Reflection 1

               

Reflection 1 (Teacher and student first conference)

The first conference with the teacher makes me rethink about my essay further. I lack of a sense of broaden insight to face challenges of difficulties beyond the perfect ideal of homeschooling. Although it seems to be wonderful to persuade people to accept the varieties of benefits, there still exist the serious problems in homeschooling such as the fierce conflict between parents and children, abusing of verbal or body toward children or financial problems. There are many important aspects of homeschooling waiting for revealing and discussion, and I shall turn my way to focus on “homeschooling doesn't work.”

The two opposite sides of homeschooling in the article shall be more powerful and makes people feel both reasonable but hard to make the decision; at the end, I shall make the resolution and compare them in order. I need to stand at the opposite side of homeschooling to get the viewpoints and to respond toward the supportive side of homeschooling by using side by side or point by point; otherwise, my essay will just write the knowledge that people have already known. What I need to do is to uncover the real truth beyond the idealism and perfection of homeschooling and find out the reason to deal with the difficulties and set up the new strategy.

Besides, I can provide some new information of the new way of homeschooling such as learning together with the other family of homeschooling in community (collective homeschooling community)or learning online with the innovative technology at home with parents; not only telling people the traditional fashion of homeschooling but also the present and the future condition and expectation. Thanks to the peer comments, I will discuss more part of socialization(overprotect parents) and economic (double-incomes) problems of home education; I will also try to find out the examples of Taiwanese and compare western and oriental (especially in Taiwan )homeschooling. In addition, the books of suggestion are beneficial for me to read and learn from them. As for my essay construction, I will notice about the coherence between example and issue and also the forms of the quotations and references. 

In conclusion, I get the significant point and key to write a good professional essay; that is, I shall own the deep and wide vision to observe the questions and key points rather than using my stereotype and emotion to judge or ignore the other opinion. I shall stand on the high place to see whole the world thoroughly instead of staying at my narrow and inadequate knowledge to represent the globe. No matter in writing essay or being the wisdom leader or a researcher, I shall value the benefits in the both majority and individuals, and use the objective way to view the issue instead of following the trend of sight.
