Registering a School Indi
By Jogjakarta ....
Now, Ervita and Pandu enroll Indi schools in Taman Kanak-Kanak, a school with Lintang. Only, Lintang will later be in TK B, while Indi will be a TK A student. For Kindergarten, indeed Ervita and Pandu choose a Kindergarten that is not too far from home. For the curriculum and teaching programs can be adjusted, because indeed what they consider is that Indi can learn first and know what the school is like.
In addition, Pandu and Ervita also expect Indi to also learn to make friends later. During this time, Indi could be friends, but it was limited to just being with Lintang and her sister. If, with many people never. Although at home, usually the child will show a different attitude in school. So, indeed Ervita and Pandu expect Indi to also learn to make friends.
"Prepared the terms, Dinda," Pandu told Ervita.
The plan is that Pandu will only go to school with Ervita. While the children will be temporarily entrusted to the Eyeangnya. Signing up doesn't take too long either. So, the two chose to go together.
"I have filled out the registration form, Mas ... In addition, my birth certificate and Family Card have also been brought," replied Ervita.
"The photo of Indi measuring 3x4 already?" ask Pandu again. All that too so that nothing is left behind. It is better that everything be brought from home, rather than already getting there, and there are requirements that are left behind.
"Yes, Yayah .. All have been taken. I also brought my own pen. Later if you have to fill something again," replied Ervita.
Pandu just smiled. Instead of anyone left behind and taking everything, it is better to be prepared everything from home. Then Ervita asked her husband.
"Mas, for the registration later already?" tanyakanya.
"Aman, Dinda ... later paid cash registration only. For the money to come in and the uniform, I just transfer it," Pandu replied.
Ervita was now the one smiling because her husband was already preparing. Relieved too. Because, if you have applied for school must have to pay for registration, administration and so on.
"Yuk, go," take Pandu.
Finally, the two left together and also headed to Lintang school, and in this school also later Indi will go to school. Even though departing from home, Ervita smiled, in fact she also had her own fears. That is also because the birth certificate belongs to Indi unlike other children.
First Daughter of Ervita's Mother.
This is what is printed on the birth certificate. There is no name of his father. It had made Ervita worried, and hope the school later did not question it. What Ervita experienced may also have experienced some women in this country, who actually became a single mother when pregnant and gave birth to her child, so that only her name is listed on the Birth Certificate. However, in the Family Card, Indi's identity is recorded as the child of Pandu. Even if it must be a child just keep it up.
"Here, don't think of anything" said Pandu who seemed to know that his wife was thinking of something. That's how Pandu is, sometimes without Ervita just telling the story, he already knows what his son is thinking.
"The birth certificate of Indi is different from the other children later, Mas," said Ervita later.
Now, Pandu knows what his wife is thinking. Apparently Ervita was silent and her forehead was wrinkled, it was because she thought about Indi's birth certificate. Learning for all of us, stains like this for life will carry over. Not just nine months during pregnancy until childbirth. However, it also feels the impact even until Indi matures later. Tilapia a speck of broken milk. Yes, the one Ervita faced would always feel her whole life.
Once at school, Pandu and Ervita boarded the second floor and headed inside the teacher's staff room. Then both were accepted by the Kindergarten Headmaster.
"Please Father and Mother .. introduce, I am Mr. Melati, the Headmaster at this Kindergarten" he said kindly.
"We want to enroll new students, ma'am," Ervita replied.
Then Ervita gives the registration form that she has filled out, then other documents needed. Then Bu Melati saw first the completeness of administration.
It looks like Bu Melati frowned when she saw the birth certificate of Indi. "Akta birth Ananda Indira is like this, Mom?" tanyakanya.
"Yes, right, Mom," Ervita replied.
Choose to be honest, because that is the reality. It is not always possible to lie about the current situation. Better to be honest.
"Is something wrong, Mom?" ask Pandu who seems to interrupt.
Then Bu Melati quickly shook her head. It's just that, only now he found the birth certificate that Indi was born from a mother only. His father's name is not there.
"Oh, no, sir .. no," replied Ms. Melati.
"Surely, Indi is my daughter" Pandu replied.
As if Pandu gave an explanation that whatever happened Indi was his daughter. Although the blood does not flow in Indi's body, but Pandu make sure that his affection will not end for Indi.
"No sir .. it's okay. Surely ananda will be accepted," replied Ms. Melati.
Education is all Indonesian children. No matter race, tribe, or religion. He was born to a single mother or a single father. Unfortunately, there is still such a stereotype in this country that seems to distinguish one child from another.
"Please pay the registration fee of two hundred thousand rupiah, Mr. Pandu," said Bu Melati.
Pandu then began to pay for registration money. In addition, Pandu also questioned the entrance money and uniform money. So Pandu just do the transfer with his phone.
"Please later Indi can be accepted and not differentiated with other children yes, Ms. .. there is a government regulation that all children should get the same education. There is even a Regulation of the Secretary-General of Kemendikbud No. 5 of 2021 that we can write the names of parents including the names of single mothers or guardians. So, I hope there is no discriminating learners," said Pandu.
Pandu better speak in fact and also ask the school to be cooperative with Indi. Does not discriminate the background of learners. Really, not only Pandu, other parents out there are also expecting the same.
