1.The comparison of the purpose of education

The purpose of restricting the direction of home education ,home educationdetermine its overall effect, so the family is the core purpose of education of family education, family education of the two countries is to determine the root cause of the difference. The purpose of family education through family education should develop into what kind of educated people. Once the purpose of determining, educational content, methods are according to the selection. So the United States and China care more about purpose of family education,or the two parents for their children what difference it?

The purpose of the American family education is to make children adapt to various environments and the viability of "social", their parent’s expectations are not high for this purpose.

For this purpose, Chinese parents care about their children's academic performance in particular, the only requirement is to concentrate on children, quietly sat down to study, apprenticeship, but they ignore the child's talent, limit their creativity, the results in order to cultivate the so-called " talent "but stifled genius, produce many" determined to grow flowers do not send "effect. And because rarely consider the child's personality, social adaptability, citizenship and other issues, even though academic performance is good, the future may not be able to successfully based on the community, and sometimes also make parents' expectations completely dashed.

2. The comparison of the content of education

What kind of educational goals, there will be what kind of educational content. American family education rich in content, so that children get the harmonious development of attention on the physical, cognitive, language, social, emotional, to be called "quality education." On the
