We worry about what a child will be tomorrow,
yet we forget that he is someone today.

- edn-in-jpn (Homeschooling/Afterschooling in Japan) - Welcome! Educating your child is a difficult enough task for anyone but non-Japanese living in Japan will have additional stresses, challenges and issues. Whether we homeschool in English or send our kids to intl schools or send our kids to pick up Japanese in local public schools and try to squeeze in homeschooling after school, we need ideas, resources and support for our individual homeschooling journeys. This gives us all good reason to pool our ideas, experiences, resources and knowledge of Japan. The aim of the list is to empower parents and educators in Japan, to provide a networking place for the exchange of ideas and resources that will raise the quality of education and life for our children. This group list handles issues of great breadth and depth,from general educational policy to bilingualism to brushes with school boards to educational methods and resources. Begun in 1999, the list has over the years has taken on a life of its own and become a real meeting-place for kind hearts and great minds! To join, you MUST send an introduction describing yourself or family and your educational concerns that will be forwarded to the group. This is strict REQUIREMENT that serves as a minimum protection for our family-oriented online community. After posting your introduction and upon being subscribed, you will be able to go online to read the introductions and messages posted by the other list members. Aileen Kawagoe. Moderator and Editor

- hs-in-jpn (Homeschooling in Japan) - Welcome to the list for families actively homeschooling in Japan. This forum was created especially with the needs of homeschoolers in Japan, in mind. We would like to encourage the exchange of practical ideas, tips, information and resources, and any other homeschooling-related matters.
We also hope this will be a good place for homeschooling families to find and make friends, and share experiences in a relaxed and pleasant atmosphere, with due respect and regard for each other. We encourage all to post enthusiastically, in the spirit of edifying and helping one another. Please also keep an open mind and "agree to disagree" amicably, when hearing an opinion or perspective different from one's own. Please also be sensitive by refraining from making personal judgements or criticisms of another member online.
Note: General comments on education, and the political status of education in Japan and abroad, need to be posted on the edn-in-jpn list. Please think of this list as the "practical homeschooling" list for families in Japan.
Looking forward to sharing many homeschool experiences, Jill, Julia and Angela. Your Moderators.
