Can parents homeschool only if they are highly-educated? 父母是否必需有高學歷才能跟子女自家教學呢﹖

It might help if parents are highly-educated. However, a recent study in the U.S.A showed that there was no relationship between the educational background of parents and the results of students in public exams.* In public schools, nationality and social rank may affect the performance of the children. However, homeschool children are affected less by these two reasons. **

Below website has shown some details about parents’ hesitation for homeschooling. You can take a look for reference. http://ihomeschoolnetwork.com/i-cant-homeschool-because-2/

父母若是高學歷人士可能會有幫助，但並不是絶對。美國曾經有相類研究，指出孩子在公開考試的成績跟父母的教育背景沒有關係*。在公立學校裡，種族及社會階層可能會影響孩子的表現，但對在家自學的孩子影響力就較低。**
