What is school? School is a place to educate ourself. There are two types of education, formal and informal education. Formal education teach the students from the syllabus, while informal education consists of the norms and values acquired from the school environment, such as doing what you are told and acceptance of a hierarchy. Sociologists often call informal education the "hidden curriculum" .
Years ago, there were only private school and public school that offered. Private and public school belong to conventional schools. The weakness of conventional schools are: bound by school rules, always in the classroom so the students often get bored, just aim the pursuit of high achievement index, more theory than practice in the field. To solve this issues, the expert made some breakthrough by making unconventional schools, for instance homeschool and school of universe.
School of universe has a concept of nature based education. In this school students not only learn from teachers, students not only learn in class. They learn anywhere and to anyone. They not only learn from books but also learn from the natural surroundings.
Homeschooling or homeschool often called home education. Homeschool is the education of children at home, typically by parents or by tutors. The benefits of homeschooling are provides a healthy learning environment and increased opportunity for family bonding. The negative sides of homeschooling are homeschoolers will be at disadvantage when applying for employment or college, lack of proper socialization.
Nowadays' technology influence our life including the way of learning. With internet we don't need to study in the classroom, using textbook or face to face with the teachers. It enables us to study anywhere we want, download the material of study and we can use webcam or chat to interact with the teachers. This way of learning called e-learning.
In the future e-learning will spread and used globally, so there will be less formal school. But we still need formal school to interact and socialize with others. In conclusion, whatever your view on education, it is clear that schools are one of the most important agents of secondary socialization. We are still human afterall.
