Ron Clark's Phenomenal Book Brings Out the Best in Your Students 
 By Beth Lewis, About.com 
 
A few years ago, I watched Disney's Teacher of the Year Ron Clark on the Oprah Winfrey Show. He told the inspirational story of how he had developed and implemented a set of 55 essential rules for success in his classroom. He and Oprah discussed the essential 55 things that adults (both parents and teachers) need to teach children and hold them accountable for. He compiled these rules into a book called The Essential 55. Eventually he wrote a second book called The Essential 11. 
 Some of the Essential 55 rules surprised me with their mundane nature. For example, "If you don't say thank you within 30 seconds, I'm taking it back." Or, "If someone asks you a question, you need to answer it and then ask a question yourself." That last one has always been one of my pet peeves with children. Here are some of the ideas that Ron Clark says are essential for kids to learn: * Make eye contact * Respect other; ideas and opinions * Do not save seats * Say thank you within three seconds of receiving something * When you win, do not brag; when you lose, do not show anger * Do your homework each and every night without fail * Do not talk in a movie theater * Be the best person you can be * Always be honest * If you are asked a question in conversation, ask a question in return * Perform random acts of kindness * Learn the names of all the teachers in the school and greet them * If someone bumps into you, even if it was not your fault , say excuse me * Stand up for what you believe in To tell you the truth, I had felt fed up with students' general lack of manners for quite awhile. For some reason, it hadn't occurred to me to teach good manner explicitly. I figured this was something that parents would teach their children at home. Also, there's such a big push towards standards and test scores in my district that I didn't see how I could get away with teaching manners and common courtesies. But, after hearing Ron's passion and his students' gratitude for what he had taught them, I knew I had to give the concept a try. With Mr. Clark's book in hand and a determination to see solid improvement in how my students would treat me and their classmates in the coming school year, I set out to implement the program in my own way. First of all, feel free to adapt the 55 rules to your own needs, preferences, and personality. I've adapted it to be "Mrs. Lewis' Essential 50." I got rid of some of the rules that didn't apply to my circumstances and added a few to reflect what I would really like to see in my classroom. After school started, I introduced the concept of my Essential 50 to my students. With each rule, we would take a few moments to discuss why it's important and how it will look when we act a certain way. Role-playing and a frank, interactive discussion seemed to work best for me and my students. Right away, I saw a difference in my students' behavior that has lasted for months. I taught them how to applaud for things that they like, so now they applaud whenever anyone enters the classroom. It makes the visitor feel so welcome and it always makes me smile because it's so cute! Also, they have really taken to answering me formally, saying "Yes, Mrs. Lewis" or "No, Mrs. Lewis." Sometimes it's hard to fit a non-academic subject like the Essential 55 into your busy day. I struggle with it, too. But it's definitely worth it when you see such a visible and lasting improvement in your students' behavior and manners. If you haven't checked out Ron Clark's The Essential 55 for yourself, pick up a copy as soon as you can. Even if it's mid-year, it's never too late to teach your students valuable lessons that they will likely remember for years to come. <a href="http://www.scribd.com/doc/7634187/The-Essential-55" style="-x-system-font: none; display: block; font-family: Helvetica,Arial,Sans-serif; font-size-adjust: none; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: normal; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 12px auto 6px auto; text-decoration: underline;" title="View The Essential 55 on Scribd">The Essential 55</a> <object align="middle" classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=9,0,0,0" height="500" id="doc_12212239774582" name="doc_12212239774582" width="100%"> <param name="movie" value="http://d1.scribdassets.com/ScribdViewer.swf?document_id=7634187&access_key=key-uzyt0pv4vtffzbfjoyt&page=1&version=1&viewMode=slideshow"> <param name="quality" value="high"> <param name="play" value="true"> <param name="loop" value="true"> <param name="scale" value="showall"> <param name="wmode" value="opaque"> <param name="devicefont" value="false"> <param name="bgcolor" value="#ffffff"> <param name="menu" value="true"> <param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"> <param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always"> <param name="salign" value=""> <param name="mode" value="slideshow"> <embed src="http://d1.scribdassets.com/ScribdViewer.swf?document_id=7634187&access_key=key-uzyt0pv4vtffzbfjoyt&page=1&version=1&viewMode=slideshow" quality="high" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" play="true" loop="true" scale="showall" wmode="opaque" devicefont="false" bgcolor="#ffffff" name="doc_12212239774582_object" menu="true" allowfullscreen="true" allowscriptaccess="always" salign="" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" align="middle" mode="slideshow" height="500" width="100%"></embed> </object> <a href="http://www.scribd.com/doc/7633919/The-Essential-55-Ron-Clark" style="-x-system-font: none; display: block; font-family: Helvetica,Arial,Sans-serif; font-size-adjust: none; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: normal; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 12px auto 6px auto; text-decoration: underline;" title="View The Essential 55 - Ron Clark on Scribd">The Essential 55 - Ron Clark</a> <object align="middle" classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=9,0,0,0" height="500" id="doc_289399593234153" name="doc_289399593234153" width="100%"> <param name="movie" value="http://d1.scribdassets.com/ScribdViewer.swf?document_id=7633919&access_key=key-l52b18x00l2w0gv4530&page=1&version=1&viewMode=list"> <param name="quality" value="high"> <param name="play" value="true"> <param name="loop" value="true"> <param name="scale" value="showall"> <param name="wmode" value="opaque"> <param name="devicefont" value="false"> <param name="bgcolor" value="#ffffff"> <param name="menu" value="true"> <param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"> <param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always"> <param name="salign" value=""> <param name="mode" value="list"> <embed src="http://d1.scribdassets.com/ScribdViewer.swf?document_id=7633919&access_key=key-l52b18x00l2w0gv4530&page=1&version=1&viewMode=list" quality="high" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" play="true" loop="true" scale="showall" wmode="opaque" devicefont="false" bgcolor="#ffffff" name="doc_289399593234153_object" menu="true" allowfullscreen="true" allowscriptaccess="always" salign="" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" align="middle" mode="list" height="500" width="100%"></embed> </object>

Most of us are held in awe once we meet children who can be as smart as a person who is a lot older than them. We often call these children as gifted, because they are endowed with the knowledge that can be acquired by someone who is way past their years. Little does everyone know, there are ways in which parents can develop the mental or intellectual capacities of their children. (picture from: <cite style="font-style: normal;">scienceblogs.com)</cite>We all know that we have the capacity to store information and process them in order for us to use this knowledge for a greater purpose. Charles Darwin stipulated in his theory of natural selections that animals, most especially human beings, constantly think of ways on how to outwit and outrun their predators so that they can survive. This theory, which is also known as ‘Survival of the Fittest,’ has existed for quite sometime, and it only proves to show that humans can be intelligent as they wish to be. We are all equipped with faculties which will enable us to think freely on our own, whether it comes to decision making or intellectual pursuits. Charles Darwin’s hypothesis is a clear explanation of the heights that the human brain can reach. All parents need to do is to figure out how to harness one’s intellectual development so as the child will perform in his full potential. Starting from the conception of the child, the mother must be fully aware of her diet. Whatever the mother eats becomes quite reflective of the future potentials of the child. It helps if the mother would take in vitamins and minerals to support the child’s intellectual development. <a href="https://tbn3.google.com/images?q=tbn:M4dfhzOxAPpeSM:http://scienceblogs.com/seed/upload/2007/02/smart_kid.jpg" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" border="0" src="http://tbn3.google.com/images?q=tbn:M4dfhzOxAPpeSM:http://scienceblogs.com/seed/upload/2007/02/smart_kid.jpg" style="height: 147px; margin-top: 0pt; width: 121px;" /></a>The next thing to pay attention to is giving enough focus on child education. Some people may think that education during the early years is not that important, because a child’s parents instead can teach the children some basic fundamental skills that they need to develop. There’s nothing wrong with this as long, but however, it is advised that they should bring their child to a school specializing in early education so that he will have a good intellectual and social development. The teachers who specialize in early childhood education know what to include in their curriculum so that the intellectual development of the child well be boost up to its maximum capacity. School also gives a chance for your children to mingle with others, so that he would not be left out whenever there are some activities. Another point is to have a home learning environment. You can help out in this by buying educational toys which your child may play with. There is a variety of toys which are concentrated on different subjects. Not only will the child learn, but they would also have fun while doing the activities. These are just some of the ways on how to improve the intellectual development of a child. Bear in mind that there are still a lot of ways, but following these crucial steps is certainly worth the try.

Education in Indonesia is the responsibility of the Ministry of National Education of Indonesia (Departemen Pendidikan Nasional Republik Indonesia/Depdiknas). Education in Indonesia was previously the responsibility of the Ministry of Education and Culture of Indonesia (Departemen Pendidikan dan Kebudayaan Republik Indonesia/Depdikbud). In Indonesia, every citizen has to have nine years of education, six years at elementary level and three in middle school. <a href="http://bundatio.blogspot.com/2009/07/education-in-indonesia.html">Law No. 20/2003</a> <a href="http://bundatio.blogspot.com/2009/07/education-in-indonesia.html"></a> Based on the correct constitution , education is defined as a planned effort to establish a study environment and education process so that the student may actively develop his/her own potential to gain the religious and spiritual level, consciousness, personality, intelligence, behaviour and creativity to him/herself, other citizens and for the nation. The constitution also noted that education in Indonesia is divided into two major parts, formal and non-formal. A formal education is divided again into three levels, primary, secondary and tertiary education. 
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Current structure 
 
Primary education 
 
Early childhood 
 
From birth until the age of 5, Indonesian children do not generally have access to formal education. From the age of 5 to 6 or 7, they attend kindergarten (Taman Kanak-kanak). This education is not compulsory for Indonesian citizens, as the aim of this is to prepare them for primary school. The majority of kindergartens are private schools, with more than forty-nine thousand kindergartens, 99.35% of the total kindergartens in Indonesia, privately operated[1]. The kindergarten years are usually divided into "Class A" and "Class B" students spending a year in each class. 
 
Elementary School 
 
Children ages 7–12 attend Sekolah Dasar (SD) (literally Elementary School). This level of education is compulsory for all Indonesian citizens, based on the national constitution. In contrast to the majority of privately run kindergartens, most elementary schools are government operated public schools, accounting for 93% of all elementary schools in Indonesia[2]. Similar to education systems in the U.S. and Australia, students must study for six years to complete this level. Some schools offer an accelerated learning program, where students who perform well can finish elementary school in five years. 
 
Secondary Education 
 
Middle School 
 
Middle School, generally known by the abbreviation "SMP" (Sekolah Menengah Pertama) is part of primary education in Indonesia. After graduating from elementary school, students attend Middle School for three years from the age of 13-15. After three years of schooling and graduation, students may move on to High School or College, or cease formal education. There are around 22,000 schools in Indonesia with a balanced ownership between public and private sector[3]. 
 
High School 
 
In Indonesia, generally known as by the abberviation "SMA" (Sekolah Menegah Atas), "SMU" (Sekolah Menengah Umum), and SMK (Sekolah Menengah Kejuruan) . SMA/SMU differ than SMK in their studies. The students at SMU are prepared to advance to tertiary education while students of SMK are prepared to be ready to work after finishing their school without going to university/college. Based on the national constitution, Indonesian citizens do not have to attend high school as the citizens only require nine years of education. This is also reflected by the number of high schools in Indonesia, with just slightly below 9,000 schools[4]. 
 
Tertiary education 
 
After graduation from High school or college, students may attend a university. 
 
 
History 
 
The Dutch introduced a system of formal education for the local population of Indonesia, although this was restricted to certain privileged children. The system they introduced was roughly similar to the current structure, with the following levels:</div>
 * ELS (Dutch: Europeesche Lagere School) - Primary School * MULO (Dutch: Meer Uitgebreid Lager Onderwijs) - Middle School * AMS (Dutch: Algeme(e)ne Middelbare School) - High School or College By the 1930s, the Dutch had introduced limited formal education to nearly every province of the Dutch East Indies.
