My May column for Beijing Kids

The theme of the May issue was DIY, featuring articles on tie-dying and yogurt making, among others. In keeping with this, I wrote about our the biggest and craziest DIY project I will ever tackle, homeschooling. An excerpt:

I was not opposed to home-schooling when we first started discussing it. I have several friends in the US who home-school, some of whom have even written books about it. I always thought that we would give it due consideration, and then conveniently discern it was not for us. That was, however, not what happened.

The rest of the column can be found in the magazine, if there are any copies left out there in Beijing, or on the magazine's website.
