We have been seriously thinking about home schooling.
I carry Hotspot with me wherever we go with 18gb plan. Occasionally I will have to keep a close eye on the data near the end of the month, but that is usually only when I let the 12yr old connect his Kindle to it. Netflix will eat up data fast. If I keep the kid from binge watching on netflix, I rarely have an issue with hitting my limit.

We don't own the hot spot but I have a "legacy" unlimited data cell plan, we all have smartphones and my kids use a lot of data when traveling watching Netflix and You-Tube.

I have had an unlimited plan with Nextel since 2001 and when Sprint bought them it was grandfathered over. I can't tether but unlimited data, text and 1500 day phone minutes. It was a real hassle to upgrade to the Galaxy's last year but they let me do it and add a 4th phone. Of course the bill wasn't right and it required a few phone calls because the normal call support people have no idea about old plans. All is good now.

My son is a junior too. He'll be taking college courses next year. I currently have him, 8th grade, 3rd and K.
Both my boys are scouts and oldest getting his Eagle this year...fingers crossed...so they have done a ton of camping. We try to work as many camping trips around scout trips. We go a few days early so they have something to look forward to.
We have Venture Crew in our troop too.
My daughter's have a way to go but they are in American Heritage Girls. Newer organization like girl scouts but faith based. Not as much camping through them but my girl's come with to all the boy scout family campouts.
I figured Hotspot was how to do it but upping my data $$ scares me. Hard to find good coverage too lots of places we go. Want v to look into satellite Internet, that exists, right?

Our son made Eagle last year, had his Board of review within a week of his 18th birthday! Good luck with your guys, making that top rank is quite the accomplishment these days!
