MY LOVER IS YOUR LOVER
CHAPTRE 021

“Anders, how was today at school? All current?” ask Alex to Anders.

“No problem, and still no case.” the answer is short.

“Now means third day huh?”

“Iya, pa. There are still two more days until this MOS is finished.”

“Three days, should've got a lot of friends dong. Or indeed from the committee still form the same group?” ask Alex to be curious.

“Nope, today there are only a few messages from the vice head of the student body, the rest are regular tasks and there are games before going home.”

“Wah, if papa first time SMA there is no such thing as games. Even papa used to be educated almost every day very hard. Wrong dikit told push up or squat jump.”

“Wait, according to papa, why the system can be different from what papa alamin used to be with what Anders alamin now?”

Alex scrunched his forehead and thought about what was the right answer to his firstborn's question.

Not usually for Alex who is famous for talking rationally even spontaneously.

This time, he thought about also why the reason behind the current educational change.

Finally after a while struggling with his mind and dig up the information he had received from colleagues who worked as academics. He finally explained it to Anders.

According to Alex, the change in the education system from the era he had experienced until now his son entered high school is because the current era has become more civilized.

But also there are still many out there parents who still boast of the educational model they used to take.

For them, a hard education can make children have a mentality as hard as steel anyway.

With so much torture for verbal and physical makes them have a stronger endurance as well.

Maybe it has a point, when at that time there was still very little information obtained. As a result, the teenager at that time also did not complain about what he received.

Because there was nothing that could compare to what they got back then.

Unlike today where the word globalization seems to have happened almost ninety percent.

All children can access the information they want and they need according to their wishes.

Content or articles or media influences from western culture that in fact have advanced far ahead indirectly they make comparisons.

Therefore, when they get inappropriate treatment. They will complain about the differences that occur.

No doubt if at this time even children who have sat on the bench of Junior High School alone can take advantage and maybe in quotation marks abuse the authority of human rights.

They do not hesitate to report to their parents. And often they say different things in front of their parents, and not according to the facts that have happened.

The response of their parents is also still a lot of excessive. As it is not so accepted if their child gets the consequences for the wrong actions have been done by their child.

Knowing this, parents will also mostly go directly to the school to ask for accountability.

Sometimes, there are some who do not hesitate to report trivial and such things to the authorities, such as the police.

Alex explained to his son, that this change in the education system in Indonesia reaped many positive things as well as many negative things.

He emphasized to his son, not Alex wanted to demonize education in Indonesia, but indeed every change that occurred will always be sacrificed.

Every change must be accompanied by so much criticism and opposition, but also balanced with advice and support.

For Alex, ancient education did have a good side that he explained earlier, but there is also a side that is not good.

The hard education that Alex used to have when he was in school was the formation of a strong mentality and the resistance to crying for such things.

Also with the many physical punishments he received, making his body more have better endurance.

However, the bad side is that those who are currently adults or even in old age will tend to have a hard and conservative character.

It cannot be separated from teaching him how to keep things well, if not going to get punished.

While education today is a civilized modern education, the good side is that those who have taken this education will have broader insights and knowledge.

That can happen, because children today are freed to access so much information.

If they make a mistake and have an impact on him, then it becomes his responsibility it changes what has been caused.

On the other hand, the bad side is that many children do not have a sense of belonging to something. Because so much and free information or principles they receive.

For them, the loss of principle is commonplace and natural, they assume that if they have lost it they can still find it at a later time.

Also the side that Alex thinks is not good is not located in children or anyone who has received education today.

But in the role of parents and also supporting institutions.

The unpreparedness of both parents about modern education is also one of the obstacles why Indonesia is still stuck in the word “process” which somehow ends.

The combination of coarse and pushy parents, with open-minded children and broader knowledge can also be a serious problem in the future.

Therefore, Alex explained to Anders that however and whatever happens, must be able to communicate with each other with himself and his mother.
