I mean... can she even access university if she wanted to? Her parents have done her a disservice by not giving her the formal qualifications nearly everyone in the UK has. Qualifications would have given her the foundation to do many different things, but her parents didn't seem to care and it I think it's really bad parenting! I remember in the Gran Canaria days, Darren arrogantly said "we're a family of entrepreneurs" and hence don't need formal education... what a ridiculous thing to say!I wonder whether Mia is considering University and whether that she would study in Costa Rica or another country, the UK for instance? Obviously, Uni is not for everyone and it can be more hassle than it's worth, however it could be really good for her socially if she has the necessary academic qualifications. I feel like at 17 I was already preparing my personal statement and starting to think seriously about where I would study and what I would do. She could even study Spanish and do really well! As Uni isn't just for the degree it's about growing up, and being independent as well, or that's what I like to tell myself
Sorry if this has been discussed before!
Ah sorry, I used to watch their channel when they first started and stopped soon after their youngest child was born, only recently have I sort of caught up on where they're at. I actually assumed that Mia would have done some sort of schooling, and would have at least enough GCSEs to do A-levels. I'm just so confused as to why a parent wouldn't encourage their child to have a backup plan of sorts, I get the impression that the parents look down on school in some way?I mean... can she even access university if she wanted to?

It's almost like they've tried to keep her infantilised and dependant on them, hence setting her up to be dependent on the coattails of the FizzFam channel. I think Mia would have loved to have done GCSEs and A-levels, go to uni and be independent... many people do. I think she'll come to regret not pushing to do her qualifications... it's not like you can't do them via distance learning, either! No excuse, every good parent knows that their kid needs basic qualifications for all sorts of reasons
I think they also look down on working for someone as well - think they want their children to pursue their own businesses and work for themselves like they do. Hence the no need for qualifications and they’ve already got the money to invest or for starting up their own business. That’s what I reckon they are thinking anywayAh sorry, I used to watch their channel when they first started and stopped soon after their youngest child was born, only recently have I sort of caught up on where they're at.

Oh but don’t you know? The kids melatonin/de-constructed water/vegan diet keeps them safe from everything?!I feel so uneasy watching these golf cart vlogs. I’m not sure if anybody remembers a year or so ago, the little girl Eva who fell off of a golf cart being driven slowly by a responsible adult. Her injuries were life changing. It makes me ill watching Sienna, Karma and Koa unsupervised on the golf cart whilst Darren and Georgie are up front and especially with Georgie driving. It only takes a second.
Don’t worry girl, if they get hurt they’ll feed the kids kombucha and heal them with CrystalsOh but don’t you know? The kids melatonin/de-constructed water/vegan diet keeps them safe from everything?!
but on a real note, I agree. Another poor parenting choice from Darren and Georgie
Mia is 16 and will be 17 this December. As you've applied to uni I'm assuming you'll be turning 18 by the end of this academic year whereas Mia will only be 17 by the end of the same time frame.
This is kinda old might have been talked about before, I don't come round here often
Sorry but how is it possible to be so uncoordinated. Really does my head in watching it ahaha
Also I'm 17 and just written my personal statement. I've received 4/5 offers for uni (just waiting on one to get back to me). I think I'm Mias age although I thought she was one school year below me for some reason. I do think her going to uni would do her good but I'm not sure it's possible. Definitely not in the UK because she'd need atleast a 4/5 in Maths and English to even start a foundation course.
i agree, if you are going to homeschool your children for whatever reason, you need to be fully committed to providing them with the same level of education they would receive in a regular school by hiring private tutors etc. Darren and Georgie really just give sienna random workbooks and call it homeschool. Such a joke and a disservice to their children.i just can’t agree with homeschooling at all. if anyone could teach why do teachers need qualifications to teach? homeschooling your children and teaching them yourself is wrongly assuming anyone could be a teacher
