Principal reveals teaching secrets Principal of SRMP 4 Padang, Azizah Batubara, said the number of students living at SRMP 4 Padang and study is 146 people. He said the school maps the potential and weaknesses of all students. “Well, the kids, as you said earlier, have changed a lot compared to when they first arrived. At that time they were very active, actually overactive, and then we didn’t know what their potential was. But, after doing talent DNA mapping, we knew which ones were in their top 10, and which were in their bottom 5,” said Azizah Batubara. He said, when they first arrived, there were still many students who were overactive. However, he said students are now calmer, more confident and show interest in the skills they have. “Well, from there we started to design lessons that suit them, so today we can see that the children started to calm down. We already know that their interests and talents have started to show, we have placed some of them in clubs. Currently we have children in the swimming club,” he said. “God willing, after that there will be those who will do martial arts, some will do taekwondo, some will do martial arts, some of us will bring coaches here, some will put us in clubs, some will already excel in the field of football. Currently, we train regularly at one club and we pay it from here,” he said. He said SRMP 4 Padang students come from underprivileged backgrounds. He said learning at SRMP 4 Padang is tailored to DNA talent. “Our children who were unreachable before are now affordable, children who could not get all the facilities, all the proper learning, can now get a decent education with various infrastructures, there are laptops, there are smart boards and they can now enjoy various facilities in terms of learning because we designed the learning according to the DNA talent,” he said. Azizah further said that his party took a religious approach to SRMP 4 Padang students. He said the positive impact of student changes can be felt by parents. “With the condition of our children, we initially touched on religion, so there were dormitory activities that were already in a regular pattern. So thank God for testimonies from parents, the children now pray often, even at home when they come home, they are the ones who remind their parents,” said Azizah. “Now pray again, Mah, pray again now, Father, and this is a very pleasant thing for the parents and also their attitude, as you said earlier, begins to calm down, they begin to be confident. At first they only answered one question, now they can develop, they can explain and this is also progress for our children,” he added. (mib/jbr)
