Road to be Brainy



       Talking about education, we cannot deny that education is very essential for us because the person who has a highly education is more successful than person who is not since the erudite person has the knowledge that is helpful for his/her future life. Besides, it makes person can develop the better life and elevate the degree of the ignorance. Thereby, there is a regulation on requiring people to study for 12 years continued to attend the lecture for 4 years. As we know, the children’s learning capabilities do not correspond to the type of school. For this result, the parents should be able to determine the appropriate school for their children by distinguishing the educational system; boarding school and public school. There are some aspects to identify the equations and distinctions of education system between boarding school and public school.

                                                       Boarding School
                                                      Public School

       Boarding school and public school have several equations. Both boarding school and public school are formal school, which is the hierarchical and structural education that consists of elementary school, junior high school, and senior high school; furthermore, formal school has the activity that is oriented to the learning and teaching process. Besides, boarding school and public school have similar extracurricular; football, basketball, marching band, qosidah, mading, pencak silat and scout.

       On the contrary, boarding school and public school also have some distinctions. The first distinction is the curriculum. Boarding school mostly is independent school, it means Kyai or the headmaster of boarding school creates the curriculum for teaching and learning process. Hence, the subjects are Aqidah, Muthala’ah, Shorof, Nahwu, Durusullughoh for Arabic language and Biology, Mathematics, Chemistry, Physical Science, Sociology for Indonesian language. Differ from the boarding school, the curriculum of public school is created from the Ministry of National Education. This curriculum named KTSP, education unit level curriculum, refers to the content standard (SI) and graduate competence standard (SKL); moreover, the curriculum is developed as a guideline for teaching and learning activities to achieve the goals of national education. As the consequence, the subjects are Religious subject, Civic Education, Mathematics, Science and Social Education.

       The second distinction is the spirituality. Boarding school has higher religious value than public school, because the students who live in boarding school must begin the activity at 3.30 or 4.00 am, in the morning. They do Tahajud Prayer, recite Al-Quran, and do Shubuh Prayer in congregation at the mosque. In addition, there is the extracurricular lecture that is conducted by ustad or ustadzah twice in a week. He or she has important role in the boarding school, for the illustration he or she becomes the teacher, good model, supervisor or controller for the students. Unlike boarding school, the students who study in public school may do solat, recite Al-Quran in congregation, and hear the extracurricular lecture. Yet, those activities are only conducted by the students who join in Islamic spiritual extracurricular or Rohis.

       The third distinction is the method of learning. In boarding school, most of the students learn by memorizing a text of Arabic and English languages. It has some purposes; to support the conversation of two languages and to enrich more vocabularies. Moreover, the other learning method is Bandungan. It is derived from word Ngabandungan, which is meant; notice or scrutinize. In this method, the teacher reads, explains, interprets, and gives the harakat of bald sentences in Arabic book to the students; then, the students listen to the teachers’ explanation and give the harakat and meaning of bald sentences in Arabic book. On the other hand, the learning method that is commonly used in public school is lecture method; the students keep their attention to the teacher’s explanation and do the assignment in the class; besides, there is practical work for testing the experiment in laboratory and discussion or debriefing session by forming the study groups. Moreover, there is study tour method, which is the learning method by asking the students to visit some places for expanding the knowledge that is related to the subject in the class. The places are museum, and other historical places. After that, the students are asked to make the report under the teacher’s supervision.

       From the previous explanation, we can consider the proper school for our children by identifying the education system between boarding school and public school which are the curriculum, spirituality, and method of learning. Even though both of them have different system of education, they have similar goal; educating the students. Therefore, the decision is in the parent; whether to select the boarding school or public school by considering the children’s learning ability. In my premise, if the parents want the morals’ children to be built, they have to select the boarding school, since the students are taught frequently the religious science under ustad or ustadzah’s teaching. As the result, they have good behavior and moral.
