在英美home schooling 只要符合條件,是合法的, 而且開始多了人家教育孩子. 在香港,除非有好特殊情況(例如外地暫住工作的外國人). 政府是否應考慮香港市民也有home schooling 的選擇權呢?

In H.K. children must go to school, otherwise their parents will be sent to the jail. My friend is Canadian and she was not happy with H.K. schools. She kept her children at home and taught them herself. I am not too sure it is the right thing to do. My point of view is that children go to school to learn knowledge and to learn social skills.

Homeschooling in HK is illegal without resonable excuse. In other words, homeschooling is legal with valid reasons (eg: the homeschooling can provide the kids with well-round education).

I have searched the web and found there are quite a few homeschooling kids in HK.

我們的香港政府連最基本的教育制度都弄得一塌胡塗,她又怎會有智慧去考慮home schooling呢?

我諗樓主只係講要有"選擇權",而唔係"代替"主流教育.然而,家陣香港政府係講"管治",係管你治你,所以行緊的是X年強迫免費教育政策.重點在於"免費"二字,也在於"強迫"二字.

其實，返學唔代表唔可以home schooling 。如果有心教，父母在家中一樣可以教課室以外嘅嘢。無必要一定either one 。
除非好不滿學校教學，又或者對自已教學方法好有信心，否則即屬少數。
我諗home schooling多數都係應用於學前兒童為主(如錯請更正)，直到小學或大個啲都會入返正式學校。其實論學術，home schooling 的確更有效針對自已小朋友發展，但社交方面即無咁全面。

香港地，一個連参加課外活動都要講cert.嘅地方，就算政府推行，邊個會去試？除非有先例話home schooling 學生大量被名校所收，否則都幾難。 ( Haha 不過，相信到時會出現一啲'home schooling 補習社' 之類，以保送入名校吸引家長。)
父母質素有待商確。最近新聞7歲阿仔當街鬧父親，home schooling 對香港嚟講層次太高，不如實際啲，先講返子女家教吧。

我又覺得,home schooling冇市場不是主流是一回事,政府是否容許,又是另一回事.或者社會上有少數非主流的父母,有能力有資源去做幾年的home schooling?我是支持提供這一選擇(home schooling)~雖然我不是有能力有資源去提供幾年home schooling的家長.

這,令我諗起梁道靈小妹妹的新聞,大家還記得嗎?

除非小朋友身体有特殊情況、如自閉、情緒病等，要悉心照料，又或者迎合一些要四處漂遊工作的家長，否則，我想推行home schooling 最大的原因係家長唔認同大部份學校教學，覺得自已子女在家學，會比去學校學得更好。據知好多選擇home schooling的美國家長係因為太多校園暴力、濫藥等問題。

如果可以將home schooling的理念推行在學校中(因材施教，小班教學，給予更大自由讓學生發揮，就如Tippi所尊重的生活教育...可行嗎?)
像芬籣等優質教學的北歐國家，唔知當地父母對home schooling 的渴求又會唔會一樣？
唔知呢，我覺得home schooling 有點樣'自救行動'。你教不如我教。對有條件和合資格的家長來說，home Schooling 當然係多個選擇。

我都是最近才知，曾有好幾個家長一起做Home School來代替主流學校，但有些科目再請人來教，她說她們跟美國一套教學方法去做，有同教署申請，教署定期去查核，而且她們不是在家中，而是集中在一個地方。我朋友的朋友那兩個女兒由兒時至今，現在大那個有十三歲，不過聽聞現在又有另一轉變，不過最新如何我不太清楚。
