  3. I am of opinion that there isn't the same learning effect of homeschooling as in school. At home, by one on one learning, you could get some misconception and misleading knowledge from those who don't have expertise. Then, you may spend much more time in the future to correct the misconception. that has been deeply rooted in your mind. Homeschooling could also cause bad effect on learning by yourselves. You lose ambition to obtain extra knowledge, and you are gradually lacked of the interest of searching information. There is another bad effect on homeschooling. If you continue to learning at home, you will get isolation with other people and lose contact with others. Because there are so many bad effects on homeschooling, so I don't think homeschooling is a good way in learning.

  4. Although homeschooling may be a good alternative to study,
    i do not feel it is better than public schooling.
    In my opnion,because teachers have thier expertise to teach students,and
    when we encouter problems in curriculum,we can ask some professional consultation from teachers!
    The most reason I oppose homeschooling is that homeschooling may give rise to isolation from other people.
    Maybe it is me that like to play with other classmates ,and chat with them.
    Thus I support public schooling !

  5. There still have many disputions and debate in thw modern world.In my opinion,I object learning unschool because children can't absord knowledge directly.

    Although homeschooling can let your kids know how to take a balance between work and extracurricular activities, it also let your children be isolated.

    At school,the professor with expertise will help you to deeply realize what he said and what he want to express.Teachers also will solve your misconception.Second,unlike homeschooling,you can learn how to adjust yourself to a new environment.

    Last but not least,homeschooling might disturb you if you don't have persistence to support you!

  6. I think homeschooling is an alternative and good way to learn. It is not suitable to everyone to go school to accept the uniform and traditional courses. If we spend more 6 hours every to learn everyday, it will compress our time and make us too tired to decrease our interests to learn. If I am unschool today, I can do what I want to do and adjust my time to learn or relax. In my opinion, homeschooling is proper to the people who have avid ambition and strong persistence to learn, otherwise some people not good at manage schedule will neglect their studies without stimulating. Homeschooling is not means that we don’t need to contact other people and let us in isolation, in an eclectic way, when we have a problem in study, we still must take the consultation or discuss the issue in expertise. Briefly, study at home provides a viable way to learn without spending a lot of time at school and use our time in free.

  8. In my opinion,I take side with studying at shool.
    First, the more skilled question is,the more proficient the answer is to be.We cannot acquire them just by surfing the IE or reading some textbooks.In term of shooling education,I deem it provide us a more complete and educated environment to get the answer;for instance ,laboratory or equipment.Second,we human beings are social animals,and it is dispensable for us to get along with others.Despite the fact that we can attend some extracurricular activities to more or less bridge the social skills,but I deem it's not enough.
    Homesshooling is still not very constructive to implement it and still has many dispute,so I still hold a negative attitude toward it.

  9. I think homeschooling is really a good idea. Because by homeschooling, students can learn things more easily and more completely. And students can find a best way to learn, they don’t need to adjust themselves to fit the teachers’ teaching method. They will have more options to choose. But in the traditional school, students have to adapt the teacher’s teaching method, and if they are not adaptation, they’ll have to spend much more time to study by themselves. Talking all these points of view, I think homeschooling is really a good way for students to learn.

  10. I don’t believe that home-schooling appropriatly be an alternative way for everyone. Unschoolers claim it’s more important to let children be directed by their own interests. However, how could children find out their all interests without exploring general subjects? Secondly, I don’t convince that everyone is so avid for studying at all. So, in the condition of not everybody have enough persistance and ambition, those who dispute that unschool learners can manage their time more freely than the traditions is a huge misconception. Last, if you are so sure about self- learning power, why not choose an eclectic method. Go to school and learn other things you are interest at home!

  11. I think homeschooling is not a good idea. It is not suitable for anyone because it is not every people is autonomous. For example, I am not a autonomous person. I found I can't do one thing continuously. I think everyone has inertia. The second reason is that we can learn many skill for classmates or teachers. Living with them, we cav also learn how to communicate to other people. We can see teacher doing the skill on the spot and learn it onthe spot. Something can't only learn in book or computer. It likes we still will work one day. We can't only know theory. We must know reality. These can't be learned at home.

  12. Because traditional school educating is not enough and has disappointments, therefore some parents choose a alternative way, which is a unschool way of learning, homeschooling can stimulate child’s studying will, and adjust the time, aviod misconception, dictate the subject, and has their own option to go deeper to learn expertise knowledge, although homeschooling may have isolate problems, also others might have questions, for example, are there P.E ?Will the parents give test ? But if persistence studying, I think homeschooling is a good idea.

  13. As far as I am concerned, homeschooling is not a
    good idea for students. Learning at home alone cannot feel the competition with others, cannot have teamwork with classmate, your kids seems living in another world, is isolated.

    In other way, if your kids learning at school, the teacher with expertise may give a direction to every students, help them to learn new things. Furthermore, in traditional school, children may have many chance to meet new friends, learn to how to get along with others is also a crucial subject.

    To sum up, homeschooling may not be a good option for children, learning at school is better.

  14. I think homeschooling is a good way in education. Unlike traditional education, children can learn at home, and decide what they want to learn. They will have own time to use and don`t worry about late for school. And it will be more stimulating when children learn by alternative resources. For example, using internet, watching video, and so on. Another reason is less stress, children do not study for exam but for their own interest. Their parents can also understand the development of their children in order to arrange the adjust course. Like children may be encouraged to spend their time in volunteering and learn socialization with people.
    So homeschooling is a flexible. I think that I will let my children homeschooling in the future.

  15. Is homeschooling a good idea? It's a question under dispute. And I think homeschooling is alternative to traditional education at school. Not everyone adapt to school. The advantage of homeschooling is having many methods to choose. You can choose a method for the child. Every child needs different way to teach. The child may be happier than in school. But homeschooling just a viable way, not everyone need homeschooling. Maybe the child is lazy at home, he won't studty too much. Maybe the parents are busy, so the child won't have a good education. Sometimes the child will be in isolation without the relationships of friends. However, homeschooling or not, is an option. It will be different choise for different people. If the choise is homeschooling, I think the parents have to do many consultations for the best choise.

  16. At first everybody may think that homeschooling sounds good, children have flexible hours and can have alternative of something they want to learn...etc. But in my opinion, homeschooling is not a good idea and has a lot of problems. Like, there is no Professional can provide the correct knowledge, and may have misconception. And learning at school is not just studying, it is more important to live in groups and learn how to interact with people, so studying at home for me is not a good idea. 簡柏勛

  17. We've talked lots of advantages of homeschooling.
    And it really made me stimulating.
    However, let's back to reality.
    Do you turely consider that homeschooling,the brilliant idea came from Western society
    , is aviable as well as the most suitable here in Taiwan?
    Do we merely have two options?
    Akthough we,Taiwan students,is well adjust to traditional school,we can change a little bit.
    Except the two of the above,There wasn't no alternative route open to ous.
    While there are pros and cons , we can have a eclectic way .
    Therefore the dispute was settled forever and we finally creat a new Taiwn-made education system.

  18. Homeschooling sounds like a good idea. It let students study on their own. But I think it still have lots of bad points. For example, students at home may have no ability to social with others. And they say at home they can control time more easily. But if you don’t have a great schedule, you will just waste your time. Then the major good point for schooling is not proved.
    Actually, I think it is a good idea to combine schooling and homeschooling. Because they have their own good points.

  19. I think homeschooling is a good idea. In Taiwan, from elementary school to senior high school, there are many teacher is not suitable to be a teacher. Therefore, learning at home is a better choice than going to school. Although there are also good teacher, bad teacher is also a lot, I don't think school is a best place to learn. So, I think homeschooling is also a good idea.

  20. I think homeschooling is not a good idea to do.Because learning at home cannot have teamwork with classmate.It will lose many opportunities to get along with other people, it will that you do not know how to socialize with others.

  21. I don't think homeschooling is a good idea. It's because that learning at home makes us can not to have discussions with classmates or even not to make friends with other children. For a child,friendship and extracurricular activities are also as important as learning. So I think going to school is better than homeschooling.

  22. If it is alternate.I don't think homeschooling is not a good idea.If I all alwayse stay ah home,I must be feel bored.Althought it can have a lot of free time,it still need to learn how to adjust our time.It is hard for me to do it,and it can make many friends in our life.That is to say,it may be isolated with people.
    AS student,it is a happiness.We can make a lot of friend and have fun with classmate in the school life.While teacher will ask us to do work and study hard,it remards us what we have to do and stimulate us to reach our ambition.
    So,I don,t think the unschool is viable.

  23. In my opinion, I think homeschooling is not good for me. I always waste my time at home. For example, I can watch TV and sleep all day.I can't use time wisely.I like to talk with others people. I like to make friends with school's people. I also like to discuss with my classmates. So I think homeschooling is not good idea for me. By黃信瑋

  24. I think homeschooling is s good idea, and definitely it’s viable. Compare to the traditional way of education, homeschooling provides more flexible schedule for us, which means we have more spare time to spend on what we’re interesting in. Inevitably some people would consider it as depraved, but I think it’s a misconception. On the contrary, it’s good chance to let us know the importance of time management. Homeschooling also gives us a better environment to study in. Without the influences or interruptions from others, homeschooling students can totally focus on the class. It’s not only efficient but saving time. In modern life, now that all the knowledge is printed on books, why not spending more time to experience those cannot be obtained on words.

  25. I don't agree with homeschooling.One reason is that if study at school you can learn more than just some expretises in some fields,but learn how to interact with other people,how to deal with different opinions,especially the one that is against to yours.I think it is the important thing to learn in our life.Another reaoson taht I oppose homeschooling is that people all have indolence,studying at home that means no body is pushing you to study,so you must need a good self-control ability.

  26. I think home schooling is not a good idea, because the house is a closed environment, there are no other students and teacher studing with you. It would be more difficult for people to be socialized. In my opinion, that to learning how to get along with others in school is more important than studing. Therefore, I think home schooling is not a good idea.

  27. I do not agree with homeschooling. Because I think it is not necessary to get along with people is very important. Themselves would idle at home, learning efficiency will be substantially reduced. Although there will be a lot of their leisure time, but I believe not everyone will fit homeschooling. At least the vast majority of Taiwanese parents do not want their children is that there is no pressure in the homeschooling environment to grow.

  28. for my opnion, I disagree the homeschooling. Eventhough the text book says that homeschooling will cause isolation is a misconception, I still believe that the example in text book is just for frw people. Beside the teacher have its own expertise, its can't be substitude. For those two reason I think homeschooling is not a good idea. 鈺貴

  29. It's not a good idea for me that homeschooling is alternative for traditional education system.
    First, traditional education system(school) has teachers who hold expertise and the equipments which was needed in teaching. Second, homeschooling may lead students to isolate from group, that is, they would been lack social ability. Third, although some of people say that homeschooling is a good option because of Bullying and misconception, but those cases are very few in school. In sum, traditional school has some shortcoming still, but it's the complete system of education.

  30. In my opinion,homeschooling is not a good alternative and good way for learning.
    Students who learn at home alone may not have a good social ability and expertises because they get isolation with many kinds of people and can’t take the professional consultation with teacher.
    In the future,they will meet a lot of problems such as they can’t organize the team easily,having misconception about some expertises,and spending more time studying the knowledge what they have not studied.
    I think the traditional education is not all studying,it is more important to live in groups and learn how to interact with people. So,homeschooling is not a good idea for me.

  33. I think homeschooling is a good idea,it is a alternative option for many children, though it may have some problems with socialization, it still has a lots of good points,such as parents don't have to worry about if their child was bullied, or teachers punished their child too hard.

  34. I don’t think homeschooling is a good idea! Homeshooling is no pressure.Nobody can push you forward. It is inefficiency to study.Furthermore,teachers in school have professional knowledge which can make us understand more successfully .Teaching materials also picked already by teachers. That is why I think study at school is more suitable for me!

  35. I think homeschooling is varies,but is not good for me because I knowed that I was a lazy boy,if there are not school press I could be a knowless student,but I still think homeshooling is a good way to those who study hard and determination student

  36. I don't think homeschooling is a good idea, especially in Taiwan. Because most of parents have no time to take good of their children.
    , and their economic ability didn't allow them to do so. And few people is doing the homeschooling, and it may cause the isolation to the parents and children who is homeschooling.
    What's more the society haven't ready to accept the idea, most people judge homeschooling with strange comment. So I think homeschooling it's not so viable in Taiwan. 昌昱

  37. I think homeschooling is a problem.
    I can not agree it.
    Because the institution of sociaty has not construct completely,the institution of homeschooling may not mature.

  38. I don't think homeschooling is a good idea. We live a world where we need to work by cooperating with others.School is just like a miniature society. Soon or later we have adjust ourselves to the surrounding. We can't be isolating. We also have to learn that there always have something is no option to us.Then we will want to find a electic way, at the same time; we can learn to deal with things by consultations. In the end we may see another alternative route. The most important thing is that we have teachers with expertise and special skills, and they know what kinds of educational methods are suitable for us student. Or we may have misconception, what's the worse; we have a big persistence. In fact, school still has some stimulating courses we can enjoy in. We actully don't feel disappointed we have not much free time, because when we grow up and back our school life; we will know it is worth!
