And America has fully realized the affect of family education on the whole education in this plan.

America has its unique Home Schooling mode, also called education at home or schooling at home, which is one education form that is different from schooling education. It also means that family education has been taken attention and recognized abroad. One Chinese American scientist Professor Zhenning Yang thought that such family education is one of outstanding features in American education, in terms of the acquisition of knowledge, it does not emphasize the provision of clear and systematic knowledge, but simple let the students learn by themselves of gradually from their own experiences. Although it can’t lay solid knowledge foundation in this learning course , it helps students form independent thinking and creative ability.
