Home School, Wanna try?
Recently, home school become a popular option for the parent to educate their children. Especially in big city home school concept become very reasonable. Although home school need private teacher it means possibly make the cost more expensive but the parents can always accompany their children through learning process.
Usually home schooling for elementary and junior high school. after that the children can enter senior high school through several process, or if the child still love home school they can continued it until senior high school level (i dont know the details :)).
Considering the safety for the children, recently there are so many criminal that abducted the children, healthy and environment also can controlled by the parents if the children still near the house.
It looks home school is very reasonable option to maintain childrens and keep them safe from his rotten world :(. But if you see much deeper, there are stil lacknes in its system. Especially about soft skill development (interaction, social, and leadership ability). We also should consider, education not always about lesson or make our children smart in special things, because we dont want to create a robot here.
Yeah, im a person who disagree with home school system, not because the kids get special way of education, but because the child just get lesson there, they wont have ability howto interact with the other kids and other people. Even the parents still have reason that their kids can play with mom and others kids around neighbourhood. But still they are very different, between friends in school and friends form neighbourhood.
With friends in school kids can play with learn, such as make a study group. With friends in school kids can learn about teamwork, learn howto share, and help the others. But with friends in neighbourhood their just playing around, yeah its fun indeed, but just play, nothing else. Simple question is, are home school can provide such education, education is just not about howto solve mathematic or memorize biology, its more than that. The point of education is how to make a better generation that care with environment and other people around them. How they can be useful and create a better situation (yeah..very clise, but thats the point)
Im afraid it seems home school just want to create egosentric person, the important is themself without consider about people around them. The kids get private teacher, get more attention from the parents, and in safe zone..But with this condition kids dont learn anything outside the safe zone, they will say ‘this my zone, im comfort with this situation..you cant distrub me, go away!’
So parents, home school just useful if there arent a good option, like when parent have a job a forest scientist, and should all family lives in middle of jungle and there are no school around there :). But in normal condition, especially in this country, there are still many option better than home school, such as boarding school. (well i want talk about it in next writing).
Kids have rights to get appropriate education.Safe the children from education abusement!
