Today is the Second of May and people in Indonesia celebrate the Educational Day.
Considering that today is Sunday, I would like to quote lyric of refrain of the song "Another Brick in the Wall Part II " written and performed by British rock band Pink Floyd :
We don't need no education
We don't need no thought control
No dark sarcasm in the classroom
Teachers leave them kids alone
Hey teachers leave them kids alone!
All in all you're just another brick in the wall
All in all you're just another brick in the wall
This is a protest song against rigid Schooling in general and Boarding schools in particular which has led the song being banned by the Apartheid regime in South Africa in 1980.
I hope that the above lyrics do not reflect the conditions of some schools and boarding schools in Indonesia, I'll keep fingers crossed.
