Home Schooling

Have you ever thought what it would be like if you did not have to go to school, but instead were taught at home?

Would you have the discipline needed to study on your own? You would need to buy the prescribed books but other reading material would be made available online. You would have a set timetable to follow. There would be homework to do and examinations to sit for. It does sound like attending a normal school, doesn't it? The main difference is that you would not need to step out of your house.

Besides that, what would you be missing out on? Friends and human contact would be the number one loss, unless, of course, your parents made arrangements for you to meet up with other homeschoolers now and then.

You would be missing out on all the extra-curricular activities. You would only do what you chose to do. So what do you think your world would be like?

Many parents these days choose to homeschool their children for one reason or another. Do you think that your parents have made the right choice in enrolling you in a school which you have to attend like all other children of school-going age?

What are the benefits of going to a building where you are
- exposed to different academic subjects (many of which do not interest you),
- taught these subjects not on a one-to-one basis, but in a classroom filled with students of the same age and
- expected to be at par and sometimes perform even better than the rest of your classmates?

  1. The home schooling has its benifit and it bad! how to say??? That one of the benifit is that is safe at home! When all of we go to school, we may be will befriend with some bad friends or join the ' kongsi gelap' easily! So that taking home schooling can prevent for these!!! But the other side, the bad thing is that we cannot learn how to communite with people! The home schooling is a eduction that held in home only, so how we learn form the others or the things we cannot learn in the book like co-curiculum activity!

  2. Home schooling is not something good. It is because when the parents try to teach their children, the children mostly like to skip the lesson.
