Issue paper- Jump out the box to see home schooling

Recently, home schooling becomes popular in the worldwide such as in America (2 million school-age students), Australia (1,878 families 3,children). But it is still not so popular in Taiwan. Although the home schooling gradually increases this years (last years 436 cases，this years 616 cases，growth 41％ ), the most parents still choose public school for children. However, lots of parents are not satisfied with the public school any more, there are  many problems in the public school system such as  children may learn the negative behavior, words and thinking in the public school. Consequently, the home education may be one of parent's choice.

But there is a huge issue that is home schooling really beneficial for children to grow up ? Is it appropriate for Taiwan's education?what is the positives and negatives ? What will I choose for my future children ? Shall I  be a teacher in the school or educate children at home ?

The motive for me to write this essay is that I am interesting in education ; my mother  would like to promote home schooling for people, and my sister may consider home schooling for her future children. .  But how about me? I think it again and again. First, I would like to share with you about my experience. I studied in the public school ; there was a home schooling child coming to our class one day. My classmate criticized the home schooling child that he was so strange and different from other people. Since he was quite silent, polite and pure . But my classmate could not accept this kind of simple boy, he was totally different from other student in public school. From then, I kept the confusion that whether home schooling was an eccentric thing and children would isolate from everyone. While I got the answer this summer camp after communicating with four home schooling's families who came from Virginia. I understand the mechanics and functions about the home schooling; I change my worst stereotype of home schooling.  I know that I had the peer and grade pressure in my  school life. And my daily life was full of test and lessons. I did not really know what my aim was in the future. I think that home schooling may provide time for children to search their dream early.

While there still exists the debate and severe problem in home schooling in Taiwan. I will discuss the opposition and find out the new solution to solve the problems . And  I would like to break down the myth of home schooling.

I collect some debate from the website (family education) about the home schooling.
