This Your Job, kids!

*I teach 6/7 days as you know, privately or in formal institution in Yogyakarta.
Monday: a 1st grade and a 5th grader
Wednesday: 21 6th grader
Thursday: 5 5th grader in the evening and a 6th grader at night
Wednesday: a 1st grade and a 5th grader
Sunday: 16 1th-9th grader at my house
(oops, 5 out of 6 days)

so, we discuss about ecosystem balance in the class today. I gave them an article about Orang Utan, Badak bercula 1, pembakan hutan, penambangan pasir, and Freeport. I asked them to read it, find the 5W+1H and give a respond on it. Then, one by one they have to share it in front of the class and said what they thought.
on the end of the presentation, they just seem so annoyed with all we, human, have done. Imam said, "So, are we Indonesian that stupid making the agreement with US about Freeport?" I replied, "Well, we used to."
Agsa said, "That's really annoying how we get 1% out of 99% we have there. It should be at least 50% for us!" and I said, "So, this is your guys job to take it back, right?" they were quiet but they nodded.
Love them so much :)

Back to write!

If you notice, 2017 was the last time I wrote journals. It was early time I am working, perhaps when personal spaces were abundant. Yet time flies so fast, and here I am at the end of 2022. There is nothing to look back on besides my post on the mainstream social media channel. It feels dry. Looking at the pictures without context. Though they are beautiful, they provide a lack of reflection whatsoever. As there are no pages to recall, stories may fade away. At the age of the so-called identity crisis, let's make it a go, creating my own space to share moments and thoughts, so it won't go away. So, what do you wanna hear first?

think again

1. going home early like always in Pak Tata class. well, doesn't really matter cause most of us love it. we're gonna say that this is the best class ever, isn't it? 2. in the other hand, Vokasi, heard about that from friends and the announcement. how UKT seems not right, for some, they say it's not fair and too much money they pay than they should.  so, let's think again. compare my statements above. is it something right that we should happy for or not? so, why do we have to ask for dispensation then? so, think again :)
