In Sang Bintang School, the man who teaches not we call as
teacher or instructor. Neither is mentor. But we call them as special name
based on genius principles. What is that? Genius method pressed that everybody
has been indeed smart even genius since
they were just born. So, the teacher should not be too proud making pupil
smart. They just guide the pupils. They just accompany the learning process.
Cause just of accompanying, so we call them as “mate”. We attribute them as
Geniusmate.
Is “mate” just a word
or really friend in learning process? Yah, it is really a friend. A pupil
really needs a somebody who likes to listen him/her practicing his/ her
English. Common pupil looks like shy to express his/ her English. So, how can
they be smart if they never practice?
A pupil really needs a somebody who likes to correct or
adjust him/ her when they get any mistakes in his/ her practice. And it is not
just a correction, but the correction with their way. What is their way? Sometimes
a pupil can not understand what the teacher tells him/ her, teacher uses his/
her own language that maybe not be understood well by the pupil. How can? We
realize that the teacher usually has been very long to teach. He/ she has long
manhour. In the long period like that sometimes they forget how feeling the
pupil is. We call this learning gap. Moreover, the teacher age is older and
older and the pupil age is younger and younger.
The situation changes so fast. Faster than we have expected. The generation
gap happens.
The simple example that I can give is to look at when an
infant in our house crying. Usually we find the mother can’t do anything to
make her infant stops crying. But at same time, the infant’s sibling can come
to the infant and do something that makes the infant stop crying. Maybe at the
time his/her sibling knows better what the infant wants than his/ her mom
instead.
Another simple example is when we realize that is difficult
to a professor to teach a kindergarten or elementary school student better than
teaching post graduate student. Is it right? They have a gap.
So, what does Sang Bintang School do? We create geniusmate
not teacher , instructor or mentor only.
The geniusmate is friend in the pupil learning process. The friend should
be able to understand faster. And the friend should have not too long difference.
The difference is either in age or in how close the english understanding is □ sir
