QUESTIONS OF TEACHERS
source
It is Pak Rachmat's habit to give quizzes to his students in each lesson. They are very happy to play the quiz. Especially Erin, the champion of the class.
"Who is the 3rd President of the Republic of Indonesia?"
Erin hurriedly raised her hand. "I know the answer, Teacher! BJ Habibie! "She exclaimed excitedly.
"Yes, yes ...!" Mr. Rachmat confirmed Erin's answer. On her bench, Erin smiled warmly.
"Next question: What is the name of the Japanese capital?"
"Saya, Teacher!" Erin raised her hand again. "The capital of Japan is Tokyo!"
Mr. Rachmat smiled. "Your answer is right, Erin!"
"Hurray ...!" Erin cheered with satisfaction.
The sound of frogs began to be heard from some children. They do not like the attitude of Erin they consider excessive. There is also a grumble because it was preceded by the girl.
"Get ready for the next question, yes," Mr. Rachmat went on. "Who knows, nine times seven equals ...?"
"Saya, Teacher!" Erin shouted back.
"The answer is …"
Nadia, the head of the class, hurriedly interrupted. "Erin, why do you keep answering?"
"Yes, take turns! I also know the answer! "Cried Aji, the football team captain, annoyed.
"But you did not raise your hand!" Erin said.
"You always go ahead!" This time Fiko, a child who still cries in class, protests.
"Okay, okay ..." Mr. Rachmat immediately brokered before the dispute continued. "Erin, try now we give an opportunity to Aji to answer. Come on, Aji, nine times seven equals ...? "
Aji replied confidently, "Seventy-three, Teacher!"
"Hahaha ..." Suddenly the laughter of 3rd graders exploded. They laugh at Aji's wrong answer. Got such a reaction, Aji's face immediately flushed with shame.
"Huu ... it's tight, wrong too!" Erin scowled.
"Already, already!" Mr. Rachmat tapped his desk hard. The students were silent. Mr. Rachmat continued, "Your attitude was not good. If any of your friends are wrong answers, do not laugh. In fact, you should appreciate his courage to answer. Remember, you can learn from the mistakes of others and yourself. So from now on, you can not mock your friends' efforts. Okay?"
"Okay, Teacher ...!" Replied the 3rd graders in unison.
"Good!" Mr. Rachmat pointed his thumb. "Well, now we continue the quiz. Who can answer that question? "
"The answer is sixty-three!" Erin immediately shouted.
Mr. Rachmat gasped. A moment later, he smiled. He did not want to disappoint his clever student for answering his question. "You're right, Erin!"
"Yes!" Erin exclaimed delightedly. His face shone as he managed to answer Mr. Rachmat's question. He did not care about his friends' annoyed looks.
Mr. Rachmat looked at the watch in his right hand. "Well, ten minutes' time." Then he looked at his students. 'That means, it's time to write a journal. Yes, you can write now. "
The 3rd grade students immediately took out their journal books. Writing a journal is another custom applied by Mr. Rachmat. Through the journal, students are usually asked to write what they experienced that day. Sometimes they write their feelings, either happy, sad, embarrassed or upset. After they were written, the journals were placed on Pak Rachmat's desk. By the time the students were home, Mr. Rachmat took the time to read it. From there, Pak Rachmat can know the problems facing each pupil and find a way to solve them.
TENG! TENG! TENG! The bell's back from school ran all over the school.
"See you tomorrow, Children!" Mr. Rachmat waved his hand.
One by one the children came out in an orderly manner. Erin stands before Mr. Rachmat before he leaves.
"Tomorrow we play quiz again, yes, Teacher?" He pleaded.
"Insya Allah!" Nodded Mr. Rachmat.
Class was quiet. Mr. Rachmat is now sitting in his chair. He began to open his student journals.
Erin writes:
Teacher, I like to play quizzes. Today I am happy to be able to answer all of Mr. Teacher's questions. I'm sure tomorrow I can answer more questions correctly.
Then Aji's journal. The boy wrote:
I was embarrassed, because my answer was wrong while playing the quiz earlier. Fortunately Mr. Rachmat is not angry. But I do not like Erin. He's arrogant!
The third journal belongs to Nadya:
Today Pak Rachmat gave us a quiz. The problems are easy. Actually I can answer it. But Erin always precedes me. He should also share opportunities for others.
Mr. Rachmat keeps reading journal after journal. Last is Fiko's:
I do not like to play quizzes. Boring! Moreover, Erin never give opportunity to others. Smart bastard!
Mr. Rachmat smiled reading the journal Fiko. Yes, Erin is smart. But he did not like his friends for never giving them a chance to answer. In addition, Erin often belittles her friends.
Mr. Rachmat sat pensively in his chair. What to do to solve this problem?
The next day, Mr. Rachmat meets 3rd graders again. "How, are you ready to play the quiz again?" Mr. Rachmat offered brightly.
Almost some of the students immediately complained and only Erin was enthusiastic. "I'm ready, Teacher! I am ready!"
Nadya raised her hand. "Teacher, I would like to play a quiz. But Master must be fair, yes. Students in this class are not just one person, "Nadya glanced sarcastically at Erin.
"I do not want to follow!" Said Fiko resentfully. "Bored!"
The other students fuss about refusing to play the quiz. While Erin pretended not to care. Mr. Rachmat raised his hands to calm the classroom. The disciples calmed down at once.
"We'll play the quiz. But ... "Mr. Rachmat hung his sentence.
"But what, Master?" Aji asked curiously.
Mr. Rachmat smiled. "But sorry ..." Mr. Rachmat cleared his throat, "Master's throat is ill. Teacher does not seem to be able to read it. "
"Well ..." Erin immediately broke down. "So the quiz is off?"
"Of course not," Mr. Rachmat replied. "We'll keep playing the quiz. But there will be someone who replaces Teacher. "
"Who, Sir?" Erin stared curiously.
Mr. Rachmat fell silent for a moment while smiling. Then he looked at Erin. "You."
Erin gasped. "Hah? Me, Master? "
"Yes, you, Erin. Come on, come here. Children, give us a standing ovation for our new quiz show host: ERIN ...! "
Applause is heard but not too fast. The students seemed to be still upset with Erin. Meanwhile, Erin comes to the front of the room with a strange feeling. Upon arrival at the teacher's desk, Erin immediately received small pieces of cardboard containing questions and answers from Mr. Rachmat.
Why me, Master? "Erin asked tentatively.
"Because Master sure you can!" Mr. Rachmat replied. After that, Mr. Rachmat looked at his students. "Listen to his question carefully. If you know the answer, raise your hand and answer it right away. Understand?"
"Understand, Teacher ..." the students replied in unison.
"The first question! Erin? "Mr. Rachmat invited Erin.
Erin began to read. "When do we commemorate the Youth Pledge Day?"
Nadya immediately raised her hand and shouted, "October 28!"
"Right!" Cried Mr. Rachmat. Nadya immediately shouted excitedly.
"Which country won the world cup of football in 2010?" Erin continues the question.
Aji immediately stood up and shouted, "SPANISH!"
"A hundred for Aji!" Cried Mr. Rachmat.
"HOREEE ...!" Aji danced with joy. The other disciples laughed at his behavior. There is also a clap.
Erin read again. "Animals that live in two realms are called ...?"
"Amphibians!" The two children sitting behind answered the same time.
Mr. Rachmat applauded. "Your answers are correct! Great!"
The atmosphere began to warm up. Erin read the next question. "What is the name of the capital of Bangladesh?"
Class suddenly quiet. No one seems to know the answer to that question. Nadya and Aji looked at each other. Meanwhile in front of the class, Erin stirs. He wanted to answer that question.
"What, yes, the capital of Bangladesh? Come on, who knows? "Pak Rachmat tried to provoke his students' answers.
Suddenly Fiko's hand went up. "The capital of Bangladesh ...?" He looked doubtful. "... Dhaka?"
Mr. Rachmat spontaneously shouted, "HUNDRED FOR FIKO! YOUR REAL RIGHT! "
The class was instantaneous. On his bench, Fiko jumped up and screamed with joy. Her spirits suddenly appeared.
The next quiz goes lively. Erin read about enthusiastically. The students were competing to answer questions. Some of them even managed to answer correctly more than five questions, including Nadya. The boy looked very pleased.
Soon the quiz ended. All the children clapped. Mr. Rachmat joined in the excitement.
"Children, today Master is very happy because you can answer all quiz questions well. You guys are great students. But that's not all that Master is proud of. Today you play the quiz without mocking or laughing at your friends who misunderstood. It is a commendable attitude. Extraordinary! Keep up! "
All the students applauded and were delighted to be praised by Mr. Rachmat.
"Erin, what do you think of your friends? Are not they smart because they managed to answer the quiz question? "
Erin nodded with a forced smile. Actually he wants to come play. He is very confident of answering the whole matter without leaving any of the other students.
"Kids, what do you think about Erin? Is not he an intelligent and powerful quiz shower? "
"Yes ...!" All the students agreed with Mr. Rachmat. Then a loud applause reverberated in the room.
"Live Erin!" Nadya exclaimed.
"Erin is great!" Aji praised.
"Jempoool ...!" Fiko showed his right thumb to Erin.
Erin gasped. He did not expect to get such a welcome. Suddenly there was a strange feeling burst into his heart. Yes, Erin suddenly felt embarrassed. During this time he often underestimated the ability of his friends. He felt himself the smartest of them. Apparently today Erin's friends are able to show their best ability. Erin felt uneasy. Moreover, they flatter him as a good quiz host.
"All right, boys!" Mr. Rachmat finished his joy. "Our lesson time is running out. You know what to do now? '
"JURNAALAL ...!" Shouted the compact 3rd graders.
Mr. Rachmat chuckled. "Hehehe ... Clever! Happy writing! "
Classes calmed down. Students write their journals. From behind his desk, Mr. Rachmat looked at them. He was happy to see his students,
