Major flooding occurred in Semarang. Do students deserve a holiday?

Thesis

A flood is an excessive volume of water that hits a large area of land. Floods usually occur due to heavy rain over a long period of time. Schools should be cancelled during floods because flood conditions interfere with the safety and well-being of students and teaching staff. This condition must have undergone prior consideration. 

**Artumentative Paragraph 1:**

Floods often cause roads to become waterlogged, making it difficult for students and school staff to travel safely. Stagnant water can be a hazard for those who have to walk or use public transport to reach school. In addition, swift water currents can also threaten the safety of students trying to cross the road. 

**Argumentative Paragraph 2:**

If the main purpose of the school holiday was to reduce the risk of flooding on the way to school, it would not have had any effect on students who had already left earlier. The announcement of the school holiday was very sudden. Students have already struggled through the floods to get to school. This distress multiplied when they arrived at school, the school was cancelled. Students were very disappointed and wary of having to pass through the streets again. This can happen because of the lack of communication between teachers and the office. The office is not quick enough in terms of this policy.

**Argumentative Paragraph 3:**

The school is not closed, but is doing online learning. Students are given assignments from school to do within a certain time limit. This policy has created pros and cons. Those who agree argue that this assignment is very effective to make up for the lack of learning time. Those who disagree argue that the assignment is very burdensome for students whose homes are directly affected by the flood. Moreover, there is an unreasonable time limit, such as it must be collected as soon as possible, if it is late to collect it, the grade will be deducted. Very selfish I guess. Students are also not explained in advance the material suddenly given a question assignment and told to answer it. Automatically makes students confused. 

**Conclusion:**

Taking into account the dangers posed by flooding to the safety, infrastructure and health of students and staff, it is a wise decision to close the school during periods of flooding. This will not only protect them from potential physical harm, but also ensure a safe and conducive learning environment once the flood conditions subside. This learning must also be prepared in such a way that learning can run comfortably, safely and conducively.

It's already 2024, you're still fanatical

The general election held on February 14, 2024 is over. Two weeks have passed. All Indonesian people have fulfilled their voting rights. The presidential and vice presidential candidates have accepted whatever the results of the vote count. However, riots began to occur in various regions. They did not accept the results of the quick election count. Many supporters were emotional because their mainstay candidate lost. The supporters feel that only their chosen candidate deserves to win the election.

The phenomenon of political fanaticism is still rife in this beloved country. Political fanaticism often creates tension and imbalance in the political process. According to sociologists, political fanaticism can lead to increased polarization or reject different views or values. These different views often lead to the division of the nation. Even an intimate brotherhood, friendship or closeness is bound to break down if one or both have fanaticism.

This conflict between political supporters is getting bigger and can lead to crime. One form of crime due to political fanaticism is the 2014 election conflict. This protest culminated in riots in several areas, including Jakarta, which took place on May 21-22, 2019. The riots involved clashes between demonstrators and security forces, with a series of anarchic acts, burning of vehicles, and looting. The existence of political fanatics can also create a hostile political environment.

In dealing with the phenomenon of political bigotry, there is a need for an educative approach that promotes tolerance, dialogue and openness. Adequate political education can help people understand the diversity of political views and appreciate differences as part of a healthy democracy. Therefore, an emphasis on critical and inclusive political literacy is key in overcoming political bigotry and building a society that is more mature and responsive to political dynamics.

follow the school rules

School is a very important place for the continuity of education around the world. School can be a second home because from morning to evening learning activities are carried out. Because half the day we are already at school, the school environment must be made as comfortable as possible. One way to make students comfortable at school is to create an organized learning environment. An organized learning environment can be obtained with discipline.

Like the saying where the earth is trodden there the sky is upheld. Therefore, wherever we are, we must be able to adapt to the environment. If we want to be accepted by the environment, then we must also follow the rules. One of the rules is to obey the order in order to create a safe and comfortable environment. School rules can be in the form of discipline, manners, security, and conflict handling procedures. These rules are documented in a manual that can be accessed by all school members.

One of the main parts of school discipline is time discipline. Students are expected to arrive at school on time, respect class hours and attend the morning ceremony. School uniforms are also an important part of this discipline, creating equality among students and focusing attention on the teaching-learning process. In addition, rules regarding classroom behavior establish norms of ethics and manners that must be followed. 

Through the implementation of discipline, schools not only create a structured environment, but also help students build strong characters. The discipline instilled through school discipline sets the foundation for later life, preparing students to face future challenges with responsibility and good ethics. Thus, discipline is not just a rule, but an important foundation for the formation of quality individuals.

School discipline is the creation of an environment conducive to learning and teaching. By abiding by these rules, each student can feel safe and focused on developing knowledge and skills. In addition, rules help create a positive school culture and support the personal growth of each student.

Don't Underestimate your mental health

Mental health is the state, thoughts, feelings and behaviors that affect the way a person acts in everyday life. Just like physical health, mental health also needs to be maintained so that we can lead a happy and productive life. Mental health plays the most important role in a person's life.

It is undeniable that a problem must have a cause. The same goes for mental disorders. This can be influenced by many things. If a family has a history of it, it may be passed on to their children. In addition, toxic environments, past trauma, discrimination, and negative media exposure can also increase the risk of mental disorders. 

The phenomenon of mental health in Indonesia is still considered a taboo. People are reluctant to talk about or seek help for their emotional problems. This is due to social stigma and lack of understanding of the issue. They worry about being considered abnormal by others. In fact, seeking help from a psychologist is necessary to avoid more serious mental problems. In addition, many people do not realize how important it is to maintain mental health. 

Therefore, it is important for all of us to be more aware that mental health is just as important as physical health. We need to be more open and empathetic to our friends who have symptoms of mental illness. We need to remove the negative stigma. The more people of mental health the easier it is to seek access to help from a psychologist

Waste in My School

Waste is unwanted, unused, or used-up material that is usually discarded. Waste can be of various types, including organic (food waste), inorganic (plastic, paper, and metal) or toxic materials (batteries, chemical waste, and toxic materials). Waste is a complex phenomenon that deserves serious attention considering the many impacts caused by waste.

        

SMKN 4 Semarang is one of the famous schools in Semarang City. With so many people coming to SMKN 4 Semarang, a lot of waste is also generated. The school has provided trash bins according to its type. However, students do not seem to understand the importance of maintaining cleanliness. There are still corners of the classroom that are covered with garbage. The accumulated garbage can interfere with teaching and learning activities. The school community also still disposes of garbage not in the trash can. 

         

The cause of garbage piling up is the use of disposable packaging items such as plastic bottles, food packaging, and paper. School policies are also very influential. The school's inability to manage waste properly, the lack of trash bins, and the school's lack of assertiveness towards certain individuals. If this is not addressed immediately, the waste at SMKN 4 Semarang will increase.

The waste problem should not be taken lightly. It needs to be addressed with policy changes, awareness raising, and infrastructure improvements being key in reducing the amount of waste in the school.
