Ingatkah kita ketika waktu kecil selalu bertengkar masalah hal-hal sepele? Seperti saat teman kita memiliki mainan baru dan mereka pamer pada kita mainan itu. Contoh lain ketika kita menyukai mainan yang mana berbeda dengan teman kita yang lain dan selalu klaim bahwa mainan kita yang lebih baik. Apakah kita pernah diajarkan untuk berhati-hati ketika berbicara dengan teman-teman lain yang berasal dari wilayah lain dimana memiliki budaya atau kebiasaan yang berbeda?

Sadar maupun tidak sadar kita memiliki pemikiran seperti yang saya sebutkan di atas bahkan ketika kita sudah tumbuh dewasa dan terkadang kita selalu menganggap bahwa orang yang berbeda seolah-olah “salah” di mata kita, kita yang lebih baik dari mereka dsb. Mari kita resapi bersama tujuan Allah menciptakan manusia, manusia diciptakan oleh-Nya berbangsa-bangsa dan bersuku-suku yang notabene sangatlah berbeda baik kondisi fisik maupun kebudayaan. Bahkan kembar identikpun masih memiliki perbedaan, lalu apakah kita bisa seenaknya “menyalahkan” mereka yang berbeda? Read the rest of this entry »

HOMESCHOOLING

Nowadays, homeschooling becomes more popular in our country. Many parents choose this type for their children due to various matters. Anyway, up to now, homeschooling, yet, is still a pro-contra for many people. Not all parents agree with this kind of teaching-learning activity. They still doubt with the method used by homeschooling practitioners for improving the knowledge of the children. Here are the positive and negative sides of homeschooling:

The positive aspect of the homeschooling method is the children have many option to what they want to learn. They free to decide what they want to explore and when they want to study. The parents can also have plenty time for their children because they need not to wait their children’s school hours over. The children will have less homework so they can join extracurricular activity. Furthermore, the oppression, competition, and boredom are the typical things from regular school. Brawls, cigarettes, even drugs are the terrifying stuffs that can emerge in regular school society if the parents do not have much time for their children, it would be a disaster for the family. By homeschooling, those stuffs can be avoided.

However, there are some negative effects of homeschooling, like the cost of it is more expensive than the regular school. For the parents who just begin developing their career, financial is one of the big problems. The children can’t measure their ability and can’t compare to other children. And the most important thing is the lack of interaction among their peers from different level status. Whereas, the children need to have precious experiences to learn in society

To conclude that homeschooling can be an alternative way which places the children as subjects with the parental approach for their education. The parents should be able to manage what their children need, adjusted with their children’s characteristics and potency because the children have rights to get the proper education. Education must not bridle children’s imaginations to develop their own potency. Therefore, the parents should find the “fun” education and not bridle their creativities that will be meaningful for the children.
