Nowadays, the idea that all
students should study at schools has been changed in the US. It means that the
schools are not anymore the only educational institution. Not only are many
people disappointed in formal education, but also various alternative
educational methods have appeared like learning on the internet. Although it
has appeared for a short time, homeschooling has received a lot of interest
from public because a few people succeed with home schooling. However, there
are many homeschooling disadvantages about public's view, personality, and habits.
The first disadvantage is public's
view about homeschooler. A few students have desired a new type of school and
wanted to study at their house, because they could neither easily adapt their school
nor make friends. These people usually think only about their selves and do not
have self-confidence in their lives. In public's opinion, homeschoolers have
not gotten to cooperate and interact with other students and they need more
patience and social skill. It means they are not sociable people and almost all
of people do not want to work with them in their company.
Secondly, homeschoolers are not as creative as
other school children. Homeschoolers insist schools prevent having creative
ideas and schools make every student have the same ideas. Actually, schools do
not prevent having creative ideas, but encourage students to have creative
ideas. In school when students discuss with friends, they exchange their creative
ideas and confirm their ideas with teachers or professors. It obviously helps
students become creative people. But, homeschoolers do not have opportunities
to exchange their idea, moreover they just keep ideas in their brain. Obviously,
that behavior is so foolish because they do not even know their ideas is creative
or not.
On top of that, homeschooling would make students
lazy. Homeschoolers say it is advantage that students do not have to get up at
the same time in every morning and homeschooling can make a lot of free time.
But this is not always good. Most organizations require people go to work at
early morning. So, people need to have a habit to get up at the same time in
every morning. We should not forget that getting up late is a bad habit and
breaking of bad habits is very difficult.
Conclusively, some
parents have complaints about schooling programs and they start to teach their
children in home. But more than 50% of them failed to study in their house
because of these reasons I mentioned. We should not forget there are more
people who failed on homeschooling than schooling people, and successful homeschoolers
are just few people. Studying with many friends in school has been good way to
make children social people since a long time ago and will have become excellent
educational method.
