Homescooling, fresh alternative

Hi guys...

According to you, who is more intelegent B. Franklin than Picasso? Who is more genius Alfa Edison than Mozart? The one which is also worth to think is “is it true they are the output of formal schooling with the achievement of studying the whole subjects until 100%?”.

Every child has different intelectual. The maestros are experts in their fields. Basically, a good education system is able to give chances to all members to optimize their specific abilities or skills.

It is impossible for a person to master whole knowledge. The same impossiblity to force all students to master more than ten subjects with the same standard qualification. Every man only needs one mastery in one field. Up to now, formal schools haven’t given chances for the students to focus to their interests and talents.

Edison is a product from homeschooling. It happens because according to his teacher, Edison was so stupid. At home, his mother gave Edison wide chance to explore his curiousity in every field. Including, when the little Edison liked to operate animals to know the secrecy of their anatomy. When he was 11 years old, Edison built a chemistry laboratory at his house’s basement. In 1879, when he was 25 years old, Edison succeeded in creating light ball which is able to light in 40 hours.

And so was Mozart. He was called as “The Maestro Mozart” when he was at 8. Homeschooling which was focused and aimed by his father to become a maestro.

“I’m competent because I do it myself”. This motto becomes a standard application of studying style in homeschooling, alternative school which is still being talked as current topic in Indonesia.

Therefore, if it is among you who are not clever enough in school education, don’t be pessimistic about your future since you must have a talent and ability hidden in your body. ^^
