Yesterday, my son came back home from school and showed me a local CHinese newspaper. I asked him where did he obtained it because our household do not subscribe any newspapers for years.
He told me that his teacher gave each student a local Chinese newspaper to promote reading. Initially, my son was not bother to pick it up from the teacher's table but his teacher knew that our household do not subscribe any.
Do you know the reason? His teacher knew that I am English educated, I can't read nor write Chinese. So, she advised my son to bring the Chinese newspaper home and read it. Since it is FREE, every student grabbed one!
I am pleased that at least the school is performing the right act, subscribe newspaper for students and promote reading, which is FREE.
Does your child's school give out free books , magazines or newspapers?

It is a nice way of encouraging children to read newspapers or books because with too many gadgets now like laptops, etc. there is a tendency for young people to be lazy reading books, etc.

How do you find the homework for your kids since you homeschool them? Do you follow the school syllabus?

@gnatsmom how about the exams? Your kids sit for the exam in the school or at home?

@peachpurple I choose the curriculum, assignment, and extra curricular work. A couple of years ago, I wrote my own curriculum. I primarily use that, just supplement, when needed, with a couple of Christian school curriculums. The regulations differ depending on which state you live in. Alabama is homeschool friendly, so parents have autonomy over the kids education. The only state requirement we must adhere to is the required days of attendance. Mine usually end up with more than is required.

the good thing is its free, so its okay that you grabbed that and put it in the other side of the house because we cannot read and understand since its written in english.
