Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the
correct answer to each of the questions.
Educating children at home as an alternative to formal education is an option chosen by families in
many parts of the world. The homeschooling movement is popular in the United States, where close to one
million Children are educated at home. In Canada, 1 percent of school-age children are homeschooled, and
the idea also enjoys growing popularity in Australia, where 20,000 families homeschool their children. The
movement is not limited to these countries. Homeschooling families can be found all over the world, from
Japan to Taiwan to Argentina to South Africa.
Homeschooling is not a novel idea. In fact, the idea of sending children to spend most of their day away
from home at a formal school is a relatively new custom. In the United States, for example, it was not until
the latter part of the nineteenth century that state governments began making school attendance compulsory.
Before that, the concept of a formal education was not so widespread. Children learned the skills they
would need for adult life at home from tutors or their parents, through formal instruction or by working side
by side with the adults of the family.
In the modern developed world, where the vast majority of children attend school, families choose
homeschooling for a variety of reasons. For people who live in remote areas, such as the Australian outback
or the Alaskan Wilderness, homeschooling may be their only option. Children who have exceptional talents
in the arts or other areas may be homeschooled so that they have more time to devote to their special
interests. Much of the homeschooling movement is made up of families who, for various reasons, are
dissatisfied with the schools available to them. They may have a differing educational philosophy, they may
be concerned about the safety of the school environment, or they may feel that the local schools
cannot adequately address their children's educational needs. Although most families continue to choose a
traditional classroom education for their children, homeschooling as an alternative educational option is
becoming more popular.

In Africa, people celebrate with joy the birth of a new baby. The Pygmies would sing a birth-song to the
child. In Kenya, the mother takes the baby strapped to her back into the thorn enclosure where the cattle are
kept. There, her husband and the village elders wait to give the child his or her name.
In West Africa, after the baby is eight days old, the mother takes the baby for its first walk in the big,
wide world, and friends and family are invited to meet the new baby. In various African nations, they hold
initiation ceremonies for groups of children instead of birthdays. When children reach a certain designated
age, they learn the laws, beliefs, customs, songs and dances of their tribes. Some African tribes consider that
children from nine to twelve are ready to be initiated into the grown-up world. They may have to carry out
several tests.
Maasai boys around thirteen years old to seventeen undergo a two-stage initiation. The first stage lasts
about three months. The boys leave their parents' homes, paint their bodies white, and are taught how to
become young warriors. At the end of this stage, they have their heads shaved and they are also circumcised.
At the second stage, the young warriors grow their hair long and live in a camp called a "manyatta" where
they practice hunting the wild animals that might attack the Maasai herds. This stage may last a few years.
When they are ready, they will marry and become owners of large cattle herds like their fathers. The girls
are initiated when they are fourteen or fifteen. They are taught by the older women about the duties of
marriage and how to care for babies. Soon after that they are married and lead a life similar to that of their
mothers.
