Ini Bukan Pabrik! Ini Sekolah. Bayangkan bekerja 40 jam setiap minggu, tanpa upah, tanpa uang lembur, dan tanpa hak cuti. Bagi orang dewasa, itu terdengar melelahkan—dan bisa langsung viral di media sosial sebagai pelanggaran hak tenaga kerja. Tapi inilah kenyataan yang dialami jutaan anak usia sekolah di Indonesia. Mereka datang pagi, pulang sore. Istirahat? Hanya … Continue reading Lupa

Ketika kampus Meminta Foto Rumah Kita.
Setelah pengumuman kelulusan PTN beberapa waktu lalu, saya mendapat cerita dari beberapa orang tua yang anaknya kebetulan lulus di PTN. Mereka bercerita bahwa mereka bangga dengan kelulusan anak, tetapi mereka juga resah menanti berapa besaran biaya kuliah si anak nanti. Karena setiap anak akan dibebani biaya kuliah berbeda yang katanya "sesuai kemampuan ekonomi" orangtua calon … Continue reading Ketika kampus Meminta Foto Rumah Kita.
The missing lessons
I spent over a decade in school learning how to calculate the slope of a line…But no one ever taught me how to do my taxes. I memorized the periodic table…( with fear along with minuscule understanding about why it matters to know this table).And I had no clue how interest rates worked.Or that debt … Continue reading The missing lessons
Janji Manis Pendidikan Gratis

I found out that it's still so hard for me to take bad commentaries lightly, even when I know for sure that the person who made the comments truly cares about me and has no bad intentions whatsoever.

Value
Do you know about the endowment effect? I just heard this term from a blogger/ YouTuber (?) named Gabe. So the endowment effect is happening when we put higher value to the things that we already own than to the things that we don't own. I like this idea, because I usually have the reverse … Continue reading Value
Playtime
Do you play in your daily life? What says “playtime” to you? Hmm... Does Duolingo count as a playtime? I have been playing it for 772 consecutive days. Perhaps the next question is : does it work? Can we really learn a foreign language through playing with Duolingo? It's a complicated question, but I'll say … Continue reading Playtime
