God sometimes sends help to homeschoolers from the most unexpected quarter—like Japan’s business community! Today on Home School Heartbeat, the president and founder of Church and Home Educators Association of Japan updates host Mike Smith on how the business community is supporting homeschoolers in Japan. Mike Smith: The Japanese business community has been very supportive of homeschooling. Why are these businessmen and women so willing to help homeschoolers, Hiro? Hiro: There is favor toward homeschoolers in Japan, not only from the business society but also from senators, congressmen, professionals, media people. Japan has and is confronted with big problems regarding education. The education industry estimates that the number of students who only partially go to school is more than one million. That is a big problem in Japan! Most of the reason is not because of financial issues, but because of problems like apathy, depression, juvenile delinquency, dysfunctional families and so on. But the solution to all of those problems is not too difficult; we have the answer and that is the Bible. The Bible tells how to teach your children. When I share about homeschooling, most of the staff people and educational committees or government workers say that they personally think that the homeschooling is ideal and fundamental thing for education and that they respect homeschooling. Mike: Well, Hiro, that is very encouraging to hear, and I hope other business leaders around the world adopt the same appreciation for homeschooling. And, until next time, I’m Mike Smith.
