Images of Labsky (Rininta Ayunina)

Hi Readers! This is Rininta Ayunina or as this blog says ‘Erin’ taking over the blog. How was your first day of Ramadhan? I bet you guys feel as hungry as I did yesterday. :p

So, I kinda interviewed four of my classmates. The aim of my interview is to know how was their education life and what do they think about education system in Indonesia nowadays, which in my opinion isn’t as good as other countries.

I’m not gonna say the names of my interviewee for the sake of confidentiality. A little peek-a-boo, two of them went to the same junior high school, in Labschool Kebayoran, and two of them went to different junior high school but they both joined acceleration class.

So, I’ll be showing you my questions with each of those questions’ answers and conclusion. Q for me and A for interviewee.

Q: How was your days in elementary school?

A: All of the interviewee said that elementary school was fun. The teachers were kind and there are some of the teachers that has bad tempers but they all think it is okay. One of the interviewee said that the school even provided board games to kill the boredom. Conclusion: elementary school was fun and the teachers were kind.

Q: When you get out from your old school and start to be a student of junior high school, how did you handle with the adaptation?

A: Three of the interviewee said that they often get confused at the beginning but as the time goes, they find it not so difficult. One of the interviewee that joined the acceleration class said that the seniors were very welcoming. Conclusion: the adaptation wasn’t so difficult.

Q: How was your days in junior high school?

A: All of the interviewee said that junior high school was tiring. To be more detail, in the 7^th grade they got tired because of the adaptation, in 8^th grade they got tired because of the activities, and in 9^th grade they got tired because of the preparation for the national examination. The teachers were kind, but not kinder than their teachers in elementary school. One of the interviewee said that the school provided a computer for the classes. Conclusion: junior high school was tiring but the teachers were kind.

Q: What do you think of the education in Indonesia nowadays? And what governments should do to improve?

A: One of the interviewee said that the governments wants the students to master every single aspects so they forgot the details and the students couldn’t really master one aspect perfectly. Three of the interviewee said that the governments neglect the students’ talents and interests and personality issues and too focused about academics and high grades. Three of the interviewee said that the governments should allow students to choose their main subject based on their talents and interests and one of the interviewee said that the government should build more school that also focusing about personality and character. Conclusion: Indonesia’s education is still far from good and the governments should think more of the benefits that students would get.

So that is the education system of Indonesia based on the students’ point of view. Happy fasting for our dearest readers! Xoxo, erin (on behalf of the sky smarties girls). <3
