Homeschooling AS AN ALTERNATIVE EDUCATIONAL MODEL OF FOCUSING ON CHILDREN





Every parent would want their children to develop optimally and feel enjoy a period of education. Every parent expects the child develop physically and psychologically fit to the stage of its development so as to achieve optimal results. Thus, providing the best education for children is the hope of every parent.


During this time in Indonesia, most parents enter their children into educational institutions so that children get the proper stimulation. The education system is already practiced for years and does have many advantages and disadvantages. However, as a man-made systems must not perfect.


However, on the other hand, there are many people who are unable to enter their children into educational institutions due to economic constraints, the difficulty to reach both in terms of transportation as well as geographic, or other reasons. These conditions are a challenge for us all, especially since every child has the right to proper education in order to stock their lives later. We must try to find alternative models of children the right education for the children of these communities, so it is not left behind.




It is also interesting is that at present many parents begin to feel the institution is no longer able to provide the best education for their children. Parents feel that teaching methods are chosen not according with the stages of growth, development, interests and needs of children, so children do not feel comfortable in educational institutions. Schools and pendidiknya considered only after the target curriculum, so children burdened with a variety of material that does not match the capabilities or needs. The children are educated to meet the curriculum, not a curriculum designed for children. Children deprived of independence to be creative and imaginative. Even worse independence and conscience of children were deprived of their liberty. Why is that? Let us look really, a lot of educators that gives punishment when the child is telling the truth. Is that true? Surely this is our next question. Let us observe, when the kids do not do homework and he's telling the truth why, for example, homework is too much or too difficult, surely the punishment he got. As a result the children lied to get the exact reasons that are not punished, for example illness. Then, parents were so involved homework son or daughter even made a sick certificate, so that children do not get punished. We may not realize, that we have implanted a very bad habit in children, which teaches dishonesty and lying to the conscience. The effect is not momentary, but prolonged. We print the generation that is not honest. It was a fatal mistake. What exactly happened in our educational system?




Preview the application of such education led to the emergence of various ideas about the school a pleasant as well as educating children, which then led to a variety of alternative schools. As an example of nature school then appeared to take their children learn more in nature, so not too much to learn in the room which is too rigid and closed. Children are invited to be creative and more personal with nature more closely, so try to restore the world's children close to nature. Natural school designed so pleasant child. Joy and freedom to explore the main tool for educating children.




After that, then comes the other alternative that frees the students to learn anything in accordance with their interests. In this school there are no classes as well as in formal schools. Educators serve only to guide and direct the children's interest in subjects he liked. Besides, there are many other alternative schools that have their own methods of learning. Of the various alternative schools then came the home school or homeschooling.




Homeschooling allows children to learn in accordance with the interests and needs. In addition, it also allows children to learn with fun because the atmosphere created in such a way that children feel safe and comfortable. Feeling at home that is built. Then, what about the legality? Homeschooling is a legal form of education, because homeschooling is one model of learning for children.




Homeschooling does not mean not learning. Schools are not the only place children and how children learn to prepare their future. The presence of homeschooling has a clear legal basis in the 1945 Constitution and in the Act. 20/2003 on National Education System. Schools called formal education, homeschooling called informal education channels. Homeschool students can have a diploma as students and schools can continue their schooling to any university if it so desire.




Given that every child born with special talents and abilities and unique skill, homeschooling can be one way to honor the privilege of children and its potential to grow, because in doing so, homeschooling can be adapted to learning styles, interests, readiness and intelligence, respectively children.




However, there is no perfect education system, and the current conditions, homeschooling can be a rational alternative choice for parents. The main thing is we can provide an appropriate education with the world, the needs and interests of children, and all of its potential to develop optimally.
