I quit my normal life to live in a van & ‘un-school’ my kids – people say I’m setting them up to fail but they’re wrong

WHEN Birdie Wood ditched normal life to live in a van and ‘wild school’ her two young kids, plenty criticised her and accused her of “setting her kids up to fail”.

But the plucky single mum, 28, has no regrets, and insists she’s doing the right thing for daughters Fifer, four, and Mavie, two.

The trio travel the country in their £5K campervan, while Birdie lets them study “whatever they want” – with no set curriculum.
