In many Western countries, a considerable number of parents have removed their children from school and are teaching them at home. Such children do all their normal lessons at home, often under the guidance of a parent. The first thing to consider is whether this is legal or not. In most countries it is, so long as parents can prove that their children are receiving an adequate education, equal to that provided by their state educational system. The next consideration is whether the parents have the time, self-discipline, intelligence and patience to teach their own child week after week, day in and day out, for hours on end. Then there is the problem of what will be taught, and how.

在很多西方国家,已有相当多的家长把孩子从学校带回家自己教。这些孩子通常是在一位家长的指导之下在家里学习所有的标准课程。让孩子在家上学首先要考虑的是这样做是否合法。在多数国家这是合法的,只要家长能证明孩子受到了足够的教育,且与国家教育体制提供的教育质量相当。其次要考虑的是家长是否有时间,有自制力,有学识,有耐心,可以周复一周、日复一日地一连几个小时教自己的孩子。然后的问题就是教什么、怎么教。

What I would consider an ideal work environment
If possible, I would like to work in an office that comes with many pieces of modern equipment. At my desk, I can breathe the fresh air in the morning and enjoy the warm sunlight through the window in winter. Meanwhile, there is no factory around that produces noise and pollution. During the break, I can step down the stairs and take a walk in the garden surrounding the office building. Of course, I would like to walk with my friendly colleagues, those whom I can turn to when facing difficulties at work.
Needless to say, working in an ideal work environment will benefit us a lot both physically and mentally. Only if we work in an environment as comfortable as possible can we enjoy a nice career.
