EDUCATION SYSTEM INDONESIA concern

Current educational system as a vicious circle, if there is a saying that does not need the UN because the know the characteristics of students in schools is a teacher, that statement is very true, but in reality on the ground, I often see the value of a manipulated report cards, rare even may not there are teachers who do not manipulate the value in a variety of reasons, poor students, so that the teacher seemed successful in teaching, because there can be no value of 4 or 5 in the report cards and so forth. Why are teachers being so, why the value of many students who have not completed, wrong to teachers?? The answer could be yes may not, be it because maybe the teacher is not competent enough to teach, can not, because the Indonesian education system requires students to learn subjects that are too much. The average area of study they must learn the lessons for one year is 16 fields of study, with the material for each field of study too much, abstract and not in accordance with the needs of students.

Frankly in this case I prefer to blame the Indonesian education system, our education system is too force the child to be mastered so many areas of study with such abstract material, which in turn makes the child feel stress / stress that impact them like absenteeism, sick of school, tawuran, cheating, and others. That ultimately they can not do the test properly, their value is less remidi after they were done, and to be able to teach or because there must be no less value or because of poor students can load too much, and teachers to manipulate the value of report cards. Value of this report cards and then used as the basis to obtain a scholarship or go to college or join PMDK and others. Did students will this harsh reality? Then if the UN solution to see the ability of students? No, because the UN is not fair, that the ability of students can not be standardized.

I believe God created man not stupid, that there is a trend we are too late to know of their competence, from the little they've conditioned if not practically forced, to do or learn something that does not suit their needs and their psychological development.

I think educating is to prepare students to face real life, real life is a life where they are no longer dependent on their parents, lives in which they can solve their own all their problems wisely.

I so remember the passage of writing in a book "Opium school": education must berorientsi to the introduction of reality, an objective or subjective as the subjective consciousness and the ability to objectively a dialectical function in man in connection with the often conflicting realities that must be understood and faced. The education process is to humanize humans.

Back again with UN issues, human competence can not be standardized and in the rankings, all have strengths and weaknesses, even if not enforced there is standardization, improved Indonesia's education system first, and standardization imposed on those who had the same basic competency, it's only fair.

Indeed many observers of education in Indonesia is already aware of this, many of their writings, both in the educational articles, books and even educational, but the government will turn a blind eye as brilliant ideas they. Our education system is a means of satisfying the needs of government, and parents, rather than a system tailored to the needs of students. Students are unconsciously bound by the ideas implanted parents and teachers and even the government, a free man when they are free to determine their own destiny.

Recent years, several friends began to implement in home schooling their children, a friend of his son's doing it because demand for 14-year-old, because the children feel school is boring, time consuming and can not answer all the questions in mind, not in accordance with what they need, therefore he decided to not go to school, he was more interested immersed in reading books. Be thankful the child because she has parents who can understand that the school is not the only way to educate their children. Interesting taste Roem read this: "No less than twelve years to complete to school time. In a relatively long and tedious, if just fill it with sitting, records, and occasionally play an important listening to teachers lecture in front of the class table. Through the school could reached the post and got sneered. summary of school people to be able to print the officials but also criminals. Still it appropriate to recognize the role of schools in developing the sole person ".

Apparently a lot of choices that can be done by a student, regardless of whether the parents can understand or do not wish their child. No school is a very tough decision, various kinds of objections would arise, what about the discussion, how about the equation of perception of a problem, if not in school, how to find a conducive environment for learning, or more commonly, because our nation is a nation that crazy prestige and titles, how about the job, if you do not have a title. Foof is the most detestable, the school only to find the title??.

In students, the first time I asked when entering the class what their preferences are and what they desire, all kinds of answers came out there, and most of them have a desire that is opposed by parents. Concern is not it? There was a student like me who kebut-kebutan on the street, he dimarahilah-out? Have parents ask why they do that? My students are actually very good at modifying the motor. Indeed khan parents can discuss the best solution, without scold all out.

If you are still schools that would be the only means to educate a person, then the Indonesian education system should be changed, should not impose the students, curriculum tailored to the basic competencies of each student, field of study is taught is not too much and materials for each field of study adapted to the development of students. Rampe Ubo others such as educational facilities and teachers' welfare should come improved. Enlarged educational subsidies, charges and cutting funds and others abolished.

For students who dare to take the decision to not continue their education, who realized that the UN is not everything, who realized that learning could be anywhere in accordance with the wishes, interests and needs, salute them, believe the title is no guarantee someone's success. Many graduates are unemployed, did not realize what their desires and interests, as long as it consciously or not they have made Indonesia's education system robots.
