Niki For Nata
Section 21. Advice from Teacher Andrew
Happy Reading's!
That morning, during an art lesson, precisely at the third hour, Niki was asked by Mr. Andrew to face his room. Coincidentally, their subject matter today is not beams and not numbers and the price of notes.
What a boring lesson for Niki. His head will be like a swirling when reading a note like a bean sprout Not to mention the cute line that Often the line is slanted when the art teacher asks him to write a note beam
Better he was told to memorize formulas, work on problems with various formulas and memorize the name of chemicals and do chemical problems than learn to sing, read notes and write notes.
Her voice when singing is not the markets or good as the voice of the winning Indonesian idol girl of two thousand twenty-two. For this one he retreated. It is better to sit in the back, chat in a group with his gokil friends.
"Niki, I told you to come to my room during the break." Mr. Andrew began to wonder with the attitude of this one student.
"When are you punished? Yesterday our socks were dappled. Not to mention you are often late. And now, you come to my room as early as possible. Not enough of your mischievous behavior?"
"Hehe."
Niki was even grinning when her famous killer class teacher nagged her. He was different from other students, who were afraid of Mr. Andrew. Niki isn't. He was happy with such a teacher. Firm but educational. Although he was often punished.
"Yes already. Hurry along!. What the fuck are you talking about? Is there anything to discuss?"
"Lho's? Don't you want to talk about something so call me here?" Niki turned around Mr. Andrew's words.
"I'm not just calling you. I also called your other friends."
"Oh that. Hehe. So how, sir?" It's really nice for Niki to talk to Mr. Andrew. There is not the slightest fear. Although he did speak with perfected rules with people older than him.
Intentions want to avoid art lessons even fail like it. Because indeed Mr. Andrew wants to talk to the Olympic team that has been formed at that time. The deadline has been fixed.
"Now that you go back to class, follow the ongoing subjects!" edict Mr. Andrew firmly without objection. Niki even wanted to talk back, but from the hand gesture given by Andrew, it was enough to silence Niki's mouth who almost just let out words.
"Niki, you know what's out, right?" Sounds more serious than before. That means, Mr. Andrew is not messing with his orders.
"Father admit you're smart. But the intelligence you have will not be useful if you do not have a good attitude. Not following the class is the same as not obeying the school rules. Do you remember your purpose for coming to this school?"
Niki bowed. Didn't answer any questions from Andrew. During this time Mr. Andrew as his homeroom teacher, tried to be silent about Niki's behavior. More leave everything to the counseling guidance teacher.
One thing that makes the teachers keep him, because he is smart, smart. But what is it all for if his attitude does not exist. That's right, physics teacher Andrew said. Over time, people will not like it later if he maintains such an attitude.
"I as your homeroom teacher, could have made you not to graduate school later if you stick with your attitude like this. Because of your value, it's at the end of my pen."
The last sentence of this physics teacher sir, was quite surprising to Niki. He never expected that Mr. Andrew would say that. Enough to disturb his heart and mind. Even ringing in his mind, the words of Mr. Andrew echoed in his ears.
Right, as a homeroom teacher has the right to give value to his students. It certainly fits the actual state of the child. But not giving value because he likes the student. But because of the achievements he achieved and also the attitude of the child himself that made him pass through the resistance stage until he graduated from the school.
Not because of nepotism, because the student is the son of officials who like to give tips, not because the student is a rich child because the donor remains at the school, he said, not only because he made achievements without a good attitude.
But because it follows the rules in the school well, good attitude and give a brilliant achievement to make the school famous.
"Mr ask right now, you go into the class to join your other friends to take art lessons" said Mr. Andrew firmly.
Niki was silent. The opportunity to talk is no longer there. Because Mr. Andrew wants to advise his student. He wanted to wake up this one student. Too often reprimanded will make the child saturated. He will no longer obey because he is used to being reprimanded and punished.
It might have been a toy for him when he went in and out of the BP room. But with a long advice from Mr. Andrew earlier, making Niki pensive. Reflect on himself. The first time Mr. Andrew spoke at length to him personally.
"Like it or don't like your subjects, keep following them. You're still a student who needs guidance, needs education. It's not the parents who can choose which ones you should follow and which ones you don't. Later, when you grow up it is useful for you. Don't underestimate science even a little."
Niki could only remain silent. He does not want to answer again. He did not want to argue with his homeroom teacher anymore. Because all the advice given by Mr. Andrew is right.
One of the criteria for a successful teacher is not because he can make his son a champion, an achievement everywhere. But because he succeeded in making the student as a polite student, who was friendly to everyone and certainly had a polite and respectful attitude to parents. Creating students who have good morals in the community.
"Then, Niki went back to class, sir. Thanks, sir. And.excuse me."
While looking down, after saluting Niki left the teacher room.
"I'm sorry, but this is best for you, son. You are smart, smart, but ethics are lacking. Akhlak. I want you to be a role model later to your friends and your classmates later," Mr. Andrew's mind. He stared at Niki's departure which was certainly different when he came earlier.
To be continue....
