Each of you must have different criteria in determining the
best school for children. Some argue that the best schools provide ‘complete
packages’. Not only giving knowledge to their students, but also instilling
good character and character, as well as providing in-depth religious
knowledge.
There are also those who are happy with the old school, the
academic quality of which has been tested for years through the quality of its
graduates. The important thing you remember, the determination of school
criteria must be based on the needs and interests of children, not just your
desires.
Browsing
Only by typing the right keywords in the Google search
engine, you can easily find information about the best schools, according to
predetermined criteria.
Well, if you are observant and diligent browsing, you will
actually find more useful information on social media, blogs, or forums.
There, usually, parents can share information about their
child’s school, even very detailed information, starting from the school
atmosphere, the attitude of the teachers, to the condition of the bathroom.
Sharing is useful, right? This could be an addition to your consideration.
School shopping
Now, it’s time for school shopping or goes to the school one
by one. If all this time you have information only based on brochures,
experiences of other parents, and photographs, now is the time to see firsthand
the physical form of your target school.
Many things must be observed during school shopping, ranging
from the distance from home to school, road conditions in the morning, the
location and environment around the school, the building and its facilities,
and the school atmosphere. Besides observing, this is also the right time for
you to ask more questions about the education system implemented in the school.
Dig deeper about the vision, mission, and values adopted
by the school is it the same as your vision, mission, and values as a parent.
You need to know whether the school is only aimed at treating children with
good test scores or forming children into independent learners.
Counting
Every parent wants the best school for children. But, the
best school for children is not necessarily an expensive school, right, Ma? So,
count carefully. Not that you should not put your child into an expensive
school. But you are advised to choose a school that suits your financial
capabilities.
Your responsibility as a parent to children’s education is
not just now when the child enters kindergarten or elementary school. There are
still higher education levels, junior high, high school, and college. You must
make sure your child gets the best education at all levels according to your
ability.
It’s time to make a
choice
All of the four stages above you’ve gone through. Now, it’s
time to make a choice. Make sure you discuss all remaining school choices with
dad and kids. Reconsider matters that you consider important, such as distance
between the school and home, two-way learning systems, facilities, portions of
religious studies, and costs, for each school.
Give scores for all these important points. Then, see which
school gets the highest score. To be more convincing that the choice does not
fall into the wrong school, you can also invite your child to take a trial
class. From this experience, you can be absolutely sure whether the learning
system at the school is really suitable for children.
And, children can be determined to decide whether they would
like to go to school there. Happy hunting school!
