The Mystery of the Missing Presence Book

Bondan was engrossed in front of his laptop when Haidir approached him in the teacher's room.

"What are you busy doing?" asked Haidir while holding hands to shake hands.

Smiles spread on Bondan's lips, Haidir's hand was greeted, "Ah, not too busy, just being recap value for reporting" he replied then.

"What's Dir?" back asked Bondan when he saw Haidir had been sitting on the bench next to his desk.

"This is Mas, sorry to interrupt. Because soon after the end of the semester, I need the student absence data"

"You mean the class list I attended?" 

"The Betul is Mas"

"Who? Hasn't you asked the class secretary to collect absences to Mas?"

Haidir did not immediately answer, he briefly scratched his head and opened his mouth, "That's the problem Mas, all the class secretaries I've asked to gather absent, but yes it is.. only the sampean class has not yet gathered.."

Bondan's forehead shriveled. "Any? What's why?" said slowly.

Haidir smiled wryly, "Actually his secretary had found me Mas. But when I charged the list to attend, he said it was brought by Mr. Doni the teacher of Religion.."

"Lha did you keep asking with Mr Doni?" cut Bondan.

"It's already.."

"The result..?" Bondan did not continue the question, because he only realized that it was a stupid question, if Haidir had gotten the Present List Book from Mr. Doni would not have asked him later. So before Haidir opened his mouth he then said, "So the book is not in the class secretary and there is no in Mr. Doni, is that it?"

Haidir nodded.

Bondan sighed, he rested his body on the chair.His hands tugged at the fur of his beard that grew several strands. Then turn his head to the nose, "To be honest I also have no backup absent class Dir."

Haidir coughed small. "Well, how is the solution? I mean until I'm his guardian.."

Bondan pulled back his beard, then spontaneously patted Haidir's shoulder, "Relax Mas, I'll ask first to the Secretary of the class."

Haidir did not have a word, after saying thank you, he then went out of the room to return to his office. Haidir BK teacher at the school, he has an office space that is separate from other teachers' rooms, the goal is to be more flexible for him to deal with troubled students.

After Haidir came out, Bondan took care of his laptop, then stepped foot, which he headed to the classroom where he became his guardian. 

***

Apparently the class is empty without a teacher, the teacher who was supposed to teach apparently there are other important needs, so leave the task for students to do. But yes in reality instead of doing the task calmly, the children even noisily, some run there run here, some laugh with their friends, some even throw papers at each other. Those are the students he trusts. A class that is difficult for students to handle even though he has repeatedly given advice.

Bondan said his regards. The children turned towards him. The atmosphere was immediately silent. Then one returned his greeting, followed by the other.

Bondan stepped in, he sat on the teacher's bench. He saw his students one-on-one. One important thing a teacher has is patience, because they have to face various students with various characters.

"Whose lesson?" tanyakanya.

"Bu Sulis sir" replied Edo the class president.

"There's duty?" 

"There's Sir"

"Done yet?"

They look at each other. Edo opened his mouth again, "Some have been sir"

Bondan smile. "Yes, if it continues.. There's a time to play around, which is fitting a break..understand?"

They're nodding.

Bondan taps his index finger on the teacher's desk. "Is there anyone who is not present?"

"How many people?"

"Three Sir"

"There's evidence?"

"Which two there is sir, pain in writing, which one does not exist sir"

"Who?"

"Ando Sir.."

Ando? The child apparently has not changed, several times he warned to be diligent in school because it will affect the increase apparently not heeded.

"Well, I'm not long. which is clear later if Ando comes in please ask to meet the Father in the office. Then you just want to ask for class absences, because soon the report division, the report, You need attendance data for you to enter in the report, well please bring the attendance list here."

The children were silent and no one reacted. Bondan looked at Nabilla's face, "Billa, absent.."

"The substance is not in me, sir, yesterday it was brought by Mr. Doni." replied Bilka.

Bondan smiled, "But in Pak Doni there is no Billa.."

Nabilla was silent not to answer, nor did the others. Bondan. Only this time he became the Mayor of the Class at this vocational high school after ten years of meeting a problem where the Attendance List could be lost not to be found out.

"Well" he said, "Because you can not show the Present List is okay.but I make sure your presence is still in my report." he continued.

Nabilla looked down, as did the others. One thing that Bondan began to suspect, the loss of the Class Attendance List is not without reason, there must be a hidden reason, it could be the mischief of the students so that their absence is not recorded in the report.

After greeting again, Bondan leaves the classroom. He already had a way to get student attendance data, by collecting attendance data from other teachers, especially other teachers, especially productive teachers, because they have many hours in their respective majors.

***

That is, although it is a bit complicated Bondan still get the data of student attendance by collecting the Present List from productive teachers, he recap to be included in the report, he recap, do not forget to print one sheet to give to Mr. Haidir. 

During the reporting period, he had asked the students to clean the class, after being neat, then he entered the class. Some advice he gave before the report was shared. After that he called the names of the students according to Absent. After the report was distributed immediately he returned to the teacher's room. His job was done that day, he packed up to return home after a short conversation with another teacher.

Just his foot stepped out of the teacher room, a student called out. "Sir! Wait Sir!"

Bondan turned towards the voice. Ando? What's the kid want? 

After Ando was in front of him he asked, "What's Ndo?"

"This is wrong sir." he said while brandishing the book of report in his hand.

"What's wrong?"

"This sir. My absence is wrong sir.."

"Wrong how? I have recaps from other teachers?"

"He sir. but this is sir's fault.I should be absent without his information eight times Sir.This was written ten times Sir.." he explained.

Bondan's getting surprised, "Eh? How do you remember only the alpa eight times? You have proof?"

Ando opened his bag, he took something in the bag, as soon as his hand came out he put a book into Bondan. Books Class Present List...

***

Well, less fortunate that Ando, his intention to outsmart the teacher by hiding the Present List Book, so that the data of his absence is not recorded, it is unexpected that Mr. Bondan is not lacking in sense, he said, by collecting data from other teachers.

Mr. Bondan can understand Ando's efforts, but still he immediately gave special coaching to Ando, about his behavior is wrong, he said, about the sanctions that can be imposed for his actions and motivation so that he is encouraged to change all his behavior so far and can be diligent in school and follow learning activities.

So-called.
