The Colorful Work World
Ch. 16 Extracurricular

One morning. When I was resting in the teacher's room waiting for teaching time. Come, Mr. Urfan, come to me, patting me on the shoulder.

"Sir Ray, how are you? Not busy anymore?"

"No, what's wrong?" Answer me while massaging my back. The blow from Mr. Urfan was quite felt until I had to elus.

"Gini pa Ray, it's about to start exculi. Please hold the web. Mr. Ampad said you could do it."

I paused for a moment then replied, "Seriously sir? I'd like to. When is the day sir?"

"Adjust your schedule. About this schedule, what day you're empty." Mr. Urfan offered a map with an empty teaching schedule.

After filling the schedule, Mr. Urfan immediately paid to ask the schedule of other teachers.

A few days after this meeting, Mr. Urfan had already made a schedule and made suggestions for the room we were going to use.

Because web excrement requires a computer, inevitably I have to do an exculus in a computer lab. There's no way I'm forcing students to bring laptops. Poor students who do not have these tools. I'm also quite happy because in the computer lab there's AC so I won't overheat.

The time and room are clear. Just looking for students who want to participate. Funny later if the room is equally there teachers but there are no students.

"Kids. I have an announcement"

"What announcement sir?"

I announced my exculpation to them when the lesson was over. Some kids are interested in coming. But the excursion hours do not match after they go home from school. Therefore most likely more people who choose to go home than follow the exculpation. Most of them do not want to wait a few hours to enter the exculpation time.

This hour problem is because I also have another teaching hour and a schedule of empty space for exculpation. There are so many considerations to determine the time of this exculus.

I hope there are students coming. Because if no one comes along at all, the excreta will disperse. Somehow it will happen if it happens. Hopefully it won't get that way. I believe there are some students coming.

With anxious feelings I wait for the arrival of students to participate in the exculpation. Thank God after waiting, 5 people from the tenth grade came into the laboratory.

Unfortunately no eleventh and twelfth graders followed the exculpation. It seems they are no longer interested in following him. Another possibility is that they will be on another schedule. Because I also made a schedule of not just one.

For the first meeting, I started by filling out the absences first. Extracurriculars also have special absences that are different from class absences. Do not let the absence be confused, lazy down to the teacher's room to take it later.

The lesson this time is to install the required software first. Because for the website does not need to install a lot of software. Just one software to create a web application. Then the text editor writes the coding. The software we use is XAMPP.

In addition to what we use there is also another software called WAMPP. Both software are more or less the same way to use it. It depends on which taste to choose.

The computer specs required are also not too large, unless we have started to create applications with a lot of data and require a large connection to the database.

Some students already have a little knowledge about web programmers. So they're easier to capture the material I teach. For those who have never before, need help to understand it.

Our learning is gradual because it is not possible for a 45-minute meeting to include all the material on this subject. Web programming is growing every year. It could be that the market trend is turning into another type of coding. For now I only teach HTML standards and friends only. Haven't gotten into Phyton and the others.

There are some things that are quite interesting when the exculpation occurs. First of all, no students came. Naturally, because indeed they seem less interested in the world of programming. When I was in college, I also chose a computer major, on average, more men than women.

Usually also men pay less attention to the appearance and smell of his body. Unlike the girls who really care about it. That's why playboy usually has advantages either from his face cleaner because of care or because the clothes he wears are charming for girls.

The lab I used was box-shaped and the computer was lined up to follow that formation. About 15-20 computers. I think this amount is enough to do the exculpation. The number of students is not much either. However, there are some computers that do not work so it must be checked before use. I don't know when the lab guards will fix the broken computer.

Another thing that is quite unique is when you see them make strongholds during exculus. One group gathers on one side and the other group on the other. This happened in class too. They sit closer to their gang. So they are more familiar with the students who sit close to them.

It seems that from the school period also we can see a little of their association in the future. That is why the environment has a huge impact on our lives. The better our environment, the better we will be. This also happens the opposite. This is what makes us choose our friends carefully.

After the completion of the exculpation. They all disperse immediately so as not to be too late in the afternoon. Because some of them are home away from school.

Besides web exculpation. There are also several other subjects at this school. I had stopped by some exkul to catch a glimpse of their activities.

One that I often stop by is a film exkul which is a mandatory exkul for Multimedia majors. Although mandatory, there are still stubborn and do not participate in exculpation. As a result they become difficult in following the multimedia lessons in the future. Mr. Dani is the builder of this exkul. He also raised his hands against the lazy disciple. If his son does not want to, he must take responsibility for his own actions.

The film exhibition is carried out in a multimedia laboratory room. This lab is in my opinion the most luxurious because the ac is cold, clean carpets, and projection screens are still feasible to use. Dani and I hang out here a lot if there's free time for ngadem.

Another exculus that is mandatory for computer network engineering (TKJ) majors is tissue excrement. Just like movies, they also teach additional techniques for networked computer material. There are also still students who are truant even though this is a mandatory exkul. It is only natural to be lazy because they are teenagers. Time of self-search.

In addition to mandatory exculpation, there are also other excreta such as acoustics, salons, scouts, choirs, marawis, and other excculi.

Extracurriculars exist to enhance the skills of the students. Because class lessons alone are not enough to be their provision in the future. You can also find many new relationships and friends by following your exkul. As long as the builder and members of the exkul well, it should have a positive impact also on us.

Seeing this kind of exkul reminds me of when I was in Junior High School and High School. I followed some of my exculi and came out of some that didn't suit my interests. There was also a debate with parents about this.

Returning to the exculus, although teaching the exculus makes the workload multiply. School is impossible to get us to work without pay. Every exkul that we do, we will also get a wage. This is what makes me excited to run an exkul. No money no party.

"Where is Ray's excise? Smoothly?".

"Yes, usual sir. There are only but not many. Fortunately, they are more passionate about learning than in class. Ahaha!"

Every month Mr. Urfan is the one who takes care of the commission for exculpation. He will travel to all the teachers concerned to distribute the wages. I salute him for being patient to give this wage. Because he also takes care of some other things such as the Scout Exkul.

"Yes, kids. Now I'll see how you did yesterday"

Every time I start my job, I make sure their progress every day. Since the number of disciples were fewer than ordinary classes, I could focus more on guiding them one by one.

Some are already good. They also code quickly. But there are also those who are not too fast to type. Usually an hour of exculpation wears off this way. Not much material can be delivered with the time. More towards the student asked and I replied. Then they practice themselves. Sometimes there are even browsing the site is not clear.

I hope my explanation is clear enough. Because I don't have enough time to make concrete material for exculpation.

There was also a funny incident when they borrowed a flash. Because I used an animated keychain from one of the Japanese cartoons. One of the students who also liked it immediately knew where the cartoon came from. I can only laugh a little at hearing that. I used to love that. But when it reaches the world of work, the time to do this is reduced.

In addition, there is also one event that requires a lot of effort to do it. That is accreditation. What is accreditation? See the next chapter for a full explanation.
