Summary/Abstract: More and more parents consider education at home, homeschooling, as a solution to the crisis of the educational system from Romania. In our country, there are few scientific studies analysis of the impact of this alternative on cognitive acquisitions and the development of personality traits of children. The study proposed by us, carried out in the spring 2017, had as its primary objective the analysis of how homeschooling is practiced and carried out in families in our country, especially due to the fact that, in Romania, this educational alternative is not legalized. One of the methods of data collection were the online questionnaire. We have noticed that parents who already practice this system education face the prejudices of those around, most of the time, not even supporting the family or close friends. Sometimes due to this system of thinking, parents do not even dare to say they are educating themselves their own children, fearing that they will be judged. The legalization of this system and putting it "in the light" of the scientific approach would be just for the benefit of the children.
