National Exam: Pro and Contra?
National exam becomes the hot topic in most of discussions among
students, teachers, and parents. Some people believe that national
exam is not necessary for students as a requirement to be able
graduate from a school. In other hand, other people see national exam
as an important indicator to know whether students have mastered all
school materials or not. The debate among society about national
examination goes on until now.
For people who agree, national exam is necessary for students as a
requirement to graduate from a school. People who support the
national exam explain that the quality of the Indonesia education will
drop without the national exam, so they try to defend the current
system. They also think that national examination can motivate
students to study harder.
However there are people who disagree with the opinion. Those who
against this national exam kept in school education say that it doesn’t
need the national exams because the quality of education does not just
depend on the national exam. Further, the national exam only
measures a small portion of students’ competence in specific subjects,
and does not measure students’ competences throughout the
semester.
In conclusion, national examination can still be useful as an instrument
to evaluate or detect the level of students’ cognitive competence in
several subjects, on a national scale. However, it is not fair if only
national exam score that judge whether students pass or not.
Government should make a regulation that national exam is not the
only requirement for students to graduate. There should be other
requirements added such as students’ daily score, behavior, and
achievement.

Film Spider-Man: Homecoming
Spider-Man: Homecoming is a fun movie about one of Marvel’s most
enduringly popular characters. Starring an actual teen (Tom Holland)
as web-slinging high schooler Peter Parker, its spirit is very much in
line with the original comics. As always with Spider-Man, there are
messages about power and responsibility, finding strength within
yourself, being brave, and persevering.
Clever, funny, and true to the Spider-Man spirit, this take on everyone’s
favorite web-slinger is thoroughly entertaining. The world was
understandably skeptical of yet another Spidey reboot, but in this case,
it was the right call. Even more than the Toby Maguire and Andrew
Garfield takes on the wall crawler — as good as those were — Spider-
Man: Homecoming really captures the tone of the original comics. A
large part of that is thanks to the fact that, for the first time on the big
screen, Peter is being played by an actual teenager.
It’s not a perfect film; the plot doesn’t always have a totally clear
trajectory. And while Tony and Peter’s lack of communication/mutual
frustration brings to mind Harry’s relationship with Professor
Dumbledore during some of the Harry Potter saga, their dynamic
brings something new and powerful to the Marvel-verse as well: true
mentorship.
‘Spider-Man: Homecoming’ – the 16th installment in the Marvel
Cinematic Universe – might just be one of the best ones yet! The latest
Spider-Man movie introduces us to a new, hilarious, middle-school
aged Peter Parker (Tom Holland), who is facing multiple difficulties in
his teenage life. While he’s trying to prove to his new mentor, Tony
Stark/Iron Man (Robert Downey Jr), that he has what it takes to
become an Avenger.
