According to a previous study from Jeromiza (2018) stated that the practice of home

schooling learning is an alternative learning method that is the choice of some parents in
providing education to their children. Through this method, children are not sent to regular day
school, instead they will study at home, whether their own parents are teaching or paid teachers
will come home. In this Era 2021, the Prime Minister is again repeating the PKP, PKPB, PKPP
Movement Control Order throughout the State due to the increasing number of Covid-19 cases
from time to time, the best option to continue learning sessions for children to learn is home
schooling is very relevant to parents at home because it has many benefits of home schooling for
children, among them is that learning at home also allows learning sessions to be conducted in a
more controlled, comfortable, safe and effective environment. This is because, learning sessions
are done at home and the children are supervised by the parents who are responsible as teachers
in the classroom. Apart from that, children are more comfortable studying at home because they
do not have to bother to adapt to the day-to-day school conditions that are sure to have many
times the number of students. Meanwhile, children's discipline is also monitored better during
home schooling. In fact, through this home learning system as well, the relationship between
children and parents also becomes closer and they can also monitor their child's daily activities.
Therefore, most parents choose to teach their children at home instead of sending their children
to day school. The best home schooling practice done by parents at home is the method of
approach play through learning at home with children. Furthermore, some parents argue that
having a home-based learning system allows them to control how learning methods and learning
mediums are appropriate to use and better identify their child's abilities. In addition, parents can
also identify interests and inclinations in a field and also they can cultivate that interest in their
children. In schools, teachers also use various types of learning mediums as approaches and
teaching aids to facilitate the learning and understanding process.

There are some plays that can be used as an element of learning in home schooling practice:

1. Storytelling: Parents talk about "The Rat and Mouse story" using skewers with children can
help communication.

2. Acting Sale and Purchase: Parents can teach Mathematics subjects in terms of recognizing the
type of money and counting money while acting buying and selling with children for example
Parents open a grocery store and children buy.
3. Playing Sand: Parents give children the opportunity to feel the difference in the texture of the
sand. Parents can train children to focus for longer periods of time. In addition, it allows children
to see shapes and effects in the sand, such as printing and pasting objects in the sand. Children
can form attitudes according to rules and be disciplined.

I agree with your opinion but in my opinion the practice of home schooling nowadays we rarely

hear compared to in the past. In the past we often heard that there are some parents who do not

send their children to school and even prefer to study at home by calling teachers or their own

parents who are teachers to their children. The practice of home schooling is usually heard by

people who are, only outsiders who often practice this way because most of us send their

children to school because teaching at school and at home is very different. Before we move on,

what is home schooling? For those who do not know, home schooling is one of the learning

alternatives that is increasingly being the choice of some parents in Malaysia. Home schooling

can also be defined as a method of home schooling given to parents who need it such as parents

who have chronic health problems and require close supervision and care by the caregiver. Due

to this, some parents discuss and agree to choose their child to study at home and they will be

fully responsible for the educational process of their child.

If in a normal school, this responsibility is given entirely to the teacher and the school. However,

it is only a privilege and not a right. Normal schooling is a priority for children because it is a

way for children to interact with each other. The original purpose of home schooling is to

provide more care for children as there are some children who have health problems. Also, there

are some situations where children have problems in terms of their development and need more

focused guidance so that they can learn and become like normal children. Thank you.
