Kemarin waktu lewat depan rumah Bintang, anak tetangga yang umurnya cuma beda 4 bulan lebih dulu dari Bebito, saya basa basi negor bundanya yg keliatan sibuk mau pergi,"Bintang mau kemana?"
"Mau sekolah tantee", jawab emaknya
"Sekolah dimana Bintang?"
"Di Sunter.." sambung emaknya lugas.
Whew, anak baru setahun udah sekolah. Jalan aja masih egol2. Kasian banget. Kata mbok embannya, sekolah Bintang belajarnya aja udah ribet banget. Salah satunya nyusun stik es krim, trus ditempel2in gambar. Haiyaaah, belom bisa kaleee, yg ada itu stik diacak2 trus kalo bosen dilempar, hahaha..
Semenjak saya baca artikel tentang pendidikan anak jaman sekarang yang kelewat batas, yang intinya: buah yang lebih cepat matang akan lebih cepat busuk. Saya langsung nyadar. Haiyaah, anak saya gak boleh diperlakukan begitu. Anak balita cuma butuh main. Bukannya belajar baca, tulis dan itung2an serius lainnya.
Makanya saya merasa beruntung Bebito lahir bulan Agustus. Secara sistem pendaftaran sekolah dasar negeri di Indonesia, anak yang umurnya belum 7 tahun setelah tanggal 1 juli tidak bisa mendaftar, CMIIW. Jadi Bebito punya banyak waktu lebih lama untuk bermain. Asumsi saya, Bebito umur 5 tahun lebih TK A, 6 tahun lebih TK B, baru deh 7 tahun lebih SD. No Playgroup. No Pre-School. But ngaji Madrasah dan TPA Yes, hehehe..
Gara-gara liat anak2 sekolah jaman sekarang yang kliatannya kecapekan dengan banyak beban dari kurikulum sekolah yang berat. Saya ikutan capek juga liatnya. Saya jadi berencana untuk menyekolahkan Bebito di sekolah negeri saja. Itu aja SD Negeri udah berat banget materi pelajarannya. Gimana kalo sekolah swasta yang jam belajarnya lebih panjang? Sekolah bilingual apalagi. Yang ada nanti anak ngomong malah ketukar2 Inggris - Indonesia. Anak teman ada yang kekeuh bilang kalo kuning itu bahasa Inggris dan yellow itu bahasa Indonesia. Haiyaaaah.. *tepokjidad*
Mamanya Aisyah yang guru TK bilang. Pengalaman yang dia lihat, kalo anak dari kecil udah kebanyakan sekolah nanti pas kelas 3 atau 4 SD akan merasa bosan. Anak jadi malas2an belajar. Bandel. Tidak pedulian. Yang diakibatkan dari rasa kehilangan masa2 bermainnya pada saat balita. Duh, saya gak mau Bebito begitu. Saya mau Bebito puas menghabiskan masa kanak2nya dengan bermain. Sampai pada umur dia seharusnya belajar. Uh, uh jadi kangen bocah bulatkuu...
