JAKARTA - Not infrequently parents think homeschooling is schooling at home. Turns out, the stigma was wrong.

A psychologist from the University of Indonesia Seto Mulyadi or familiarly called Kak Seto revealed the true meaning of homeschooling.

"The real meaning is a homey school. We also have a comfortable, community-based school building," he said, as quoted by Antara from a press release by Markplus Inc, Sunday, May 22.

For Kak Seto, with homeschooling, children can learn anytime, anywhere, and with anyone. He asserted that 15 years ago learning is a right and not an obligation.

"We are obliged to study critically as if there is pressure. Our students have the right to study comfortably, in accordance with the homeschooling concept that we developed," he said.

Kak Seto also said that learning with the homeschooling method is the choice of today's society even though it is not widely known.

"Judging from the development of the school model, homeschooling is growing very fast, not yet widely known by the public, but it has become an option, even a solution to our children's problems," he said.
