 FULL DAY SCHOOL, SHALL WE?

“Education is what remains after one has forgotten what one has learned in
school.” This is one of popular sayings by Albert Einstein which taught us the real meaning
about education. Education is the process of facilitating learning, or the acquisition of
knowledge and skills. Nowadays, education also becomes the benchmark of how success
a person is. The longer someone acquires education, the further successful he is. For
instance, the one who graduated from university is assessed to be more successful than
the one who only graduated from senior high school. These perspectives become the
reasons that students obliged to master all the sector of knowledge and skills. Numerous
schools apply full day learning as their education system, however not all students really
able to achieve what the school wants. Not all students surely remember what have they
learned in school, and maybe they feel few of those lessons are not useful for them. There
are several nasty effects of full day school for students, such as for their health, skills,
and social.

Full day school is not genuinely effective for students’s health. Learning all day
long can impact not only their mental but also their body. According to Fenny Listyana,
an Psychologist Educational in Surabaya, full day school can ruin child’s psychology. She
argues that child has limited physical endurance. When students are forced to maintain
studying whole day, then students will face a mental fatigue, which impacts to the
effectiveness of the learning method. Besides, Sugianto, a Head of The Central Bangka
Education Office, said that education that applied in full day school will also bother their
physics, such as tiredness and body endurance. Thus, he also hopes that the school will
think over regarding this reason before applying the full day learning decision.

Studying is necessary, yet spend much time at school just for studying withstands
them to practice their passion and restricts them to develop their skills. We all familiar
with popular proverb “Practice Make Perfect,” which means that even though we have a
passion but have no time to practice, it is just nothing. Likewise full day school, which
takes our time, hence we do not have time to practice our passion. Moreover, the students
only focus on their academic scores and ignore chances to develop their abilities. All in
all, full day school not only prevent them from practice their passion but also obstruct
them to discover the skill that they have.

Likewise, there are several things that never been taught to us by the school, which
is very important for our future life like how to communicate in front of a lot of people ,
expand relations, build a great leadership skill. Based on those problems, schools ought
to think how to apply those aspects, because in this modern world, people not only
required to have mastered the academic skills but also to have mastered non-academic
skills. Why must we mastering non-academic skills? Because in this era, we are not only
forced to be a laborer but also force to be a leader among machines, manager, and etc.
Furthermore, almost all jobs in the factory can be replaced by machines in this era. As a
result, the school should think about all of those aspects to make their students have good
skills and attitudes for students’s future life.

Build upon few negative effects of full day school that we have explained in the
previous paragraphs. Full day learning very ineffective to be applied in our education
system. Many things which will impact to students’s future. Maybe few of those will not
be visible at this time, yet we do not know what will be going in the future. It is too selfish
if we only think about our own desire by insisting the students to mastering all school
objects. Whereas, they do not train their true talents well. Thus, it is a wise decision if we
think over about full day school policy with a hope that students do not feel unillaterally
burdened by this system both mentally, physically, or social life.
