PARENS put their children into formal school. The education system of children studying in formal schools has become the primary choice of parents. But actually education can not only be achieved through education in school. Parents can choose to provide an alternative education system to their children through homeschooling. Every parent has a responsibility to choose and provide the best education for their children. 

Parents also certainly know the educational system more appropriate to develop the talents and interests of their sons and daughters. Making an important decision to educate children is not an easy task. It all depends on you as a parent. If you are currently in doubt in choosing an education system for your child, you should consider further this article. Hopefully the following information will help you make the decision to choose the best education for your child. 

What is Homeschooling Education 

Homeschooling is also known as home school. In essence homeschooling is an alternative education or learning system other than school. The method of teaching and learning in homeschooling is fun because it is done at home. But homeschooling is not only limited to being done continuously at home, but a conducive learning situation that can be done anywhere, anytime, and the child is free to choose the lesson he likes to feel comfortable at home. 

Based on the rules of my country in Indonesia, homeschooling is a conscious, orderly and focused process of educational service performed by parents/families at home or other places, where the teaching and learning process can take place in a conducive atmosphere with the aim that each potential child unique can develop optimally. 

If a family has chosen homeschooling for their children's education, then parents are fully responsible for the educational process. This alternative education system can be done anywhere, anytime, and by anyone. Parties other than parents can be from various age groups and backgrounds can be used as teachers or teachers. It makes learning process interesting and always fresh. 

Putting a child into a course, regularly calling home teachers regularly and entrusting children to a homeschooling education system such as an existing community or homeschooling institution can be done by parents in support of achieving the desired educational goals. 

Homeschooling Educational Objectives 

Parents get the freedom to choose and determine the best for the child so that the child's talents and interests can develop optimally. Children have more freedom to develop deep interests and stored talents, satisfying their curiosity to know and understand the world around them. 

In general, children who attend formal school will be crammed with various subjects. Children become trapped in choosing the areas of life that will be lived in the future because when the school has very little space to detect the talents they have.

Finally we can see where quite a lot of people who work are not in the field he studied. This is because parents and children late to detect their talents that they have brought since birth. If since childhood parents are able to find talent from an early age and direct it to develop maximum, then the child would be happy to cultivate a field that is a talent or interest so that more success in the future. 

Homeschooling Education Fee 

This home based education system now means to be biased because it seems homeschooling is now a trend. This can be seen from the many emerging institutions/schools labeled homeschooling. Schools labeled homeschooling is costly enough. As a parent you have to keep an eye on the amount of costs that must be incurred before deciding on formal or informal education that becomes an option for your child.

What is certain in the process of homeschooling no fixed costs incurred every month or year like a public school such as uniform money, building costs, school fees and so forth. But that does not mean homeschooling does not spend at all.

Expensive or cheap homeschooling depends on the number of children following this alternative system, as well as the type of material used. Although currently many lesson materials can be downloaded for free via the internet or textbooks that can be borrowed from the library, there are times when some special subjects parents need to buy lots of textbooks for children and add insight to parents. In addition, parents sometimes need to buy support materials that of course require funds that are not small. 

Conclusion

It is clear that the process of homeschooling education is the responsibility of parents who have decided to choose homeschooling as an alternative solution of child education. Nevertheless there are times when parents are not committed to decisions that have been taken because parents are not rich insight into all the lessons that should be controlled by the child. 

Well, here is needed tutoring, tutoring from private tutors who master the subject that serves as a complement to the education of children. To call a private teacher home, putting a child into several special subjects courses or a homeschooling institution/community will certainly cost a lot.
