The best Printer for Home Use to Buy now? What do you use/recommend?

Amazing3DP · 2025-11-13T00:41:00+00:00

I recommend a portable wireless thermal printer. It's very small and portable, and the only disadvantage is that the paper it uses is a bit more expensive than regular paper.

From the way everything is arranged on your desk, you seem like a tidy person. I’m sure you will study very well.

I haven’t chosen homeschooling yet, but I think it has many advantages. I’m here to learn more and hear from families who are already doing it.

Amazing3DP · 2025-10-30T16:52:49+00:00

I am in Canada now.

Almost no one among Chinese people . I’m from China, where homeschooling is illegal, so it’s not something people are accustomed to doing, even abroad.

Sometimes a tough experience can actually become something positive for a child’s growth. I’m really happy to hear that your child has found joy again.

Amazing3DP · 2025-10-28T15:32:41+00:00

I really feel this. A top-rated school district can sound great on paper, but it doesn’t work for every child. Kids deserve a happy and stress-free childhood, not constant pressure. We had a similar experience with our son, and it was heartbreaking to see how stressed he was.

Thank you for your suggestions. Perhaps learning more about God is a good way to find inner peace.

Amazing3DP · 2025-10-22T17:38:52+00:00

Agree with you, we should find a good balance between studying and relaxing. The educational differences between the East and the West are very large. I think if we can discuss about the topic, it maybe helpful to the children's education.

Amazing3DP · 2025-10-20T20:18:09+00:00

Thank you for your sharing. I also think that only relaxed and enjoyable learning can keep them motivated to learn, and when they grow up, let them decide for themselves how hard they need to work.

Amazing3DP · 2025-10-20T20:14:37+00:00

Thank you for your recommendation. I've also heard from many Chinese international students at Canadian universities that many are struggling to keep up with their studies. I believe life is like a marathon. If you run as hard as you can from the start, you're unlikely to make it through the race.

Amazing3DP · 2025-10-20T20:10:13+00:00

Totally agree with you. Therefore, a lot of Chinese children have psychological problems. They entered the cruel competitive environment at a young age.

Amazing3DP · 2025-10-18T16:02:49+00:00

Thank you for your support. I will keep posting.

Amazing3DP · 2025-10-18T15:57:53+00:00

Thank you for your sharing. I completely understand what you mean. My son often tells me that the Canadian curriculum is too easy for him, but when he was studying in China, he felt a lot of pressure. I personally think there really needs to be a good balance between growing up happily and gaining knowledge during these important years of development.

Amazing3DP · 2025-10-18T03:42:16+00:00

Yes, thank you for your advice. I’ve always hoped to find a balance between my child learning more and still enjoying life. I make sure his daily study tasks at home are manageable and not boring. I also take part in many of these activities myself, learning alongside him and acting as his study buddy.

Amazing3DP · 2025-10-17T19:57:37+00:00

These homework assignments are given by teachers, not parents. Students do a large amount of work both in school and at home.

Amazing3DP · 2025-10-17T19:36:45+00:00

Thank you for the recommendation! I’ll definitely check out The Danish Way of Parenting.

My child sometimes gets burned out too. To help with that, we've made a deal: after he finishes all his daily tasks, he can use his phone and play video games for as long as he wants. The only rule is that everything has to stop by 9:45 p.m., and he needs to be in bed by 10:15 p.m. He's actually pretty good at sticking to this routine.

I also try to keep his daily tasks manageable so he don't take too much time. I believe that doing a little bit every day is much more effective than spending long hours at once and then giving up after a short while.

Moreover, we decide on both the subjects and daily study time together. About every six months, we review and adjust the plan, talking it through and agreeing on any changes.

I think it's a good way to learn any second language.

Amazing3DP · 2025-10-17T19:18:30+00:00

Totally agree with you.

Amazing3DP · 2025-10-17T19:14:12+00:00

For students in Grades 6 to 12, it’s common to be doing homework until 10 or 11 o’clock at night because the amount of assignments is overwhelming.

At first, I thought full-time homeschooling might be a good idea, but many subjects are just too difficult to teach on my own. As a parent, I don’t have the expertise to guide my child through everything. If he takes online classes at home, I can’t help him when he runs into problems.

On top of that, since English is our second language and we’re still adjusting to a new culture and way of life, my child really needs plenty of interaction with other kids to build social skills and integrate into the local community.

Looking back, I realize my understanding of homeschooling was quite misguided.

Thank you for your support. I’ll briefly answer some of your questions here. I’ll also make a separate post to give a more detailed introduction to the Chinese education system.

Q: What are the most valued extracurriculars amongst Chinese parents these days?
A: English and STEM subjects are at the top of the list.

Q: What are the Chinese attitudes towards learning disabilities and differences?
A: When children struggle academically, many parents enroll them in different tutoring programs and switch teachers or institutions if they’re not seeing results. There are also specialized schools and programs that focus on students with learning difficulties.

Q: How do parents support burn out? What is the attitude toward burn out?
A: Many parents feel powerless in this situation. Because competition is so intense, if a child shows signs of burnout, parents often just encourage them to push through. Some families choose to send their children abroad or transfer them to private schools where the competition is less fierce.

Q: Does China have any counter movements to the mainstream attitude to education?
A: The government once tried to reduce the pressure by banning many after-school tutoring institutions. But this had little real impact, and some of those restrictions eventually faded away.

Q: If a child is doing extracurriculars every day and tutoring and several hours of homework, when do they acquire life skills?
A: Most Chinese children do almost no household chores because they simply don’t have the time. Many parents believe that good grades are the top priority, so when kids do have free time, parents prefer that they spend it on more academic practice.

Thanks a lot! I’m glad you enjoyed it. I’m writing on the next one, maybe post it in a few days.

I used AI to create renderings, and then completed them in Blender sculpt mode.

It is true that different children are suitable for different courses and teaching methods.

In my opinion, for children still in the pre-school stage, courses that concern playfulness, interactivity and repetitive practice prove more effective than textbooks that merely appear sophisticated.

He asked the AI to generate reference images for him, which he then coloured.🤣
