At home in shanghai

A fledgling homeschool cooperative in Shanghai is growing enough to consider starting another. Eighteen children ages 8 to 18 are in the current group, and a new "community" is planned for children ages 10 and under.

"Parents design the curriculum according to their personal interest and teach their own child or children from Tuesday to Thursday.

"These kids, regardless of age and nationality, gather every Monday and Friday to have two-day collective lessons such as Chinese literature, maths, arts and sports."
