Family schools too could help

It's unnecessary for us to have family schools countering the State-run schools. These could be providers of compulsory education too, says an article in Procuratorial Daily. The following is an excerpt:
In Beijing, some high-income parents spend tens of thousands of yuan sending their kids to privately-run family schools located in mountainous areas. Sitting in farmhouses, children study Confucius classics and learn English and arts. Parents believe that family schools will be able to offer better education than State-run and private schools.
But, some experts said, compulsory education is the national law, and so it may be illegal to send kids to be educated full time in family schools.
