Life Furniture??

Yesterday, during our LSP300 class, that is English Language class, our teacher, Madam Rovena started the class as usual....

She asked some questions and want us gave our own opinions. However, we did not give any reply or response to her.

Then, she stopped her lessons. She said,'Why you all keep quite? Do you all know that, i can only remember those who speak out and give their opinions in the class. For those are never speak out, to me, you are only a part of the furniture, you are just coming in and sitting down and warming up the furniture.... After the class finish, you stand up and leave the class. So, don't be a life furniture ok?'

At that time, i only remember that whole class laughed and laughed non-stop. It sounds funny, but , it is ironically... What she had said is a truth... We are undergraduates, why we all only know to bow our head when the teacher asks the questions?

This is really a problem that our country is facing now and also in the future... Some actions should be taken to overcome this problem.... The education system in our country is "spoon-feed' system... Students are trained to learn anything given by the teacher or listed in the textbooks. We study only for preparing the exams and we never learn extra things out from the textbooks. We only copy the notes given by the teachers and accept every words said by them. We don't know to think, and we never use our brain to think! So, it is very tough to a student to give his own opinion because he never learn to think!

So...what we can do as a student to not become a part of the furniture in the class?

That is learn to think and learn to speak!!
