SATAN'S CIRCLE OF EDUCATION VIOLENCE

Satan's Circle of Education Violence

The author is a teacher of guidance and counseling at SMK Negeri 1 Probolinggo

 

 Si A got up from his seat. His eyes glared. His hands are clenched. As if not noticing the two teachers nearby, he stood up and looked out of the individual counseling room. He snapped at a student who was sitting outside the room. The student is a 12th grade brother.

To the two teachers who accompanied him, he claimed to be annoyed at the student. Si A, who is in the 10th grade, is upset. Because he was hit from behind. He was determined to repay the blow. Even if he has to be expelled from school, he claims it doesn't matter. The important thing is to hit and take revenge for the blow he received.

Luckily after being invited to dialogue, the A is no longer angry. He chose to be patient. He admitted if his negative emotions came out. Don't think long. He promised to be more calm in facing problems. And choose to solve the problem with an open mind. Not from playing physically. Finally both of them promised to introspect each other.

That is as complicated as the daily events that the writer feels as a teacher. Violence is still a way out to solve the problem. Examples are many. One of the most tragic was the killing of Ahmad Budi Cahyono, art teacher at SMAN 1 Torjun Sampang Madura on Thursday (01/01/2018) last night. Pak Budi, his nickname, died after the afternoon of being beaten by one of his students in class. The student hit after Budi crossed his cheeks with painting paint. With the aim of reprimanding the student for disturbing his friends during painting lessons. Including not paying attention to Pak Budi's lesson. Unfortunately the student doesn't accept it. And there was a beating that ended the death of Pak Budi. (Jawapos.com, 2/2/2018).

The issue of violence seems to be a vicious circle for the world of education. There is no end. After the violence one other violence appeared. The students now also face these challenges. That is the tendency to expose negative emotions to others with negative things. Most of all by committing violence.

There are several causes that can be discussed related to the still widespread outbreak of violence by students. First, lack of emotional management skills. Especially in managing negative emotions. In a discussion between the author and the Probolinggo VOCATIONAL SCHOOL of Teenagers 1, Friday (2/2/2018), the release of negative emotions is always the main trigger for acts of violence.   

When negative emotions have mastered the brain, consideration of future impacts will not be thought of. One goal: vent negative emotions on their opponents.The death of Pak Budi (Ahmad Budi Cahyono) when educating his students (rebuking students who did not pay attention to their lessons) was the fact that educating generations of people was challenging. Even life is at stake. Because what teachers face is the generations of people who have different characters. Which can not be predicted the depth of the heart and mind. Those who must be accompanied by paying attention to the characteristics of each.

There are a number of things that we should be able to discuss together to be applied to minimize the occurrence of violence in the educational environment. Including breaking the chain of violence in education.

First, instill in students about individual differences. Including by giving an example in the form of the example of the teacher and parents. Since the beginning of students entering school, they need to be understood each person has different characteristics. It cannot be equated between students with one another. Has advantages and disadvantages of each. To overcome these shortcomings, collaboration between students is needed.

Second, stick to the hearts of the students that dialogue is a fixed price in school life. This means that when students face things that are not in accordance with him, he will prioritize dialogue. Namely conveying what he complained about. Invite other people to understand each other and discuss their disapproval. The goal is to find a constructive joint solution. With a cold head condition without negative emotions.

Third, teach students to forgive and apologize. By forgiving, the giver (student) releases all disappointment, anxiety, hatred, anger, hurt, and revenge in himself. When they are able to forgive, it means that students are able to show humility and openness to others. And this is the true honor of interpersonal relationships. Likewise, by apologizing, means that students are responsible for what has been done. Underwrite the consequences and become a new human being who is more introspective in the future.
