Home learning during the Hong Kong protests

In this episode, we’re skipping school again. It's not by choice this time.  For many students and parents, Tuesday 19 November 2019 marks a week of school closures in our city due to the Hong Kong protests.

We’re all hoping for a peaceful resolution and to be back at school tomorrow but if we aren’t, it’s time to get serious about home learning.

So, we turned to an expert for some practical tips about managing school work at home in this very unique situation.

The voice you are about to hear is Jerome Barty-Taylor who you probably recognise if you read Expat Living. Jerome and his team at Barty Education and Development work with all sorts of students across Hong Kong to support their learning goals. The last time we caught up with him was with his student Cloe Cheung who gave us some tips on what it takes to achieve a perfect 45 in the IB.

*Expat Living acknowledges the teaching community in Hong Kong who have been amazing this past week. They’re helping parents and students maintain momentum by setting up virtual classrooms, sending daily learning content, and consistently communicating with students and parents. It’s a huge job in uncertain times and ever-changing information – so thank you on behalf of the city’s parents and our kids. We hope to see you back at school soon!
