: The Logic of Homeschooling and the Emotional Labor of Mothering, and Jennifer Jolly, a professor in the College of Education at the University of Alabama and the author of A History of American Gifted Education.



    Do you have a story idea for us? Has your TIPster accomplished something great? If so, we'd love to hear from you.
