Abstract
The objectives of this study were to know the reasons why a family chose to apply homeschooling. The study was conducted through the qualitative method by snowball sampling techniques. The data were collected through observation at eight families, but only 5 of them became the respondents of the study and were continued with in-depth interview and documentation. The results of the study showed that a family chose to apply homeschooling was due to internal and external reasons. Internally, a family chose to apply homeschooling because they wished to strengthen their children’s morale and character through disciplinary and consistency in acting. Besides the moral and character could also be done through the awarding examples of parents. In terms of the external reason, the families argued that formal schools did not make students learn. Various problems in schools that have emerged, such as juvenile delinquency, youth fights, drugs and bullying behavior continued epidemic to date and have not been able to overcome. Certainly, these behaviors feared parents about their arriving home since they could be an example for the other kids. In addition, at this time many teachers who are less professional and does not give a good example such as teachers smoke in the classroom, teachers had no preparation and did not give an evaluation to their students. Students were given homework, but unfortunately, teachers did not follow it up as the learning process for students. There were still many other problems performed by teachers, for example, lack of being discipline, lack of teaching methods, being angry in the class and so forth.
