School is a place or medium for children to develop their character by learning various types of knowledge taught by teachers who have expertise in their respective fields.
School also teaches children to be able to live, interact, and socialize well with others, but why does school sometimes become a place where ethics and manners change when some policies are considered too biased towards students?
Is it because of the changing times that demand educators to “serve” their students? Or is it that these policies become a protection for students from the harshness of the education provided by their teachers?
History records that without struggle and the rigor of education in this country, how could independence in this archipelago be achieved?
This opinion can be seen in several areas of society, where children who have “problematic” family lives often neglect their feelings and affection towards their children.
As a result, this causes the behavior of these children to change just to seek attention and affection from others. Sometimes they do things that are considered inappropriate just to gain attention from educators at school.
This is merely the author’s opinion based on various teaching experiences at every level of education, from elementary to higher education.
Of course, the author’s experience is not always the same as that of other educators, but viewed from the perspective of the existing problems, almost every level of education is currently experiencing an extraordinary moral crisis.
Therefore, the author hopes that readers can share experiences and suggestions that can help build the thinking of educators in facing every problem in schools.
As reported by Beautynesia, Kobi Education Blog, Jagran Josh, and The WorldGrad, “The best education systems in the world are often said to be held by countries like Singapore, South Korea, Japan, Finland, Denmark, and Germany, but none are absolute because the assessment depends on focus (academic, creativity, equality).
Singapore, China, and Japan excel in PISA tests (reading comprehension, mathematics, science).” Finland is known for its focus on character, professional teachers, and minimal testing.
Meanwhile, Germany and Denmark stand out for free, quality, and practice-oriented education, while the U.S. and Canada are known for their flexible and holistic systems.
From this quote, it means that each country has its own policies in training their generation through education highlighted for the needs of each
country. What do you think?

Menurut saya, sekolah perlu menemukan keseimbangan antara melindungi siswa dan mendidik karakter. Sebagai guru, kita harus bersikap tegas, namun juga peduli dan memahami kondisi siswa. Dengan begitu, pendidikan tidak hanya menghasilkan siswa yang pintar, tetapi juga berakhlak dan bertanggung jawab.
Terima kasih..semoga hal demikian.aamiin
