FORGET SOMETHING, SIR ? IT IS COMMON

            It is very natural that every human on the earTh doing or making mistake. Including in the educational environtment, teacher, students sometimes make mistake undeliberately. For some cases or fields making mistake can be considered as the simple ones, but it can influence the students’ reliability towards the teacher. Because, however, mistake is often described as the weaknesses of someone. For a teacher who has responsibility for teaching and educating needs to be aware of this problem, by treating the mistake properly, the teacher can avoid getting their problem that is losing their students’ reliability.

            Avoid making mistake by asking the students back. Sometimes, as a teacher is challenged by his or her students. By asking the hard and difficult questions, the students know the level of teacher’s ability. Lucky, if a teacher can answer the answer. Lucky if a teacher can guess correctly. But, how if the teacher got hammered by being asked such difficult questions ???. what a pity such poor teacher. Here, the writer have an efective way and intriguing technique to “avenge” the challengers in the class. The students ask hard, so does the teacher. If a teacher trapped in this problem of thinking, for instance the teacher does not know the answer of the questions. The teacher may ask for the students’ help back. The wise teacher in such bad condition will say “ ok, I know exactly the answer, but I need to know how far your understanding and your critical thinking are !!” what a smart teacher, his or her students will think. As a teacher who is considered as the highest one in the educational environment gives additional time to students to think and answer difficult questions although, in fact, he or she gives the additional time for them to answer the question.

            If the answer has not been found yet by thinking in the additional time. The teacher should try the second technique “ combine the students’ ideas”. The brave and courage students will express their ideas. This is can be the teacher’s best chance, by combining their ideas the teacher will get the conclusion for the answer. With a little knowledge of the answer and additional information from the students themselves. The teacher can construct perfect answer for the students.

            Last step to avoid getting besmeared is having the students find the answer at their home. Often, most of the students just keep silent and wait for the answer from the teacher. If a teacher fails to get the answer by having the additional time to think, combining the students’ ideas it is the time for teacher to pretend getting mad. This pretended action will make the students forget about the question and the teacher says “ ok, take it as your homework and as the punishment for all of you” and the teacher continues “ I will be waiting for your answer”.....
