Serious Management Problems: Violence and Aggression By: Nurlelah

Actually I am still confusing why the students make violence and also aggression each others. There is no profit that they will give when they do that action. They just give some accidents and injury because of it. However, violence and aggression still happen until now.

             Based on my experiences in teaching in SMAN 82 Jakarta, the students were known often make violence and aggression with another school. When I interviewed one of student there, he said that he did it because of pride. He said that he and his friends did it because they got support from their classmate and alumni. The headmaster and teachers already make some rules for students who do violence and aggression. They also try to communicate with parents. Teachers, students and parents work together and also make an agreement about this. One of action to avoid violence and aggression is the school doe not have uniform of batik that is characteristic of each school. The students are free to wear whatever batik every Thursday. It is done to cover the school’s label. In my opinion that is a good way to avoid violence or aggression because sometime the students who are wearing school uniform with label will be easy to identify from another school.

            Someday I will be a teacher in senior high school. If I were in that position, I would give some positive activities for students in school. It is like extra-kulikuler that is provided to explore students’ needs, interest, talent and also hobby. If the students are busy with positive activities that they like, they will spend their time in school. Hence, extra-kulikuler should be developed in the school to prevent students roam the streets after hours after school.
