Julia’s Diary

education is a main need of human and also determines a nation’s advanced which is valued based on the quality of human resource. education in indonesia is far behind advanced nations (USA, Australia, UK, Canada, France, China, etc.). Senior high school students often have two choices to continue their study. They can enter the University of indonesia (the best university in indonesia) or maybe they can study abroad. It is better if they choose to study abroad because they will get the best quality of education and more complete facilities. There are some advantages we get with studying abroad.

The first advantage of studying abroad is the good quality of education. It is shown with good quality of lectures. The lectures in foreign university have master and, PhD, or Prof. Degree. Students who study in the university must have a good mark and have already passed difficult entering test. Students must have high discipline in doing universities’ rules. The learning process is supported by complete facilities (library, laboratory, café, etc.).

The second advantage of studying abroad is the difference in t language. Students can learn new language in the place of living. For example; if you live in United Kingdom, you will learn English. If you live in France, you will learn Francis. If you live in Spain, you will learn Spanish. If you live in Poland, you will learn Polish. In the fact, the language is not only used in education, but also in all aspects of life. Language is a communication tool to send a message.

The third advantage of studying abroad is having good preparation in career. Students who have high education will get good career in the future. In this globalization era, good human resources are needed to build or develop enterprises. indonesia invites foreign workers (professional workers) to work in local enterprises. In contrary, indonesia also sends its workers to work in foreign. indonesia t also does students exchange with foreign countries. People with higher education will have better career than uneducated people.

The fourth advantage oaf studying abroad is friendship. Indonesian students can learn more from the foreign students about how they start a conversation, how they do their lifestyle, how they divide time between learning, working, and resting. For information, Indonesian students can add profit with working as a part- time worker.

The fifth advantage of studying abroad is culture exchange. Students will use English as a daily language. Students will be independence without parents in their life. Students will have attitude more individualistic. Students will adapt food menu of the country. Students who want to learn science technology can come to Japan (Japan is one of the biggest robot company in the world). Students who want to learn art can come to Europe (Germany, France, Netherlands, Norway, Austria, etc.).

Now is independence era. We don’t need to fear to develop our potency. Every people have rights to learn; old- young, rich- poor. Good education will help indonesia out from poverty and stupidity.

The word “home schooling” is popular in society for the latest 4 years. Home schooling is a form of alternative education for children to understand that learning process is unlimited. Home schooling is an education activity which is done at home, so they don’t need to go to school. Parents don’t need to be worry to school their children in learning methods of “home schooling”. Home schooling has the same quality with other formal education institutions. Moreover, children become more independent. The examples of home schooling institutions are Morning Star Academy and Pusat Kegiatan Belajar Masyarakat Bina Mekanika.

The expense of home schooling is relatively not expensive. But, the quality is not bad. It is not true that paying a little of money means getting bad quality of education. Children can manage learning time by their selves and can be more creative to develop their potential skill. Children can be more focus by learning and doing what they want. Children pay expense only when they have a material which they don’t understand and ask a teacher to help teaching them.

There are several profits and loss of home schooling activity. Home schooling gives safety feeling to parents and children. They don’t need fear to crime which is happened at school. The crime is using of gun or knife. The other form is beating. Home schooling frees children from alcohol and drugs. A research shows that society gives big affect to teenagers’ life. Whereas, using alcohol and drugs are forbidden in our country. Home schooling gives a protection of criminality. Home schooling gives emotional profit. At home, children are protected from hard words. Parents are thought better than teacher because parents more understand children’s condition. Home schooling looses sex pressure. Parents can tell children about damage of doing sex on young age. At home, parents can add moral and bible lesson. Home schooling tightens family relationship. Home schooling makes family members more closely. Home schooling gives better preparation to meet real life. Children can do something which gives positive value to their life. Home schooling is the best environment of spiritual training. Children can receive direct application about how parents do religious lesson and share a variety of their life experience. The profits of home schooling are for children with special needs. But, the loss is that children are lack the intensity of playing together and building social emotion.
