Rising to the challenge of home-schooling

Mark Graham:

Home-schooling children is a tough challenge, even with a support group in the neighbourhood and the help of internet resources.

American doctors Bill and Ana Moody made it even harder by moving to an out-of-the-way Chinese village where, despite the many obstacles, they successfully home-schooled their sons.

The upside of being in an isolated environment where little English is spoken or understood was that their boys learned to speak fluent colloquial Chinese. The eldest son, Matthew, is now at college in the US, where fellow students are dazzled by his command of the language.
