This day I "should impose" myself to be on campus, from early in the morning until the afternoon-evening all. From the first I went to college I've roundabout that day it will rain (understandably, this area of clouds in the this one week,  region of malang and surrounding light rain continues), and as it has been predictable before rain down mercilessly. When it rained I was reminded again to my family at home, you know, when I was home last Sunday, but still I thought on them, especially my nephew's number two before the last. He was 4 years old and has already entered the first year to enter kindergarten.

In the village where I live there are several KINDERGARTENS which are all competing among one another. excess for excess displayed by one school in another school. A different song with another, different ways of learning the Koran and even the inclusion of a numeric materials, in my opinion, is too heavy for the child NURSERY, namely the inclusion of materials multiplication and Division of learning in the curriculum of the school.

When I ask one of the kindergarten teachers about the reasons for granting such material, the teacher replied that it was done because now all parents want their children to be colonised multiplication and Division by the dream of entering in one of your favorite SD claiming to be on the test in advance. therefore teachers inevitably provide such material with the reason "to trawl the pupil".

In view of Piaget (Solso, 2008), a person who is in the range of 2-7 years of age is in the pre-operational stage, someone at this age range of his thinking is egocentric she was only thinking about himself, he was unable to distinguish which one is the perception of herself and where is the others, for all those that think just like him. For example, if one child at this time left his parents to a place then the child will feel that their parents do not see them, because they don't see their parents. Then that their intuition more than thoughts logically so it's no wonder if the children at this time could not use reasoning causality and other things that are "somewhat" heavy. The last attribute is not yet having the ability of conservation namely ability to nurture and take care of something.

Therefore granting materials too heavy that requires a thinking "better" as well as analyzed in it should not be included in KINDERGARTEN learning, because it is indeed really rather than their material and requires thoughts of more complex which is very far from the reach of their cognitive abilities. However, in some areas there are various practices that are not through the selection of the material, so that sometimes there are materials that are "inappropriate" and performed by various institutions in Indonesia that are “upon name”  for the sake of education in Indonesia. They seemed to have forgotten the risk-the risk that would be incurred thereafter.

Keep in mind back about someone's Motivation, if we've done a variety of things that we don't master this repeatedly without any increase in it, of course we will feel that we failed in completing the role that we have to do as a student (for example) and in fact we will misinterpret ourselves so that we judge ourselves as a "fool" and the results Hopefully, at least, is that we become less confident or even stress.

'l say that if could indeed be accelerated in learning why not? But it needs to be noted that not all children who have the ability like that, only a part of the kids who had the ability to "above average". So that the process of "accelerated material" to an object that is not appropriate, in my opinion, it is not right to do.

This alone for this afternoon

Hopefully helpful
