A CALL FOR EXPULSION OF BULLIES FROM SCHOOL TO STOP BULLYING

          The problem of bullying in Indonesian educational institutions is not a new case and it keeps increasing every year. The large number of cases of violence that occur among school children today is very worrying for both education and parents. According to the Federation of Indonesian Teachers' Unions (FSGI), there will be 23 cases of bullying in schools in 2023. Of the 23 cases, 13.5% at the high school level, and 13.5% at the vocational school level, 50% occurred at the junior high school level, and 23% at the elementary school level. A survey conducted by Plan Indonesia and Semai Jiwa Amini (SEJIWA) in 2008, involved 1,500 middle and high school students in three big cities in Indonesia, namely Jakarta, Surabaya, and Yogyakarta, which recorded a level of violence of 67,9% at the high school level and 66,1% at the middle school level. Bullying happened at 43,7% at the high school level and 41,2% at the junior high school level(Wibowo et al., 2021). A bully usually deliberately intends to hurt the victims and unfortunately, this often happens in schools, which is the place where we are supposed to gain knowledge. If the bullies continue bullying other students at school, then this will be very detrimental and have fatal consequences for the victims. Therefore, the bullies should be given a serious punishment in the form of expelling the bullies from school. However, there are still pros and cons opinions about dropping the bullies out of school. Considering the harmful effects of bullying, the best thing we can do to prevent bullying is by expelling the bullies from school.

The main reason why we should expel the bullies from school is to protect the victims’ mental health. A survey conducted by Plan Indonesia and Semai Jiwa Amini (SEJIWA) in 2008 proved that bullying had occurred in schools with the highest category of psychological bullying in the form of ostracism. In second place is verbal bullying in the form of teasing and mocking, and lastly physical bullying in the form of punches (Wibowo et al., 2021). If the bullies do not stop bullying other people at school, then this will be very detrimental and have fatal consequences for the victims. Therefore, bullies should be dropped out of school to prevent unwanted things from happening. and to avoid fatal consequences for victims of bullying cases such as injuries, depression, and trauma. Especially if the victims have to see the bullies every day at school, then the trauma will never go away. Therefore, bullies should be expelled from school. In Law Number 23 of 2002 concerning Child Protection, Article 54 stipulates "Children in and within the school environment must be protected from acts of violence committed by teachers, school administrators or their friends at the school concerned, or other educational institutions."

The next reason why the bullies should be expelled from school is to to create a sense of deterrence on them. According to Kompasiana 2021, Febrilia Akika Sari, a Communication Science Student at UIN Sunan Kalijaga Yogyakarta shared her story on her blog about the bullying she experienced in schools. She said that she got bullied in junior high school. After she got bullied by her 4 classmates, she reported them to the guidance and counseling teacher. As a result, everyone involved in the bullying was called to the guidance and counseling room. They say to counselors that they were just joking. Febrilia said that the bullies did not regret their actions at all. There was no regretful expression on their faces. One of her friends who was bullying her even threatened her for reporting it. This is a proof that bullying can get worse if we don't act decisively against the bullies. The bullies must be expelled from school to make them feel deterred so they won’t bully others anymore. Expelling the bullies from school would reduce the occurrence of bullying cases in schools because it means that we are sending a clear message to other bullies that bullying will not be tolerated.

On the other hand, some argue and do not agree that bullies should be expelled from school. In their opinion, the bullies must not be expelled from school because they still have a future. Bullies who are expelled have a far higher chance of failing critical developmental milestones, and removing bullies from their social network can make social issues worse (Raffaele Mendez, 2003; Santrock, n.d.). In comparison to their peers, bullies who have been expelled from school are more likely to fail to complete a General Equivalency Diploma (GED) or other vocational training; additionally, they are more likely to engage in criminal activity, have higher rates of depression, drug addiction, the stress at home, and antisocial behavior (Sundius & Farneth, 2008). That is why dropping them out from school could ruin their bright future. Then how about the victims’ future? Keeping the bullies in schools could ruin the victims’ mental health and the victims’ future. Also, the bullying could be worse than before because the bullies feel that the actions they committed on the victims did not have any bad impact on them since they only received a small punishment.

Bullying can cause such deep trauma to the victims that the victims may feel afraid to go to school again or even worse, they will decide to stop attending school after experiencing bullying at school. In the case that happened to one of the 3^rd-grade elementary school students in Palangka Raya, the victim got bullied in school and it caused the victim to experience psychological disorders and deep trauma so that the victim was often delirious and afraid when sleeping (Latif, 2023). Bullying can have a devastating impact on the future of its victims. Many cases of bullying occur in Indonesian schools and not infrequently cases of bullying in schools which cause the victim to be disabled and make the victims commit suicide because they cannot bear to be bullied every day at school. Bullying can cause the victim to become disabled as the bullying case that occurred several months ago in Gresik. A 2^nd-grade elementary school student is permanently blind in her right eye as a result of being allegedly stabbed by her senior (BBC News Indonesia, 2023). Besides, bullying has fatal consequences for the victim because bullying can make the victim commit suicide as happened in one of the elementary schools in Banyuwangi on February 27, 2023, one of the students from the elementary school committed suicide due to being a victim of bullying at his school (CNN Indonesia, 2023). Even dropping them out of school would not be enough for the bullies as their punishment. Imagine if the bullies did not get the punishment they deserved.

Exposing the bullies from school is the best action to prevent bad things from happening like the cases mentioned above. More than likely, bullying has many adverse effects on victims such as trauma, injuries, depression, and even worse suicide. Bullying will lead to fatal consequences if we do not handle it properly. Too many bullying cases happened in schools repeatedly and we have to do something to stop them. We cannot let these things happen to students whose main task is to study. Students should not experience bullying, especially in the school which should be the safe place where they are supposed to gain knowledge. Therefore, to protect the victims, to reduce, and to avoid unpleasant things happening especially in schools, we must take a firm stance against the bullies as our best effort by making a call for expulsion of bullies from school to stop bullying.

Cara Menggunakan Rumus IF pada MS Excel

Rumus IF dipakai untuk membandingkan logika terhadap nilai tertentu. Hasilnya akan menampilkan nilai tersebut dalam bentuk TRUE jika sesuai, atau dalam bentuk FALSE jika nilainya tidak sesuai. Dengan rumus fungsi IF kita bisa membandingkan logika yang kita masukkan. Lalu Microsoft Excel akan memproses logika tersebut berdasarkan kondisi yang ada. Kemudian menampilkan nilai/hasil akhir yang didapat.

Dalam prakteknya, rumus formula IF bisa digunakan jika kita ingin membandingkan siswa berprestasi atau tidaknya dengan memanfaatkan nilai ujian/nilai rapor tiap siswa, atau menentukan lulus atau tidak lulusnya siswa dalam mata pelajaran tersebut.

Cara menggunakan rumus IF pada MS Excel terbilang mudah. Letakkan kursor pada sel yang ingin dijadikan tempat hasil dari perhitungan rumus IF. Kemudian ketikkan rumus dengan format =IF(LogikaYangDiuji;Nilai_JikaSesuai;Nilai_JikaTidakSesuai) di mana semua alamat sel, nilai, maupun angka dimasukkan ke dalam kurung. Khusus huruf berikan tanda petik, contoh “Benar”, atau “Salah”, kemudian tekan Enter pada keyboard untuk melihat hasilnya.

1. Contoh Penggunaan Rumus Fungsi IF Sederhana pada MS Excel

Misalnya kita akan mengkategorikan lulus atau tidak lulusnya siswa berdasarkan nilai yang mereka dapat. Maka kita cukup menggunakan fungsi IF seperti biasa dengan memasukkan referensi selnya serta logika yang kita inginkan, lalu masukkan nilainya yaitu nilai LULUS-nya adalah 60 atau lebih dari 60, sedangkan nilai TIDAK LULUS-nya adalah kurang dari 60.

=IF(D3<60;"TIDAK LULUS";"LULUS")

2. Contoh Penggunaan Rumus IF AND Pada MS Excel

Misalnya kita akan menentukan lulus atau gagalnya siswa dari dua kriteria nilai. yaitu, nilai teori dan nilai praktik. Siswa harus memiliki nilai teori dan nilai praktik lebih dari 7 untuk lulus. Jika di dalam salah satu nilai siswa mendapat nilai 7 atau kurang dari 7, maka siswa dikategorikan gagal.

Dalam penggunaan rumus IF dan fungsi AND, kamu bisa menuliskannya dalam formula sebagai berikut.

=IF(AND(C2>7;D2>7);"LULUS";"GAGAL")

3. Contoh Penggunaan Rumus Fungsi IF Sederhana Bertingkat pada MS Excel

Sama seperti penggunaan IF di nomor satu, pada rumus IF ini adalah untuk menentukan kebenaran suatu kondisi. Bedanya, kali ini rumus IF yang digunakan bertingkat. Misalnya, kita ingin mengkategorikan nilai siswa menjadi nilai huruf berdasarkan dua nilai angka yang mereka dapatkan sebelumnya. Siswa akan mendapat nilai B jika rata-ratanya kurang dari 90, nilai C bila nilai rata-ratanya kurang dari 80, dan nilai D apabila nilai rata-ratanya kurang dari 60. Maka, kalian bisa menentukannya melalui rumus fungsi sebagai berikut.

=IF(D3<60;"D";IF(D3<80;"C";IF(D3<90;"B";"A")))

Itulah beberapa contoh penggunaan rumus if di excel yang bisa kamu terapkan pada saat melakukan evaluasi data. Pastikan untuk menuliskan rumus IF excel dengan tepat sehingga tidak ada kesalahan dalam analisa data yang ada.

Pentingnya Perayaan Maulid Nabi Muhammad SAW

Maulid Nabi adalah peringatan hari lahir Nabi Muhammad yang dirayakan oleh umat Islam setiap tahun pada tanggal 12 Rabiul Awal dalam tahun hijriyah. Perayaan Maulid Nabi merupakan tradisi yang berkembang dalam masyarakat Islam sebagai bentuk sukacita dan ekspresi kegembiraan juga penghormatan terhadap Nabi Muhammad.

Dalam sejarah Islam, perayaan maulid Nabi sudah berlangsung sejak ribuan tahun yang lalu. Di Indonesia sendiri, sejarah Maulid Nabi Muhammad berkembang di tangan Wali Songo atau sekitar tahun 1404 Masehi. Perayaan tersebut dilakukan oleh para Wali Songo guna menarik hati masyarakat untuk memeluk agama Islam. Maka dari itu, Maulid Nabi juga dikenal dengan nama perayaan Syahadatin. Selain itu, Maulid Nabi juga dikenal dengan Gerebeg Mulud karena masyarakat merayakan Maulid Nabi dengan menggelar upacara nasi gunungan/tumpeng.

Lalu, mengapa kita harus merayakan Maulid Nabi? Menurut Sayyid Muhammad Al-Maliki pada kitab Syarh Maulid Ad-Diba’I, terdapat lima alasan mengapa kita harus merayakan Maulid Nabi, yaitu ;

1.     Wujud Rasa Bahagia/Sukacita

Kita harus merayakan Maulid Nabi sebagai bentuk wujud rasa bahagia dan gembira atas kelahirannya Nabi Muhammad. Berdasarkan sebuah cerita, bahkan seorang pamannya Nabi yang menentang Islam, yakni Abu Lahab, diringankan siksanya oleh Allah di neraka setiap hari senin karena pada masa hidupnya, ia turut senang dan gembira atas kelahiran Nabi Muhammad.

2.     Bentuk Kasih Sayang Allah

Allah memerintahkan kita untuk berbahagia, sebab rahmat dan pertolongan yang Allah berikan. Lahirnya Nabi Muhammad SAW adalah rahmat terbesar yang Allah berikan kepada kita. Bahkan di dalam Al-Qur’an dijelaskan bahwa Allah mengutus Nabi Muhammad sebagai bentuk kasih sayang Allah untuk semesta.

3.      Ungkapan Rasa Syukur

Tentunya kita sebagai umat Islam patut bersyukur atas kelahiran Nabi Muhammad. karena dengan kelahiran Nabi Muhammad, manusia dapat menemukan cahaya agama Islam

4.      Menambah Rasa Cinta Terhadap Nabi dan Memantapkan Iman

Perayaan Maulid Nabi diwarnai dengan berbagai macam cerita pada masa kehidupan Nabi. Hal itu akan meningkatkan rasa cinta kita kepada Nabi Muhammad serta akan memantapkan iman kita terhadap Nabi Muhammad.

5.     Perayaan Maulid Nabi Merupakan Bid’ah Hasanah

Perayaan Maulid Nabi adalah Bid’ah yang baik yang sudah diajarkan turun temurun bagi umat Islam. Hal itu dikarenakan perayaan Maulid Nabi terbukti berdampak positif bagi masyarakat luas.

Dari hal-hal yang telah saya kemukakan di atas, bisa diambil kesimpulan bahwa perayaan Maulid Nabi bukanlah perayaan yang sia-sia. Jika kita mengikuti perayaan Maulid Nabi, maka akan dipastikan bahwa kita akan mendapatkan manfaatnya. Maka sebaiknya ikutilah acara itu, agar kita dapat menambah kebaikan dan juga meningkatkan keimanan kita terhadap Nabi Muhammad SAW.
