DPR menyetujui UN dilanjutkan

Jakarta–Ketua Panitia Kerja Ujian Nasional (UN) pada Komisi X DPR Rully Chairul Azwar mengatakan mayoritas fraksi menyetujui UN dilanjutkan dengan beberapa catatan.

Seusai rapat panitia kerja UN di gedung DPR/MPR Jakarta, Rabu (27/1), Rully mengatakan fraksi yang setuju UN dilanjutkan dengan catatan terdiri atas Fraksi Partai Demokrat, Partai Golongan Karya, Partai Amanat Nasional, Partai Persatuan Pembangunan, Partai Gerindra dan Partai Kebangkitan Bangsa.

Fraksi Partai Demokrasi Indonesia Perjuangan (PDIP) dan Partai Keadilan Sejahtera (PKS) tidak setuju pemerintah menggunakan UN sebagai satu-satunya syarat kelulusan sementara Fraksi Partai Hanura tidak menyampaikan pendapat karena tidak hadir.

“Usulan PKS dan PDIP, UN tidak menjadi syarat kelulusan. Tidak mungkin. Karena nanti tidak ada upaya dari sekolah untuk meningkatkan mutu. Jadi tidak ada upaya sama sekali,” kata Rully.

Anggota Panitia Kerja UN Komisi X DPR dari Fraksi PDIP Tb Dedi Suwandi Gumelar mengatakan pihaknya tidak setuju UN dilanjutkan sebelum pemerintah untuk meningkatkan sarana prasarana sekolah, mutu guru dan akses informasi bagi seluruh daerah.

“Karena pengadilan memerintahkan kepada pemerintah menyelesaikan perbaikan itu sebelum menggelar UN,” katanya.

Ia mengatakan pemerintah harus mengakui bahwa selama ini penyelenggaraan UN belum dipersiapkan dengan baik dan menimbulkan beberapa ekses negatif seperti kecurangan oleh sekolah maupun siswa.

“Kecurangan dan kebocoran soal sering terjadi karena semua mau terlihat baik. Kepala daerah ingin kelulusan di daerahnya baik kemudian memaksa kepala sekolah mewujudkan itu sehingga akhirnya mereka melakukan apa saja supaya siswa-siswanya lulus UN,” katanya.

Selain itu, kata dia, hasil UN juga tidak mencerminkan peta mutu pendidikan nasional yang sebenarnya.

Rully menjelaskan, fraksi-fraksi yang setuju UN dilanjutkan menghendaki pemerintah melakukan beberapa hal dalam penyelenggaraan UN termasuk diantaranya memperkuat pengawasan agar tidak terjadi kebocoran soal dan kecurangan.

Last month, Jenny went to the circus with Edison and Shawn.
First, they saw the seals perform. The seals balanced themselves on tires and rolled round the ring. A seal on a stool balanced an umbrella on its nose. After that, the trainer fed them with fish.
The next show was the knife-throwing act. Jenny was afraid to watch it, so she covered her eyes with her hands. Not long after, it was the lion’s act. It was the most exciting performance. The lions jumped through the burning hoops. Everyone held their breath when the lion trainer put his head into the lion’s mouth.
Finally, it was the clown’s act. Jenny and her brothers liked the clown’s act best. They looked funny with their painted faces and baggy costumes. One of them swung a pail at Jenny. She screamed! Scraps of paper flew out the pail and the audiences laughed.
At the end of the show, everyone clapped loudly.

ORANGUTAN
Orangutans or Pongo pygmaeus belong to the Primate order. The orangutan spends
most of its time in trees. Each evening it builds a new treetop nest. They are endangered because of habitat lost and poachers keep on killing, owning, and exporting orangutans.They only live on the island of Borneo and in the northern corner of the island of Sumatra.
Orangutans are characterized by rough, long, reddish-brown fur. Male orangutans
are about 95 cm (37 in) in length and about 77 kg (170 lb) in weight. Females are smaller,reaching about 78 cm (31 in) in height and weighing only about 37 kg (81 lb). The male has puffy cheeks and a hanging throat-pouch. This pouch contains air sacks that help produce a groaning, bubbling call, which can be heard at least 1 km (0.6 mi) away.Half of the orangutan’s diet consists of fruit, but they also eat young leaves, soft
inner bark, termites, eggs, and occasionally monkeys.
When a female is ready to mate, she will seek out an adult male. Orangutan are
mammals; females give birth to a single infant about once every four to eight years. The gestational period for orangutans is just under nine months, nearly the same as in human beings. Infants stay very close to their mothers for the first three years until they don’t consume their mother’s milk.

I have a new member in my family. It is a cat. I call it Keket.

Keket has soft white fur and likes to click its paws. It is also very curious and likes to explore its new surroundings. It seems to like milk and fish a lot and waits eagerly as I prepare its meal.

Besides, the cat that my father took from the road is very important for me. It gives me some lessons about “cat talk”. When it is near me it always purrs. This expresses its friendship with me. When I do my homework it often bumps its head with mine. I know this is the way to say hello. When it is curious it sticks its whiskers stright out and twitches with excitement. Sometimes it approaches something carefully with ears pricked forward. This shows it alert. When it stalks a bird under the banyan tree beside my house it waves its tail. This shows that it is trying to make up its mind whether to creep or pounce. As soon as it has made up its mind the waving usually stops.

Of course, I sometimes get angry with Keket. When it feels threatened it hisses and spits. It thrashes its tail and shows its fangs. Its ears lie flat and its eyes dilate.

Keket seems to like me a lot. I know this because it always follows me wherever I go. I thank God for giving me such nice cat.

I rushed into the bathroom. I did not see a place of soap lying on the floor. I stopped on it and slipped, almost breaking my back in the process.

Then, I went into the dining room for my breakfast. I gulped down the tea without realizing that it was very hot. It burnt my tongue. I spat it out and could not eat anything, because my tongue hurt. I got dressed and rushed to the bus stop.

Unfortunately, I just missed the bus. My heart sank and I knew that I would be late for school.

When I reached school, the teacher took down my name. The teacher scolded me for being late. To my humiliation, I was made to stand out side the class. I was so upset by the incident that I could not study properly, but worse to come.

Dear Grandpa and Grandma,
Yesterday at my school we had International Day. We had performances, food stalls, displays, raffle ticket draw and some of us were dressed in costumers.
We started our day off with performances but the one I liked best was the one from fourth grade. It was about games. The performances I was in was called labamba.
Straight after our performances we had our lunch. There were food stalls. They came from Australia, Asian, Arabic and Greece.
Everyone had a job. These people were from sixth grade. I did my job after I had lunch. My job was to sell International day books.
We had displays in the hall, these displays were good but I didn’t get to see them. The displays came from a lot of countries.
There was also a trash and treasure stall were they sell toys. The school got these things by asking the children to bring them in.
After lunch we had a raffle ticket draw. I didn’t win anything but a lot of people did.
Although I didn’t win anything, International Day was still fun.
