Homeschooling happens all over the world! This week on Homeschool Heartbeat, Hiro Inaba, president of the Church and Home Educators Association of Japan, joins host Mike Smith to talk about how his family got started homeschooling. Mike Smith: This week my guest is Hiro Inaba, president of the Church and Home Education Association of Japan. Hiro, welcome to the program. Hiro Inaba: Thank you so much; this is a great opportunity! Mike: Hiro, can you tell us a little bit about your family and how you got started homeschooling? Hiro: Wendy and I started homeschooling in the spring of 2000; in the year 1998 my wife Wendy had an interest for homeschooling and she encouraged me to do some research about it. I was the producer of a Japanese TV broadcasting program at the time, so I went to the CHEA California convention and made two programs about the homeschooling movement. We also found out that there was just a handful of families in Japan who were doing home education. Obviously they were under lots of pressure, so Wendy told me that we should have a channel to encourage them. That was the beginning of Chea Japan. Mike: Well thank you, Hiro, for that information. We look forward to hearing more about homeschooling in Japan next time. And, until then, I’m Mike Smith.
