给大家介绍下公立学校是如何招收愿意host homestay的家庭.
看到那个帖子妖怪化homestay 家庭，忍不住上发帖子了。
一：Becoming a Homestay Family
Host an international visa student studying in a school in York Region who wishes to improve his/her English skills and experience Canadian culture.
Are you interested in an enriching experience? By hosting an international visa student you will:
learn about other countries and cultures
learn about your own environment through a visitor’s eyes
form new friendships
foster respect for our global community
recapture youthful energy
Can you provide?
caring, comfortable accommodation for a student
an English speaking environment
opportunities for the student to participate in family life and local activities
integration of an international student into your family
a private room, 3 meals per day plus snacks (it is recommended that Canada's Food Guide is followed to ensure that nutritious and well-balanced meals are provided)
easy access to a public school in York Region on foot or by public transit or school bus
可以看出家庭并没有义务看紧孩子的学习，端正孩子的学习态度。家庭也没有义务提供行车服务，私人用品也要孩子自己购买，比如洗发水，卫生棉等。
二：All homestay hosts will be interviewed and homes will be visited. A Police Vulnerable Sector Screen Check (PVSC) will be required for every member of the household who is over 18 years of age.
是公立学校派人面谈，审核住房条件，拍照上传给学生或者中介，并不是家庭自己用什么photoshop美化房子，选哪家是学生和中介自己决定的。合不来也可以跟教育局的法人代表说，可以提前结束合同。
三：很多学生不想去中国人家庭，是个错误。
提高英语主要是在学校里，不是在家里。
吃西餐肯定没法习惯。我朋友孩子暑假来加拿大参加夏令营去西人家里住，每天都是meat，meat，面包，面包，孩子回去后看到meat就吐。只有吃到适合自己的饮食才能让自己开心起来。留学生多开始英语不好，学校里难了，回家也不能跟人交流，那种郁闷情绪是非常不好的。找个中国人家庭，能交流得来，多少比跟菲律宾人，南美人，中东人家庭住舒服吧。我女儿8年级才来这，在家里都是跟我说中文，她的英语水平还是不错的，95分考进schulich。
四：去哪个学校上学也是学生或者中介自己选的，以下是教育局网站上的学校名单，大家可以看到这些学校都是不错的学校，起码我对其中的2个学校有点了解。
