Editor's Note: It is estimated that about 18,000 Chinese children are educated at home. With more parents and education experts dissatisfied with the current system, do you support home schooling for your child?

My son has been home schooled for the past four years. He was going to public school but was bullied and one day refused to go. That became a problem but home schooling came into my mind. Experience showed that home schooling can be just as good if you ensure all learning areas are covered. I use the national curriculum as a guideline. I teach exactly the same as a school would. Social skills can be covered in outings and play groups.
