MY IDEAL SCHOOL
Oleh Meutia Arinta (kelas XI Aksel)

As we know education nowadays is very important, and school is like a fuel in the education wheel, and we know also that many people are still confused about, what is the most suitable school for me or even for my children? What is the ideal school? What are the criteria of ideal school? And many more… so that’s why at this time let me share my ideas about my ideal school.
If I talk about the ideal school, I must first think about the ideal country, because in my opinion, the factor involved in an ideal country run parallel to those for an ideal school, for example human resources, natural resources and reconstruction, cooperation, economy and law, location, and the activities themselves.

1. Human Resources
Human resources combine all of the people in that school, for example teachers, students, and the entire school members. Ideal school needs extremely good human resources. Why? You can imagine some country, which is rich and fertile but that country has no good human resources or citizens capable to handle that country? What will happen? You can imagine that, maybe chaos or even collapse like our country now. So that’s why the human resources are important. But kind of human resources also have to be selected, I hope in my ideal school my teachers not only have ability in teaching but also can understand the students and be a friend for the students. Continuously support the student and have to become source of information not only source of subjects.

2. Natural Resources and Reconstruction
Natural resources means environment and reconstruction means facility, I think the environment of the ideal school must be clean and has a green environment, this factor has a purpose in order to produce a lot of oxygen for all the school members, because some research said that oxygen has a big correlation with human concentration and ability of the brain, because oxygen can make our blood in our body work easily. So the student can study in school freshly and teacher can teach clearly. And facilities are also very important because they can support the activities of the students, facilities must also be complete, like sport locales, canteen, buildings, labs and many more.

3. Cooperation
Cooperation here means the togetherness and good relationships between students and teachers, and among the number of school members. Ideal school must bring a competitive atmosphere around the student, and make the student eager to study and do the best; students can learn how to live too, because ideal school must mimic real life. Students also can be taught how to respect people, how to socialize with each other, and so on. Because good cooperation will bring a good atmosphere in to school life.

4. Economy and Law
Economy here means school fees, and law means school regulations. School fees must reasonable and can be reached by everyone, and also that school should have some scholarships for those who are smart but may be unlucky, so this school will open many opportunities on all economic levels. School regulations must be logical and not make the students feel like they are in a prison; school regulations have to make the students become discipline and independent, without using corporal punishment.

5.Location
The location of the ideal school must be strategic and has easy access, so it can be reached easily, but the place must far from public crowdedness and busy roadways. This statement has a purpose to minimize the number of possible accidents.

6.Activities
Activities mean that school can combine the 3 factors of human quotients; those are intelligence, emotional and spiritual. Intelligence means that the student can have some activities that make their whole brain work to the maximum and critical thinking, for example like problem solving on the student level and has a high standard of curriculum. Emotion quotient stimulates their instinct to help people who need, like scouts and Red Cross. And most of all is in spiritual sector, because knowledge without religion will be useless, because however we still need God next to us in our daily life.

So from all my explanations are showing us that ideal school has big correlation with ideal country, from human resources, natural resources and reconstruction, cooperation, economy and law, location, and activities.
