Hello Aryn !
I did not think about considering the term “worldschool”. I can see this with how the parents exchanges ideas for making the learning process engaging.
I found that homeschooled students are more involved with community service that the general population ( Seiver & Pope, 2022 ). It is usually encouraged by the homsechool parents as they are the ones finding ways for their children to interact with other peers and community members.
