一周多来一直在申请homeschooling在家学习，简称HS吧。过程中看到无论是私校、还是公校，都不太清楚HS的流程和操作步骤。多次咨询了政府教育HS部门，这个部门还是挺nice的，做事很有效率，电话留言后往往第二天或者第三天就打来，email常常是当天就回复，而且回复多次，还是不错的。
学过概率论的都很清楚现在魁省的情况将会有多严重，在一个新冠感染率超过1%的城市里，每100人里正常情况下会有1位为阳性。一个学校，即使规模很小，平均规模也有至少200人吧；假设每个家庭的成员数平均有3.5位，200人连同他们的家人数就是700人。正常水平下，这700人里应该是有7位感染的。而省府的假设是700人中没有一位感染，从概率学的角度看，那几乎是不可能之事。换言之，用概率学语言表述，700里至少有1人感染的概率是绝绝对对的大概率事件。
现在所谓的学校泡泡，如果用当下感染人数多的卡拉OK厅来比喻，就好比学校里每天开了十几个卡拉OK厅，一唱唱一天，再回家与家庭成员交叉接触。第二天，兄弟姐妹去了其他的学校，父母去了其他的公司，年长者去了超市或休闲场所，而本人再去学校再唱一天。按省长的话讲，这种生活至少要持续到圣诞节……他可能真不知道，就他的知识水平可能也真难以想象，从概率论的角度他到底在说什么？！！那简直将是一场悲剧啊~~ 特别是这些是孩子啊，每个家庭里最最在乎的人，当家长的活了这许多年，其实相比而言多少有些可以无所谓，但孩子，他们的人生才刚刚开始啊~~
Homeschooling是个可选项。它的申请程序，就我多次跟私校、公校、HS政府部门电话，在HS部门指点下，详细步骤是这样的：
– 公校会简单些，从第3步骤开始。
– 私校的需要加第1、2的步骤，就是先在所在地址所属的公校注册，注册完成后请私校取消位置（我是从开始办的时候就通知了私校会HS）。
步骤1、通知私校要homeschooling，
步骤2、在所在片区的公校注册，需要证明地址的账单，跟他们说注册是为了homeschooling（免得浪费他们太多精力）公校注册好，立刻通知私校取消孩子的位置。可以在公校注册期间就请私校联系waiting list上的其他候选人，说好一注册成功第一时间通知私校。
步骤3、去政府网站上
http://www.education.gouv.qc.ca/en/school-boards/support-and-assistance/homeschooling/
在页面的中间偏下一堆表里点左上角的链接，就是这个置深的“Secure site for homeschooling providers for the 2020-2021 school year”。进入网站后，填好家长信息、孩子信息
步骤4、选左上角的第2个Annual notice of intent，会出来一个很简单的表，做好后，下载、打印、签字，拍照，再转成pdf格式。
步骤5、发一份给公校，发一份给公校所属的school board，我在市区，是发这个school board：Enseignement_Maison@csdm.qc.ca，另外发一份给教委dem@education.gouv.qc.ca，所以总共发三份。
政府HS部门的人告诉我，学校很多都不了解这个情况，需要帮助时随时联系她们DEM@education.gouv.qc.ca
我平时白天需要服务很多客户，真的没有时间，我已将我所知道的每一个点滴都写在这篇文章里了。后续再有什么信息，我会再写，再发到魁省网课群里，有兴趣的朋友欢迎扫码，家长们一起拼课可以降低费用。
朋友们再有什么疑问，随时联系政府教育局HS部门
DEM@education.gouv.qc.ca， 语言上不是很方便的朋友可以多用谷歌翻译

左边写中文，右边出英文，能够交流就好。
这里向魁省的IT家长Olivier Drouin致敬一下，虽然他看不到，他做了
是有确诊案例的学校在地图上的分布。
还有他的Twitter上，很多族裔的人都在提供信息、讨论和留言：
祝愿朋友们多保重，都保护好自己的孩子~~ All the best wishes!!
另外政府HS部门的人很nice，提供了下述HS的资源：
Dear Parents
As a follow-up to our phone call from earlier today, here is the information you need to register your daughter with our department and submit the learning project.
The Learning Project – Primary Education
Before you start completing your learning project, please make sure the Notice of Intent for your child has been signed, dated and sent to your school board / educational service centre:
| Montréal | Enseignement_Maison@csdm.qc.ca |
Upon submitting your Notice of Intent, you have 30 days to complete and submit a learning project to our department. Here is the direct link to our primary education learning project template:
In order to complete the learning project, you will need to consult the Quebec Education Program (QEP) website at http://www.education.gouv.qc.ca/en/teachers/quebec-education-program/ and look at the content of the Elementary program for English, French, Math, Science and Technology and Social Sciences. The document you will need to familiarize yourself with is called Progression of Learning which can be found under each subject. Here are the direct links to these documents:
PRIMARY PROGRESSIONS OF LEARNING
LANGUAGES:
You must be teaching your daughter either in English or in French and the level you are teaching must fit her level of education according to her age. You will be focusing on grade 5 – Year 1 of Cycle 3.
If you have the intention of (re)integrating your daughter into the French system, it will be important to keep up with the French-language learning suited to her future schooling.
Français, Langue de l’enseignement
…or
French Second Language
Furthermore, it will be important to keep up with the English-language learning suited to her future schooling.
English Language Arts:
…or
English as a Second Language:
Mathematics:
Science and Technology:
Social Sciences: Geography, History and Citizenship Education
As a homeschooling family, you must align your learning project with the QEP, yet the methods you use to teach are up to you. Note that we do not offer online classes; it is primarily the parents’ responsibility to teach their homeschooled children. The strongest learning projects have students reading, writing and doing math every day and learning in creative ways.
Here are a few suggestions for online resources you may find helpful to teach students at the primary level:
• https://www.ecoleouverte.ca/elementary/ – links to French and English online learning resources
• https://ca.ixl.com/ – English Language Arts and Math – able to align with Quebec Education Program (all in English)
• https://ici.radio-canada.ca/jeunesse/scolaire – French CBC programming for children
• https://www.cbc.ca/kidscbc2/ – English CBC programming for children
• https://kids.nationalgeographic.com/ – English geography and science topics for children
• https://laclef.tv/ – French literacy and numeracy for children
• https://www.alloprof.qc.ca/ – French homework support
• https://carrefour-education.qc.ca/ – French education resources
We strongly recommend that you get in touch with your school board for more information about evaluation, and access to resources like school books, facilities and services, online resources, etc.
When you have completed these learning projects, upload it to your child’s online DEM account so that your resource person will be able to access it and assess it in the coming months.
In addition to the learning project, parents must submit a midterm and status report towards the middle of the school year. This report describes the progress of the learning project, and the child’s learning over the first few months of homeschooling. Templates will be available on our website.
Towards the end of the school year, parents must submit their completion report, which is similar to the midterm report but deals with the latter half of the year. Furthermore, accompanying the completion report will be an evaluation – either a portfolio, an evaluation written up by a certified Quebec teacher, an evaluation from a school board, a private school or the Ministry – which is proof of the learning that has taken place over the course of the year. Your resource person will be able to explain the latter in greater detail as you approach the end of the school year.
A resource person, who will be able to assist you with ideas regarding what to include in those reports, should be assigned to your family near the beginning of the school year. You and your child will also have to attend at least one monitoring meeting with your resource person. More information is available in the Homeschooling Support Guide.
Please refer to the Ministry’s homeschooling website for more information http://www.education.gouv.qc.ca/en/school-boards/support-and-assistance/homeschooling/ .
