Firstly, we will see from the point of similarity. Either homeschooling or public school has no right to produce their own curriculum. As we may know, the curriculum on public school has been provided by the government from kindergarten to senior high school. It is listed in educational guidelines by the Ministry of education. It is included curriculum 2004, KBK, KTSP, etc. Without many differences in the rules of determining the curriculum, homeschooling guideline is also published by the government. It is conformed by the average age of the students. For instance, curriculum for 4-5-years average age, how to fix simple problem, can be seen in Slow and Steady Get Me Ready book by June R Oberlander. Both two systems of education also require holding and passing national examination based on the government education guidelines.

On the other hand, in this essay we also observe the differences among those two systems. The flexibility of the time and place of learning are simply distinguished them. A public school has the strict regulation in time and place. For example, in the senior high school, there is obligated full day school. The students enter the school at seven o’clock and get home in the evening. It is counted in six days a week and only a day for holiday. Afterward, they do not have many choice of place because they can only utilize the room or spot around their school. However, in the homeschooling system, there is flexibility in time and place. The student can easily choose whenever and wherever they want to study. Even, they can study during weekend in the playground or recreation park.
