當孩子不去學校

我們走這條路不是為了培養精英,也不是為了逃避學校的壓力。我們總是要像孩子那樣單純貼近主的心,尋求神對我們的旨意。正像我們所經歷的,祂帶我們走上這條路,祂也賜下所需的一切資源和能力。

A girl looks at suitcases hung from the ceiling. Looking back now, the formation of the Mobile School was not man-made but arranged. We only needed to follow the guidance resolutely. Although the "Long March" has just begun, "a single spark can start a prairie fire!"

Church Schools or Home Schooling? Part 2

In September, the mainland site Christian Times published a piece originally posted on the China Home Schooling Alliance website about Christian education in China.

On the Horns of an Educational Dilemma

American Christian parents face tough decisions about to how to best provide for their children’s education. But the toughest part is often deciding between a comparatively rich supply of good and legal options – local Christian schools, homeschooling (with a nearly overwhelming array of good curriculum and  models), co-ops, hybrid homeschool/co-op, on-line Christian school, sometimes a good public school influenced by Christian teachers and administrators. All these choices offer their children a quality education and a clear path into college and the workplace.

Consider the two basic choices facing Chinese Christian parents.
