We Challenges in Education (to Part-1)

Introduction
The challenge is not "opponents" that we must overcome, or defeated by a game like us. The challenge here means that we are facing many issues that make us behave.

Education is a system that consists of various elements or components. elements that include teachers, students, parents, community, materials, facilities, infrastructure, education, and other things that can not be mentioned in this article. Teachers as one component of education that can not be super human. He was facing the same challenge in the general public. To maintain the "good" in this work needed to support the network.

Private teacher
Research shows that a good teacher is a good example. He has a passion for teaching the students respect the opinions, hard work, dare to take risks, and become a reformer. Educate the profession and associated with love, creativity, discipline, problem-solving ability, and ability to extend the time. So much of human life is untouched by education. Therefore, to be a teacher who is also an educator, a teacher must be able to become a nurse, guidance Counselors, parents, grandparents, friends and learning. And as a teacher in May claims that are still far from good.

Paradox is when I find a student who said that his father suggested, "Do not ever become a teacher because of small salary." I said to the children so that they ask their father, whether he want children taught by teachers well? "money and fame is not part of the profession" good teacher. "There is satisfaction when teaching that can not be met with a salary, that if we work with a sense of responsibility for themselves, and all interference by itself will be lost.

In Class
A key challenge in education is to make children want to read. The more students read and write, the more open the possibility to explore new ideas and the world become more knowledgeable. Children learn to read and learn to read.

Competence of each student is different. If teachers and parents from the group "needs attention" with the students before, we see that the students who need a lot of attention is often marginalized, while the advanced students even get a lot of things. This certainly is not fair. We know that education also means helping each person understand how valuable the whole system itself.

When students grow with the city's large satellite, computers, air conditioners, and the Internet, we also need to think of children in a small town or in the corner. They are also entitled to receive an education equal to the children of the "top" is. Perhaps it is the language of children. Attitudes they need improvement. But we must also remember that we can still develop them.

In this case we can not only teach mathematics, science, and history. We must also teach them about life. About how to communicate with each other. The way to end the conflict with peaceful struggle, and how to get what they want or ideals that you want.

However, that often happens is the poor economy, the education system is also poor. We need to remember there is no one test can predict the remaining life of someone. They also may not have a school is to see the success of teaching only from the "value" is established at the time of the test.

Test results with a value of 1-10 serious doubt. That does not mean anything. Only children found pieces of paper labeled "value" may not leave children or the ability to truly full. What exactly is the value that truly reflect the child's ability in this field? Value is not the only measure of success or not someone in the future. Teachers present to help students to develop their ability.

Children need to know the problems in the real world. They need to be given the opportunity to understand, to solve, Educators also need time to find out what children think, how they, and what they are heading, and not just run it as a curriculum.

In School
The importance of achievement, not the characteristics of the school. Although I have to recognize the human character, the schools will face difficult position when it must choose between reaching the target of the school or schools to create more healthy and strong in the achievement of the ideal for several years. But still need to remember that the school always holds two different roles. First, they patronize traditional values. Second, schools have a responsibility to make changes and respond to problems from time to time.

Many things that must be faced by children in the real world, so I feel that the presence of educators to make them feel comfortable while at school. With the modality to go to court with the alleged presumption is not guilty, the court should believe. If the teacher does not believe the students, how students will put its faith? With this attitude can be a class of mutual respect, have integrity, love, accept, and have a feel.

Dig back SCHOOL FUNCTIONS

Usually if a teacher gets to teach what questions in the school, the general answer is to teach language, mathematics teaching, teaching art, teaching or another field of study. In general, information and knowledge from the teacher (guru) to student (student). To get students who do not understand so understand, that does not understand to be familiar. This is in general still do the teachers at the school until now. Why?

Yes because the market demand, which clearly is the students who want to print the school only to become fitter. So, perforce aspects of teaching that is more visible then. This phenomenon is that the achievements of someone who is the most valued achievements, he was placed on top of everything. Book or certificate of student evaluation reports distributed decorated a number of high pride that makes students, especially parents. As though all of that with someone of the future is certain guaranteed.

Therefore, schools must provide students with various proficiency life (life skills) in order to face the future with a very complex problem that changes to institutions that served only to print children's clever. Meet the printing demands of small children is not necessarily clever work that easy, considering a child can be a very clever or not depends on many factors. Not only a teacher, parents, environment, and that is not less important is the children of their own. In addition, the criteria used are the parents (community) to determine a child's clever or not is also very simple. Origin of the child can pass the test can be considered intelligent, so it does not consider how to get value.

Truly ironic, clever and rich, but lost their way and do not have the attitude of life. Smart but spiritual crisis, handling people, and does not feel alive. One needs to be owned by our children now. All this may be because education has changed as a "factory", as told by Ivan Illich. People forget, that for success, not only smart enough. It is true versatility able to print money. However, life is not only successful, if only to see the amount of money.

Does not pervade all of life can be purchased with money. educate children who are not moral, but more economic aims. Many parents are still hoping that the school is not able to print money. Imagine that schools such as the exhibition space to display the sophisticated equipment in order to attract as many students, guidance or learning institution is to help students solve problems concerning the test. So do not wonder if every day activities of teachers tend to teach only.

Traditional values which had previously relied strengthen moral character in children missing school starts. Which lasted only for the transfer of knowledge to create clever children, but not given a map of life. Children become great, the knowledgeable, but minus the moral personality, such as lost cluster Humanism. Intelligent use only the brain is not enough. So that the children soon become a whole human being, then the direction, spirituality, mental rigidity, and meanings that need to be given to school children. Returns the direction of the importance of vision and mission locality context, universal humanity, and the quality of leadership is important. So the schools need to be a place where development laboratory led to the style of leadership and executive engineers of the personality, so that future students to become professors of happiness.

Not easy indeed, the two functions of the school tasks at once: to teach and educate. But if the school no longer will have to make clear the meaning and function of school, he will only print your name, and not a large person. So sometimes there said vite non sed scholae discimus, learning not to live but to the school. Schools actually make the picture even though the rich taste without the power and wealth.

Life science children

Sometimes we as parents forget one thing, that the child is a unique time. Children are not miniature adults. Children have the right to grow and develop appreciated. Every child has the experience - and of course the experience that is different from other children. Every child has a particular experience to see, touch, feel, hear, and so forth, so that involves the relationship between brain cells, which will develop more communication occurs, the ability to learn better.

Not only food, nutrition and diet, which affect the child's development or the development of advanced life, but also determined by stimulation from the environment is conducive to making children will grow and "rich". Every child has a special talent, one of which is science. Science can be given to children since the age of 2 years. Because essentially every child has a soul sains.Hal clear psychological basis as children:

Observed
Sometimes we often find things such as children, such as objects with various shapes, bright colors or something that moves. For example, toys such as the windmill with a different color paper.

Request
Sometimes we as parents of children who made fuss with various questions. What is found, many children often ask. Not infrequently the parents get overwhelmed questions that made the children. - Children. Some parents can not wait, and just improvise.

It's curiosity
Children basically want to have the sense to know that great. For example, he would like to know why propeller - propeller can rotate, the water can flow and so forth.

try it - the new
As a curiosity a large, children often try something new, he does not even realize that the "new experiment" very dangerous.

Parents must accompany the child and facilitate essentially natural. In addition to developing the concept, but will also develop logical mathematical intelligences, and the natural creativity of children - children. Knowledge of mathematics in the early childhood activities with different adults. Provision of children is very simple, but enough power to stimulate critical and creative children.

The stages of early childhood activities, including:

1. Observe or Observation
Observe this activity involves not only vision but also involve other senses, such as: Viewing, Listening, Feeling, smell a rat.
Sample activities: Children are required to distinguish the smell in the kitchen some flavor, texture distinguish flour, sand and so forth

2. Classification
In this activity, children can do some of the classification process:
- The process of grouping objects in the group - the group.
- Study to see similarities and differences
- Distinguish the things that most basic, such as color, shape, size and weight.
As ex:
• children are asked to separate color shirt button
• separate the rounded shape, the box, and triangle
• play with the scale, children are required to distinguish the more serious. Can also use the right hand and left hand, where there are more objects on the left or right, and so forth.
In this classification process, children not only to train the soul in the process of science but also the children's ability to practice the basic concepts of mathematics or mathematics that he have.

3. Communication
Involved in communication
- Express what is thought
- Explain, and can make a sentence diskripsi
- Create a picture, posters, symbols, and maps
Children need a very motivated and want to be able to express the observation that even simple oral. This stage, will help the children in order to have a series of knowledge and new vocabulary such as melt, melt, float, sink, cracked, and so forth.

4. Process
The process of this activity is to create a form of information obtained. Can compare, differentiate, menjari mate, sort, group, and record. Any information would be very valuable and useful if the recording does not have any posts should be, for children who can not write can take a picture. Leaving the children drawing what is processed in accordance with ability. With a note or drawing, the child can repeat or remember what has been done. In addition, with a note or picture can tell a child on a friend or teacher. This is the pride of a solitary child.

5. Measure
Measure is an activity to obtain quantitative information. In science there is

5 basic measurements which include:
- Length
- Volume
- Weight
- Temperature
- Time

6. Previse
This activity is the process to predict the results of an experiment or trial. Can usually start with the statement "According to you what would happen if ..."

7. Inferring
In the process of inferring, children are given the opportunity to be trained and skilled to provide the conclusion and analyze the language of children. For example, children are given a question why things happen, or what can happen? Based on some of the stages and nature of children, parents must be a facilitator so that children can grow optimally. Parents can provide stimulation to the various experiments or experiments at home.

We Challenges in Education (Part-2 to, the end)

In Family
Changes that occur in the family life of students. Many of them come from families that problem. In fact, the author does not make the technology successful student learning, but destruction of the family continue to make the education of children to be porous.

The author does not find many children who were freed to speak at home, in schools and teachers say students are very noisy. I ask again when the children have the opportunity to speak and be heard? According to the authors, teachers and parents must become partners in the learning of children.

There are many things parents can do so that her children come to school with a readiness to learn. According to the experience of the author, if the parents do not support their children is one of two reasons. First, they do not know how to support their children. Or second, they did not know that their support is very important for their children.

Many people think their children are picked up for school buses, both school. And they also need to realize what their duty as parents who accompany their children.

In Society
One of the challenges in education at this time is to improve the general impression from the teachers. What is wrong in our education not only because the teachers. We must return to the status of teaching as a profession in the right.

We accept the responsibility of a larger and more, with feeling of gratitude that less. In teaching, the road that must often be lengthy, difficult, full of feeling frustrated, even as the "ideal teacher" we can not compare the challenges and awards.

Disease who also have a school. We seem surprised that the problems of poverty, homeless, drugs, pregnancy, suicide, and students appear in the school. Several cases of suicidal students decorate the columns of a newspaper that was already loaded the criminal law and the more egregious.

Now we can not release, separate, school, community and home. If a student uses drugs, he could not remove while in school. If a pregnant student, he can not cover. With all of the issues have now, teachers have to be a tool bantu parents.

If people asked about the most difficult problem at this time, I believe the answer is a problem with the communication partner, communication in families, communication with colleagues, financial, and child rearing. The author thinks education should provide opportunities for students to learn the problems that started from the control of their personal feelings towards the settlement of the problem more complicated.

I want to convey to the community that education is an effective community is important for all of us. We need education for all, public awareness, cooperation, cooperation between parents, communities, and educators together to invest in the future. Because we know in education, we invest the sake of the future, children, and our nation.

At the end of the
If parents, educators, students and the community is the responsibility of each, we can meet the standards even more. Education must be seen as a form of cooperation. Thus, the task of educating teachers is a shared responsibility between the school system, families, religious institutions, and communities. Teaching profession will not be successful if only one party to realize that.

As educators, we have many challenges. work and many problems in front of the eye. But we also believe the future will be brisk. When we feel "turned off" by the rhetoric responsibility, tests, and standards of performance, we need to remember our one mission is to help children learn well. Remember! Educators is not a precedent with the shadow stack of paper that must be considered. Work and teaching is a team effort. Teachers need support. Without the cooperation of all parties, namely parents, teachers, community members, and policymakers, the teacher will not be able to complete the job.

The complexity of teaching as a challenge worth the effort and dedication to get the biggest. No two days. Every day is different. Teachers' work is the adventure that brings together many different things from all areas of life.
