Education is surely a fundamental slice of life. Without it, we couldn’t do anything productive. Imagine if we can’t calculate things, how could we count the amount of our bills? Or maybe in the bigger area, calculate the balance of a company. Make sure that we are in the profit zone, not the vice versa. That’s a simple parable of how important education is.
But wait.. What is Education?
According to the Oxford Dictionary, education (ɛdjʊˈkeɪʃ(ə)n) is the process of receiving or giving systematic instruction especially at a school or university. So, in my opinion, we have to go to school and make sure that we learn a lot of things there. Not only blabbering around or chitty chatting with bunch of our cliques. Well, as a teenager, I can’t deny that sometimes I met my rebellious point. At that point, all that I want are everything except studying a.k.a to free myself. But then, I gave a lot of deep thought. What will my future be if I keep being like this? Therefore, I should get myself together and study well.
But then, I’m often to get bored in school.
Why?
Because we have to learn some subjects that are not related with our dream.
Like, I surmise we all know that the complains are everywhere. I’ve read one of my friend’s article about this and I believe that we all already know what I meant with my words above. In another country, the education are way more specialized. Especially from the highschool level. But in our country, although we already chose Mathematics and Natural Science (as example) there are still some subjects that are not related with our intention, which means the range is too wide. Well, I think it’s not a bad thing having a wide range. But. Because of that, the lessons that we’re learning are not deep until the ‘inside’. Due to the limited time that had ben set, we couldn’t keep up with the materials. And also, sometimes we are using the weird standard. Like, for me, it doesn't mean if I took the Mathematics and Natural Science, and I would be in the higher level than the one who took the Language program. It's a big.. No. Take a look of this picture.

Beside that, I think sometimes we are learning ‘in the box’. Meanwhile, it is better if we think out of the box, which means we can explore our creativity related to the subject. And also, sometimes, with a certain teacher, we’re often to be taught like this picture.
Get it, right?
Imagination and creativity shouldn't be shaped like that. It will destroy themselves. It would be better if all of us could corporate together and start to respect each other and start to accept that there are a lot of path to the Rome, like what the idiom said. Also, I think it would be better if the component of education keep an up to date knowledge of the materials. Why? Because sometimes, there are a lot of misunderstanding between A and B due to the different ‘ideology’. And it will slow down the learning process and also of course, giving A and B another purple memory inside of themselves.
Well, to make it short.
I think Indonesia is a good country. But, sometimes it’s poorly managed. So does the education. There are some old-fashioned methods that are not competent again in this era. To be brutally honest, I think Indonesian are not the type of those who could accept a brand new change that might be better for us (you know there are a lot of evidence of that) So, it’s gonna be better if we try to accept some changes.
And of course,
Respect.

Mind House is a building located at the entrance to Parc Güell, designed by Antoni Gaudi works in Barcelona. This work also appears in the list of UNESCO World Heritage Site. The overall design of the settlement provided housing, studios, a chapel and a park, for a total of 60 houses, but it was only purchased one of the lots and were only completed two homes. In one of the two houses already built for many years lived in the same Gaudí, with his father and the daughter of his sister, until his final move to the site of the Sagrada Familia. The city of Barcelona bought it in 1922, transforming it into a public park.
Gaudí sought to preserve the natural contour of the ground in relief, giving free rein to his imagination, creating an original work by the sinuous profile. For its construction made use of colorful pottery and pieces of glass used as pieces of colored mosaics, along with his sculptures in concrete, representing a universe of fantastic animals, clearly referring to the concept of the picturesque.
True to his style, Gaudi created a work that is integrated in nature and reproduces it: among the examples covered walkway with columns that have the shapes of the trunks of trees or stalactites, fountains and artificial stone arches.
