The Curriculum 2013

Since the early 2013, Indonesia has new curriculum system, called Curriculum 2013. The government believe that this new curriculum is better than the previous one or KTSP. They claim this curriculum will be succesfully implemented in our education. But in fact, there are still some problems in this new system.

First, Curriculum 2013 has been introduced for about two years but there are still many school that do not understand how to implemented this new curriculum. The lack of socialisation makes teachers have difficultness to understood curriculum 2013. The still confused how to applied this system in their class. Another problem comes up from  substandart coursebooks and workbooks that has not being distribeted perfectly. The consequences is teachers have to download  the books and print it out by themself. Ofcourse this way is not effective if students have to pay cost for download and print out every meeting.

From those problems, no wonder that some experts said that curriculum 2013 is not ready yet to applied. However, the education must go on, and in order to solve those problems is the government must give massive and intensive training for teachers in each school. They have to make sure that teachers really understand in curriculum 2013 and be able to applied this system in ther class. 
The also must provide completely the instuctional materials such as coursebooks and workbooks for each school, to make easy the teacher for applied this new curriculum.
More importantly, the government must review every single aspect in this new curriculum, because no matter how perfect a concept of curriculum, it will never work if nobody can not applied.

Visited grandma's house story

                                                             The First Essay

                           I felt in love in writing when I was at elementary school, that was the first time I wrote my first essay. One day in language class, my teacher gave assignment  to wrote an essay. She asked her students made an essay with a title "Visited Grandma's House", then , all students started their essay with same sentence: "At sunday I went to my grandma's house and I was really happy..."  including me. We used that sentence like thats rule of making an essay. finally when we submited our essay to the teacher, she laugh because we had made totally similar story.
                  However, I enjoyed it. I mean, I always excited to wrote my "visited grandma's house" story. Althoug at that time I had never really visited my grandma at sunday. When I wrote this essay, felt like I was really going to there. I would write down how I was bussy for packing the night before, what things that I saw a long the way, and how my grandma smiling at the first time she looked at me. I just imagine. and wrote it down. 
                     Finally, from this first essay, I had learn that writing means imagine. I can write down what I want, what I feel, and what I know about. I really enjoyed it. And this is how my first essay made me felt in love in writing.

Truant



                                                  
                                                                        Truant
                        I felt happy whenever I’m walking through a street  with big trees in the sides. It reminded me to one of my unforgetable time. Well, I was a person who growing up with with book stories. The book that I had read very influent me at that time. Including made me being a truant.  Yes, TRUANT, especially when I was at senior high school.
                        In senior high school I felt that study in class was very borring. Ah,,imagine, I had to sit many hours while someone who I called teacher standing in front of me, and all what I can do  was just shut up and heard. They taught me with same pattern, everyday.
                       Study means when you get to know everything you wants to know, isn’t it? And that place, the class- where I just sit down, shut up, and heard- with walls in each sides, was not the one and only place  for study. That was I though. Then, my habbit to be absent began from here. Well, of course not every day. There were some  classes and some teacher that I had have not much passion for attended, then I would walk out from school. Often my friends who saw me asked “Hei…Where are you going?” I just said “Library ?”, then I walked through, left my friends with confused face behind.
                        Here was I go. The one and only public library in my city. The best thing that I  love most from this place is there were big trees along the way through this building. When I walked between the trees while the wind blow slowly, and the leaves felt beautifully was the best moment for me, made me felt like I lived in a book story. Well, I already told you before.
                       This was class. Just standing between so many books made me felt happy. In one place, felt like I could go wherever I want to go. I could know anything I want to know. That was the real study for me. No longer just sit down, shut up  and heard, and being passive. And the important thing was, I really enjoyed it.
                     Well, I didn’t mean to said that being a truant is a good thing. But I did not have any regret for being a truant in my past because it had made me to be who I am right now. Actually I wrote this essay as my reflection. I mean, sometime I asked myself, “Why I didn’t like those classes much that finally made me run away from school ?”.

I know I am going to be a teacher someday. And I really want to be a teacher. And this experience, when I was being a truant, I would make it as a modal. I would learn my best to make my students feeI comfortable in my class. I will not let  my students thought they need to run away from my class. I will not let my students being a truant.
