Homeschool “Chatter” Moment With MamaFiza
korang jangan sesedih lah kay cam aku, skang abang pun cam dah ok, mehlah kita buat keje blog balik. aku patut letak entry ni senin/selasa tp tu lah, kita tak tau apa yang Allah tetapkan kalo tak jadi,tak terjadilah ia. pada organizer and teman2 yang hadir for this event last sunday, mohon maaf coz saya lambat keluarkan ini entry.
huh ari ahad nya citer, ari sabtu punya entry pun lom kuor lagik nih. so ai got an invite from Mamafiza to cover her event, the Homeschool “Chatter” Moment With Mamafiza. Lokasi di Putrajaya Marriot Hotel.
lebih kurang 20 orang peserta menghadiri seminar pendek yang dijayakan oleh mamafiza. a bit info on homeschool lah yer, aku brief sket. korang penah dengo Homeschool (HS)? yeap…bersekolah dari rumah. mamafiza yang kini berumur 24 tahun started her first decision to provide HS to her children sejak umurnya 19 taun. so both of them, mamafiza and her husband sit down and agreed that they are going to do the HS teaching for their kids until the ages of 17.
korang leh buat?
yes, some ppl they dont..some can do.
ai cant, honestly.
ai cant teach, ai cant be a good teacher (not mentioning about Cikgu Max kay 🙂 )….
Basic steps on how to get started on Home Schooling:
- First, the big decision. Read and find out as much as possible. Understand it and be prepared to commit to the practice.
- There are concerns about home schooling and it legality in your country.
- Get in touch with a support group in your area who can help you with certain aspects of home schooling, i.e. choosing curriculum, record keeping, activities for the students. Even if you aren’t going to join a support group, it might be helpful to contact one in your area and see what they have to say.
- Choose and purchase your curriculum. What curriculum do I use? This is the hardest part. You can spend a fortune or get by on just a little. You can purchase complete curriculum from a publisher or mix and match. You can buy your books new or used.
- Set up a record keeping system. Your record keeping can be as simple as the journal or as complicated as setting up daily and weekly goals
so the program that we attended, to learn on camne nak apply and to process the HS at home. selain being parents, you also jadi teacher to the kids. dengan kata lain, the kids will be with you 24 hours mar….camne ngan socializing the kids etcs.
mental fizikal kena kuat, kena rajin. rajin ke aku nak kemas umah main segala menda art boxing maths macam2 with my kids? rajin ke aku nak buat revision carik kat web on the module wpun ada depan mata,tp tu lah rajin ke aku? kerana itulah saya perlu tahu banyak on the HS.saya sangat tabik spring toing2 sama kamu yang buat HS dengan family kamu lah.
Why Homeschooling?
There are many reasons parents may choose to homeschool: religious beliefs, philosophical beliefs, crowded school classrooms, school violence, worries about attitude-based learning, worries about strong peer influences, family solidarity, more time spent with better quality curriculum, character development, small group/ focused teaching, strong family values, and because of strong attachments within the family. – http://littlekittle.com/blog/2006/08/06/faq-on-home-education/
my 2 cents comment….
if ai were to choose the HS, that s because ai want to avoid my kids from seeing the so one kind ‘Cikgu Max’. tapi tu kalo aku kenal HS after Cikgu Max yang termaksima rajin merotan kan. just that, saya masih tidak betah memilih the HS. korang kalo nak choose HS, bolehlah belajar and get some helps and tips from Mamafiza. She s an expert on HS.
but think outside of the box, the HS is not only meant for those parents yang work from home. it s also meant for us yang working, yang ada full time career. you still can apply the HS to your kids, after work, during weekend.
My husband and I want them to enjoy home school life together with us. We believe that LOVE and CARES will lead to superb child growth.
Sayonara a waste of time exam, worthless dateline, futile grades. – Mamafiza
yes gang RM, in HS, you dont have to sit any exam, x yah pmr, x yah upsr, x yah spm….what they need is only SAT that covers 5 main subjects. ngan SAT, your kids can go to any universities lam dunia, not spm yang jadi priority.
Everyday since their age is 1 day old, I love to read, tell stories, sing song, do talking, make jokes, learning science, making art project, cooking and do many things with them.
My husband and I choose English languages as our first language at home.
In free time, I teach them simple word using French, Spanish, Hebrew, Japanese, Malay and Arabic languages for entertaining. Most of my time is dedicated to their growth and happy life.
My job as web designer is based at home office, which make me easy to spend all of my daytime with them. I only do my web designing work after their sleep at night. – Mama Fiza
tu diah! dia ngajar segala bahasa lam dunia kat anak2nya in HS. aku? nak ngajar bahasa apa? mandarin pun aku tak paham, bebudak pun belajar sendiri kat NK jer…
during the break, we chit chat borak sana sini, adalah yang bawak baby can do the breastfeeding….

we also have Mama Farah from sarakids.com talking bout the breastfeeding. those yang minat ngan online baby butik, boleh visit her web blog, she has an actual kedai too kat shah alam, ye kan farah? ahkak lupaa, tak sempat nak interview si manis nih.
buku yang direcommend oleh mamafiza untuk kamu dapatkan di pasaran, saya masih belum kesempatan untuk ke kino to buy the book, ai hope one day one time aku leh dpt copy. the price lam RM32 gitu. once saya sudah dpt copynya nanti aku buat review ye.
Mamafiza is 24 years old, with 4 kids. tak caya? hemm….trust me. aku sendiri nak terperanjat dengo. the husband is same age with her, depa 2 working from home, web designer, the kids are: along age 5 years old a boy, the 3 girls age 5, 3 and another baby is turning 1 year this year.
their life,they do it everything together. masak sesama, belajar sesama, solat sesama,semuanya sesama. so menjawab soalan jugak kenapa mereka sangat kukuh dan kuat, kerana itulah mamafiza menerapkan HS in her family. wpun yes ada bantahan dari family and frens, but they just dont care. it s your own life your own child and your own family.
you set the rule
not outsiders.
Petikan from the interview session:
Utk detail ttg permulaan FAQ Homeschool, Miss boleh sertakan link ini dan ini pula adalah jawapan mengapa saya ambil keputusan untuk Homeschool, ini kenyataan untuk jawapan sokongan seterusnya.
Link di sini adalah details tentang Hmeschool Module@LittleKittle.com yg sy jalankan sejak bulan lepas dan Insya-Allah berterusan selama 18 bulan (krn mempunyai 18 modules), sesuai utk parent yg ingin mulakan homeschool sbg lifestyle walaupun mrk menghantar anak2 ke nursery/kindergarden/goverment school/private school. Tujuan module ini adalah utk menyemai “love from home”.
Ini adalah link untuk rujukan aktiviti module yg telah diadakan pd 22nd March 2009 di SaraKids, Shah Alam. Module 2 akan diadakan pd 19th March 2009 ini di SaraKids, S.Alam dan Module 1 akan bermula di SusuIbu, Seksyen 9, Bandar Baru Bangi pd 3rd May 2009, event masih dibuka untuk pendaftaran 🙂 Kpd parent yg terlepas, akan diadakan repeat session utk gantian. Sebarang pertanyaan @ booking utk di SaraKids perlu hantar email ke sarakids.psa@gmail.com dan utk di SusuIbu, Bangi : mamafiza@gmail.com (harga berbeza).
Please do let me know my lady if you need any additional information plus any help regarding this matter. Uh oh, gambatte ne.
Utk pembaca Miss RedMummy, boleh dptkan 5% discount utk event di SusuIbu, Bangi >_<
Ini adalah penaja utk event talk sy, iaitu LovingMinerals.com: iaitu range make-up dari minerals products yg sgt sesuai utk ibu2 yg ingin create healthy images for their beauty looks 🙂 Sy nyatakannya dalam post ini.
it was 2pm, lunch time….cakap terus terang, kami adalah sangat ribut di hari ahad arituh. sepatutnya aku leh cover the event until like 10-11am, coz we have to attend to our kids program but sebab seronok sangat dengo kisah HS from Mamafiza and celoteh breastfeeding by MamaFara, langsung sampai ke petang….
some tips for you yang saya korek wpun ada banyak sangat nak tulih but ai bagi bit by bit lah yer.
1. always give your kids 28 days for any changes yang u expect them to do. say korang nak suh dia letak kain baju lam bakul baju kat dapur kan, bagi dia 28 ari lah to keep on improving,memang la memula tuh macam ari2 nak remind dia to do it kan, but pas kena pasak ari2, mesti depa ingat. ai did that to my kids, anto kain baju ke kain bakul baju di dapur.
2. kan anak2 korang kalo tidur kadang dia nye rahang gigi tu cam berkeruk kerak bunyikkan? ha was told that dalam science research, anak kita sebenarnya ngah stress, macam dalam keadaan bengang waktu siang nya,tu yang dia tension sampai tidur pun gigi berkeruk kerak (oh abangggg )
3. masak with 6 colours,at least on the table tu lah 4-6 colours lam masakan kita tuh. ada carrot,brocoli, apa lagik,masak pindang pun sodap. buatlah goreng2, ha anything but the number of colours tu penting for the kids to seronok makan and have a healthy food.
4. talk to your kids even they are still babies, talk talk talk segala macam benda anak2 korang tuh, pasal ekonomi negara pun ko cakap jer bagi dia sonok dengo mak dia cakap. malas nak bercakap ko bacakan je apa yang ko ngah baca lam RM, so dia pun dengo sama lah yang maknya ngah baca blog orang.
5. for daddies and mummies, always compliment your spouse, bagilah sket adiah surprising them kan. takkan kalo aku tak turun 3 kilog sirman tak nak bagi the bling bling diamond kan kan kan??
so aku bagi 5 je lah yer, x leh lah reveal the secret of HS ni banyak sesangat, you gotta approach mamafiza for the details of HS, nak dptkan module of HS pun insyallah she can help you. Those yang nak support, in terms of financial or promotion on HS,please do so, if everyone do our part, mbe we can make the other party happy, specially the little kids yang attending the HS.
To mamafiza, thanks for giving RM and Sirman the opportunity to cover and get us involve in your HS’s community. semoga HS program conducted by Mamafiza berpanjangan, insyallah. Saya menyokong HS, but to fully participate, nope ai cant do, setakat do it over the weekend or during my nite lift with the family tu bolehlah kot.
apa2 event akan datang dalam HS, pls click the right banner lam, in the column HS chatter (currently blom update coz tunggu mamafiza anto the new banner).
Happy Homeschooling.

HS mmg bagus, tapi penerimaan kat sini kurang lagi . for me kalau kat sekolah dah kire byk keganasan… i still takkan choose HS sbb I am not that bagus dalam disiplin time mgmt. lagipun pergi sekolah good for kids to socialize. Paling terpaksa pun, maybe I hantar private school jer

HS nie kalo kat luar mmg dah benda biasa..ade penah sekali tgk..dia ngajor anak seramai 14 org rasanya kt umah..
mcm kita kat sini kebykan makan gaji..tu yg susah..
tp kalo ade surirumah..yg nak cuba..apa salahnya..tp still kena buat sorang pulak.sbb asben keje makan gaji pulak.

hmm…susah gakla nak praktik HS ni…terutama kerja makan gaji. pastu camana nak catch up silibus2 pembelajaran kat sekolah kalau dah besar nanti? contohnya cam subjek2 yang tough cam add math, kimia, fizik. maknenye kene amik personal tutor gak…hmm tu sama cam sama belajar kat sekolah. nak best lg g sekolah swasta. lainlah mcm kat USA silibus diorang laen….kite lain…ade upsr,pmr,spm. Anyway bole jgk dipraktikkan kat Malaysia ni tp keberkesanannya tu masih diragui.
Sy nak lihat profesor or doktor or pemegang PHD yang membesar dgn hanya HS je barulah jd bukti bawaha HS ni lebih bagus dari sekolah…kalau ikutkan tadek lg, yg ada kat Malaysia ni pon kecik2 lagi bdk2nye..tatau sampai kemana perjalanan HS diorang..

@naruto, thank you for your inquiries 🙂 However, please kindly “Google” homeschool education before came out with your conclusion dear. Thanks.
Plus, it depends on what is your target for your child. If you think PhD is the best for your child, please go ahead. But, personally I’m against someone whom really highly educated on paper but lack of moral intelligent at heart. For me, I vote for love and education: both are crucial and important. However, this is just my personal thoughts.
p/s: I’m not gonna wait for others to make something big for my kids or lead my kids future but I’ll try my best to guide them to grab any opportunity. Insya-Allah. Sorry but I just can’t choose to WAIT and SEE. I’ll GO for it >_<
Notable homeschooled individuals:
Abraham Lincoln (1809–1865) the 16th President of the United States, received very little schooling, but was an avid reader and taught himself how to read, write, and do arithmetic.
Andrew Wyeth (1917), an American realist painter, was taken out of school at young age because of illness, he then received education on art and other subjects from his parents.
Bode Miller (1977), an American alpine skier, was homeschooled by his parents until he was ten.
Ernst Mach, Austria, Physicist. Homeschooled until highschool by his parents.[96]
Erwin Schrödinger, Austria, Nobel Prize-winning physicist. Homeschooled until age 10
George Washington, United States, First United States President[90]
Sho Yano, United States, child prodigy
Susan La Flesche Picotte, United States, first American Indian woman physician
Thomas Edison (1847–1931) an American inventor and businessman, was taught reading, writing and arithmetic by his mother. Before that he left school after only three months, as he had trouble following the lessons. Most of his other education he received from reading books on his own.
Woodrow Wilson (1856–1924) the 28th President of the United States, was home educated by his father because of the Civil War. When he was nineteen he entered Princeton University.
Tim Tebow (b. 1987), American football player for the University of Florida
Francis S. Collins (b. 1950), American physician-geneticist, noted for his landmark discoveries of disease genes, and his leadership of the Human Genome Project (HGP). Home schooled by his mother until the sixth grade.
