Home School 家庭學校


The type of school has a big influence on a child’s education. As most of you who know us already know, we home school our children. As with anything new, home schooling provokes a variety of strong emotions in the public, from curiosity and joy to fear and anger. Its popularity is a new phenomena 是這幾年才有的現象, but I feel that we are on the crest of new wave of educational change. Even in the short time we have been doing it, we have seen an enormous growth in the home school group we are a part of.

The main purpose of the schoolroom seems to have been socialization into society 主要是為了適應社會生活, whatever the prevailing norms were. With better overall education and disagreement about what the prevailing norms should be, more and more parents are taking control of their children’s education. 因為目前人家的教育程度夠高 , 所以越來越多父母覺得孩子的教育應該是在自己的掌握中. Home schooling is happening in the United States, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Japan and probably Western Europe as well so it is a fairly international phenomenon. We meet so many interesting parents doing interesting things, (back-to-nature types, parents of child prodigies, and cross-cultural Christian couples like ourselves) in our home school group. Home schooling allows us to give our children a good bi-cultural, bilingual Christian education.

I finally caught one of our 3 year old son’s girlfriends on video 錄像剪輯. Well, this two year old more likes to beat up on him and play with his toys, but she’s cute and it is fun to watch them interact.
