All parents want to provide the best education for their children. School is basic education that must be given to all children, but as time goes by, school methods such as homeschooling appear and can be one of the choices for parents to send their children to school.
In this review, Fitie will give about the advantages and disadvantages obtained from following the homeschooling learning method.
Advantages
Here are the advantages of the homeschooling learning method:
- More efficient
One teacher only teaches one person, of course, it is a very efficient method. The teacher will be easier to understand, whether what is taught by him has been understood or not by his students.
- Students will be more knowledge-oriented
Usually, the implementation of the ranking system in conventional schools will make children more score-oriented rather than an understanding of knowledge, so that children get high rankings. The child will try to remember the lesson rather than understand it so that he can get a big score on the exam.
But in the homeschooling learning method, where children are not competed by the ranking system. Children will be more oriented to understand the lesson, not just remember it.
- More flexible schedule
With a flexible and self-determined schedule, children will have more time to attend courses or have other activities.
Parents will also be more flexible to pay attention to the growth and development of their children because children can learn from home.
Disadvantages
The following are the disadvantages of homeschooling :
- Costs that are more expensive than conventional schools
The costs that must be paid by parents are certainly higher than if their children attend conventional schools.
- Children will have less socialization
Socializing itself is an important thing that must be taught to children during their growth and development. However, if the child is homeschooled, it will be more difficult for the child to learn how to socialize.
- Boring atmosphere
If conventional schools offer many other activities besides studying, Homeschooling has no other agenda besides studying. Therefore, children will lose the opportunity to learn to organize or other things that can be obtained when children attend conventional schools.
Hopefully, this review can help you in choosing the school method that you will give to your child.
Thank you!
