Full-day school is a new “questionable” system.

Full-day school: Better or not?



Full-day school is known as a new educational system in Indonesia. Actually, this system has been applied in Indonesia since a long time ago. Islamic boarding school in Indonesia has already used this system since long time ago (Nurfatoni,2016). Nowadays, the government tries to apply this system for ordinary schools. This plan is declared by Muhadjir Effendy, the newest Minister of Education and Culture. It is designed for Elementary and Junior High School students (Wahono,2016). It does not mean that students will study a whole day long. This system requires students to spend their time more at school from 7 a.m to 5 p.m. Muhadjir said that the system will help parents to control their children. This system is also as a character building and also to develop their potentials (Fachrudin,2016). However as a new policy, this system is still being questioned before it can be applied.


The first thing is, students can loss their childhood time. The students are too young and need to have a lot of times to play with their friends and time with their parents. This system requires student’s time too much. They must spend their time more at school to study and improve their potentials. On the other hand, students at this age also need time to play with their friends, so they can develop their emotion, physical, and their cognitive abilities. It means, they cannot have enough time to play. Playing is the best way for them to know their body and their environment, and they can use their five senses at that time. Students also need to spend more time with their parents. That time makes the parents can oversee their children when they are still playing or watching something, so they can teach their child which one is good or bad for them. Having more time with parents also can make a good connection between the students with their parents.


This system also can make the students to get stressful easily. Students mostly use their time at school to study. It can easily make the students stressful, because they do not have time to refresh their mind and they only see their school environment. They spend their time just for study. They only see the same person day by day, the same environment, and the same things. They cannot use their time to explore something about this world. This pressure can make the students to get stressful easily with a lack of refreshing time.
     

The other thing is, this system impedes the students from social relationship. Elementary and Junior High School students are on young age. They need to socialize with their neighborhood. They need to make a new friend. They need to learn how to interact, how to speak and how to act in a community. It will not make them a passive person. At that age, socializing is important, so they can improve their confidence, their bravery, and make them more care about something. Socializing also can make the students more communicative and know how to solve something. Would we use this system and takes all the risk that may come to our children?

Students at that age really need more times to interact. Interaction and communication will build them into a person with a good character. They can learn how to speak, how to act, how to solve problem in the community. Spending a lot of times at school to study are worthless, because it can makes the students became selfish. This system also cannot ensure the parents that their child will smarter. Overall, this system is still unsuitable for Elementary and Junior High School students.
