My shade of gray

In Hong Kong we live in an area of gray. It is a place where some people don't want to go to. It could be a place where you go out of want. It could be a place to go to out of necessity. It could be a place you go to because you have certain values that you hold dear to your heart. It could be a place you go to because you don't feel like any other environment is "just right".

Home school.

We went around in circles about homeschooling when we were making the decision to come to Hong Kong. Finally it came down to a couple of things. First, what did we want to do while we were here --- did we want to take advantage of all things that we could see in Asia? Second, as most things in life, "show me the money".

So now, I have been on both sides of the coin. And now, more than ever, I am shocked by how people still see school vs home school. Both have their positive and negative points. Each one has a stigma that goes along with them. Is one right and the other wrong? No! You have to do what is best for you and your family. No one should tell you are wrong for doing what is best for you.
