Normal School vs Homeschooling?

In this era, people started to select the homeschooling method as their learning system because homeschooling lets people to arrange their own studying schedule. In addition, homeschooling requires less money than normal schools with teachers. If this world’s education system is changing in the future, there are some predictions that schools and teachers’ existence will be endangered. 

People cannot deny that homeschooling is getting popular each day and this system is as good as the normal school system. However, I still believe that schools and teachers will still exist in the future because there are some aspects that still make people believe that the normal schooling system is better than homeschooling. The first aspect, the teachers. I strongly believe that teachers hold the most important role in succeeding the student’s education. Teachers, with a lot of experiences that they have been through, will help the students in handling the school subjects and dealing with the life experiences. Teacher’s experience in teaching will also help students when they are facing the problem in studying. For example, when a student finds it hard to catch the lesson, he could directly ask his teacher for an explanation and solve the problem immediately. Second aspect, socialization. In homeschooling, students only have few chances to socialize with their others; peers or teachers. This condition will makes homeschooling students get less life experiences. With those negative sides that is mentioned above, I believe that in future, people will still need school and also the teachers.

Will there still be school and teachers in the future?

Children need education. So parents send their children to school where there are teachers in it. Teachers transfer knowledge  to their students. But as we can see, technology to share knowledge  is developing quickly and we can get knowledge from everywhere but the teachers, for example books and the internet. In the future,  this technology will be more advanced than now for sure. So will schools still needed in the future?

Technology is advancing fast. There’s so many things that we can get from technology, sometimes even more than what teachers can give. Nowadays, children can just  “google” almost anything they want to know. What about in the future? Information  will be more easily available than now. So why don’t we just learn from technology and stop go to school?

                What we should know about school and teachers is that  they don’t only transfer knowledge. There are many other things that teachers give in schools, such as ethics, moral and much more. And in school, students make friends with each other. That’s what the technology doesn’t provide. And also technology doesn’t teach. Children have to learn from technology by themselves. Technology complements teachers and schools beside  books. So in my opinion, schools and teachers are education. If children need education, they need school and teachers. There will still be school and teachers in the future, but maybe the learning process will be different depending on the technology by then.

Teachers In The Future?

One of the questions unanswered these days would be ‘will there still be schools and teachers in the future?’. Why is that question asked? Because these days our lives are filled with electronics. When people want to talk to others who are in another country, they can just grab their laptops and start video-chatting or when people want to count difficult numbers, they can get the calculator and calculate the numbers.

According to me, there should still be teachers. Even if we’ll have the best technologies in the future, teachers are important to everyone. Even the smartest person on earth needed a teacher at first. There are a lot of things that only humans can teach. Things that robots or computers can’t answer. Maybe robots can answer mathematical or scientific questions asked by students. But when kids ask about something that cannot be answered by robots, what will happen? Teachers know how to explain things to students, but robots don’t. When someone doesn’t understand what a teacher is explaining, it could be re-explained in a different way that might help that person to understand. But robots can’t do that.

So, the point is that teachers cannot be replaced by robots, computers or any other technologies that might be used to educate in the future. It’s good to have advanced technology but we cannot be replaced by them.
