Ratna : I’m tired of studying until the afternoon. My body went limp.
Ranto : Me too. However, as students we must follow a predetermined schedule.
Yani : I agree with you Ranto. It is our duty to study hard at school. That way we can be ready to live in the community with all the skills and knowledge we get from school.
Ratna : Regarding the final goal, I agree with you, Yani. But what I mean here is the class schedule is too much so we always go home in the afternoon. Meanwhile we came to school early in the morning. I feel unable. My body is tired.
Yani : Yes, what can I do? I believe the school has considered everything before determining the schedule, Ratna.
Ranto : I understand what you mean Ratna. I also agree with you Yani. But what Ratna meant was actually very clear. She wants a solution where we don’t have to come to school at 06.30 and finish the last lesson at 3.30 every day. I myself was exhausted so I couldn’t do much at home.
Ratna : Yes, that’s what I meant from the start. I would like at least a reduction in class hours for subjects that are not so important to me. Or, at least the school provides a choice of subjects that can be taken and are not in accordance with the interests and talents of students. That’s way students can also focus and optimize their learning without having to spend a lot of time at school.
Yani : hold on a second. Back to what I was saying before, as students, our job is to study well. Well, because we have decided to study at school, we must comply with all school rules including class hours which make us obliged to come in the morning and leave in the afternoon. I think that’s the main problem.
Ratna : pardon, me. I’m not sure I understand what your point here is. But, in my opinion it will be better and useful for students like me who don’t like to sit in class all day to choose a subject that I like more and I believe I can be successful in that lesson. At least to achieve my dream as an accountant, I don’t have to bother taking physics, chemistry, and biology subjects.
