THBT SMA (SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL) BETTER THAN SMK (VOCATIONAL HIGH SCHOOL)

This house believed that SMA is better than SMK. By seeing its quality of education SMA has higher
level on quality far from SMK. SMK is a new system program created by goverment to make a ready-
freshmen worker. But in fact, the its quality is opposite to their mission. But you can see the system
of SMA in Indonesia. They focus on only knowledge, and its make a good quality students

But seeing on my point of view, the SMA is a doubled degree of graduation. You can easily continue
to the university level easier than SMK and you can get a job as you want. It means, if you failed
from the examination of application on university and you need a money. You can make a money to
apply in the company. So many company accepted from freshmen of SMA. So this proves to us that
SMA is better than SMK.

The higher level is the higher qualified. So when SMA student took higher level on college degree.
They would have good qualified on working. So that is why the student from SMK if work in the
company just can be a low level position like mechanic, shop keeper,etc. But when student of SMA
graduate from University they applied to company they work as manager of workshop (Leader of
mechanic), and Manager of Shop (leader of shop keeper). So this proves that SMA better than SMK.

Rumah ini percaya bahwa SMA lebih baik dari SMK. Dengan melihat kualitas pendidikannya SMA
memiliki kualitas yang lebih tinggi jauh dari SMK. SMK adalah program sistem baru yang dibuat oleh
pemerintah untuk menyiapkan tenaga kerja baru. Namun nyatanya, kualitasnya berbanding terbalik
dengan tujuan mereka. Tapi Kita bisa melihat sistem SMA di Indonesia. Mereka hanya fokus pada
pengetahuan.

melihat dari sudut pandang saya, SMA adalah kelulusan dua kali lipat. Kamu dapat dengan mudah
melanjutkan ke tingkat universitas lebih mudah dari SMK dan Kamu bisa mendapatkan pekerjaan
yang Kamu inginkan. Artinya, jika Kamu gagal dari ujian aplikasi di universitas dan kamu
membutuhkan uang. Kamu dapat menghasilkan uang untuk melamar di perusahaan. Begitu banyak
perusahaan yang menerima mahasiswa baru dari SMA. Jadi ini membuktikan kepada kita bahwa
SMA lebih baik dari SMK.
 THBT BANNING HANDPHONE (MOBILE DEVICE) AT SCHOOL

We believe that banning mobile devices at school is a good idea, A 2017 study suggested that over
90% of students use technology in class for purposes unrelated to their work. It’s therefore not
surprising that teachers often feel in competition for students’ attention. There are several reasons
we agree to the ban on the use of mobile devices in schools, including the following:

Mobile phones reduce productivity

One study from the London School of Economics showed that banning mobile phones in schools had
a positive effect on test scores. They surveyed schools in four English cities and found that student
performance in high stakes exams significantly increased.

Allowing phones contributes to bullying

“[when you ban mobile phones] the amount of online bullying and peer-on-peer abuse decreases.”

Before mobile phones and internet connections, bullying was limited to face-to-face physical and
verbal abuse. Now, cyberbullying can also follow students home, where they should feel safe.
What’s more, students can also take photos and videos and target other students and teachers
anonymously.

Olivia says, “It’s so important that they don’t have their phones out in school – not just because of
the distraction in class, but there are also problems with students filming each other or filming the
teachers, taking pictures of the teachers…[when you ban mobile phones] the amount of online
bullying and peer-on-peer abuse decreases.”

Mobile phones also stir up other issues of privacy, safety and etiquette online. Issues like theft in the
playground, sharing adult content, and the potential for blackmail.

‘Mobile phone addiction’ creates mental health issues

“It’s a much needed eight-hour break from their mobile phones.”

Some studies suggest a possible link between ‘mobile phone addiction’ and negative psychological
effects such as sleep deficit, anxiety, stress and depression. A ban on mobiles would help reduce
these risks.

As Olivia said, in an increasingly online world, ‘school is a much needed eight-hour break from their
mobile phones.’

With the statement that we have given, we can prove that it is a good thing to ban the use of
cellphones at school

Sebuah studi tahun 2017 menunjukkan bahwa lebih dari 90% siswa menggunakan teknologi di kelas
untuk tujuan yang tidak terkait dengan pekerjaan mereka. Oleh karena itu, tidak mengherankan jika
guru sering merasa bersaing untuk mendapatkan perhatian siswa.

Ponsel mengurangi produktivitas

Satu studi dari London School of Economics menunjukkan bahwa melarang ponsel di sekolah
memiliki efek positif pada nilai ujian. Mereka menyurvei sekolah di empat kota di Inggris dan
menemukan bahwa prestasi siswa dalam ujian berisiko tinggi meningkat secara signifikan.

Mengizinkan ponsel berkontribusi pada intimidasi

“[ketika Anda melarang ponsel] jumlah intimidasi online dan penyalahgunaan peer-on-peer
berkurang.”

Sebelum ponsel dan koneksi internet, intimidasi terbatas pada pelecehan fisik dan verbal tatap
muka. Sekarang, cyberbullying juga bisa mengikuti siswa pulang, di mana mereka seharusnya merasa
aman. Terlebih lagi, siswa juga dapat mengambil foto dan video dan menargetkan siswa dan guru
lain secara anonim.

Olivia mengatakan, “Sangat penting bahwa mereka tidak mengeluarkan ponsel mereka di sekolah –
bukan hanya karena gangguan di kelas, tetapi ada juga masalah dengan siswa yang merekam satu
sama lain atau merekam guru, memotret guru…[ ketika Anda melarang ponsel] jumlah intimidasi
online dan penyalahgunaan peer-on-peer berkurang.”

Ponsel juga menimbulkan masalah privasi, keamanan, dan etiket online lainnya. Masalah seperti
pencurian di taman bermain, berbagi konten dewasa, dan potensi pemerasan.

'Kecanduan ponsel' menciptakan masalah kesehatan mental

"Ini adalah istirahat delapan jam yang sangat dibutuhkan dari ponsel mereka."

Beberapa penelitian menunjukkan kemungkinan hubungan antara 'kecanduan ponsel' dan efek
psikologis negatif seperti kurang tidur, kecemasan, stres dan depresi. Larangan ponsel akan
membantu mengurangi risiko ini.

Seperti yang dikatakan Olivia, di dunia yang semakin online, 'sekolah adalah istirahat delapan jam
yang sangat dibutuhkan dari ponsel mereka
