I asked curiously, "Why? Is this child in poor health? "
At this time, the younger brother and sister explained: "No, his family's economic conditions are good, and his mother loves his children dearly." He wants to tutor himself and let his children go directly to the first grade next year. "
I was stunned. Although the state does not stipulate that children must go to kindergarten, it is not easy for a person to educate children at home.
It seems that the mother of the child is really not simple.
Many children abroad go to school at home. I've heard of this way of choosing to educate children at home instead of sending them to school. I just didn't expect this to happen around me.
I remember reading many foreign reports before. Some couples quit their jobs, travel around the world with their children and have family education at the same time. Some couples specially invite tutors to let their children study at home; Some couples cooperate with other parents and teach independently by subject at home. ...
Although there are various ways of education, one thing is the same after all, that is, children are not sent to school, and they are allowed to study in cultural classes at home.
To put it bluntly, it is a bit like our ancient private school education, but it is called "home school" or "home schooling" movement abroad, which emphasizes the right to choose education.
What is the difference between a home school and a private school? The home school mentioned here is not what we usually say. Outside the school, parents should also educate their children. Instead of participating in school education at all, I turned to family education and learning.
Compared with school education and private schools, the ways of family learning are more diversified, and there are usually three modes:
The first mode is to copy the school education system, the learning content is the same as that of school education, but the educational place has moved from school to home;
The second mode is that children dominate their own learning direction and learn at their own pace. Compared with formal learning, the learning content is more realistic.
This way is a bit similar to the scene in the movie "Admission Notice", which does not limit the learning content, and the learners decide what to learn and how to learn.
The third mode is between the above two ways, which combines systematic teaching and autonomous learning to let children learn under appropriate constraints and freedom.
The successful case of family education in China In fact, I first heard about the educational method of "family education", not in foreign reports, but in the fairy tale writer Zheng himself's report on tutoring his son.
Because Zheng also experienced the experience of "dropping out of school-staying at home" when he was a child, he was always dissatisfied with the education in the school. And when his son went to school, he became more determined.
It is said that once his son Zheng Yaqi said that a classmate in the class was late, and the teacher cursed in front of the whole class: "You can't eat shit hot!"
Zheng felt very depressed when he saw the teacher's morality and educational environment. After his son graduated from primary school, he no longer allowed his son to continue his school education, but compiled his own teaching materials and taught his son himself.
After Zheng's education, he mastered a certain ability, left home at the age of 18, started the magazine "Cpaing" with the savings earned by working, and then set up a company, which made his and his father's careers very successful.
Homeschooling is gradually emerging in China. Although Zheng Yaqi's career success is closely related to his father's resources, we can't copy it, but we must also admit that this is a successful case and a commendable attempt.
In recent years, some parents have tried to let their children "go to school at home". According to a survey, as of 20 17, the number of "home-schooling" children is about 6000.
Compared with the huge number of students in China, this proportion is small, but it also shows that a small number of parents in China not only do not recognize school education, but also start to let their children receive customized family education.
Of course, in order to let children "go to school at home", in addition to resisting the pressure from the surrounding groups, they also need to have some other conditions, such as parents' economic conditions, vision and time investment.
If conditions permit, will you let your children "go to school at home"? To be honest, I especially admire those parents who are tutoring their children. Even if they have a job with abundant time and income, or can accompany their children to study full-time, it takes a lot of courage to get out of this step.
If I were you, I wouldn't do it even if the economic conditions allowed.
First, I think many things have advantages and disadvantages. Although school education has shortcomings, it also has many advantages. Although home schools can teach students in accordance with their aptitude, its disadvantages are also obvious.
Second, although children are an important part, they should not be regarded as the whole of a person. Only by balancing all aspects of your life can you get the greatest happiness and life value.
However, the advantages of "home school" made me realize the importance of parents. In the future, I will try my best to reduce the bad influence of school education on children, do a good job in family education and let children grow up more perfectly.
