Studying from home is a kind of government movement or government program that issued in the middle of the corona pandemic which aims to break the chain of the spread of the coronavirus. Not only that, the government also aims to fill the efficient time of student learning so that students don't miss the lessons. The program was took effect on March, 15 2020. The program was directly expressed by the government at Bogor Independence Palace. Not only the movement of Studying from home, there are also other movement like work from home and pray from home. Once again, the three programme were enacted to prevent the transmission of the corona virus and the breaking chain of COVID-19 spread and also supported WHO Movement and policy which is “Physical Distancing or Social Distancing”.

Honestly, the government and minister of education have a good intentions to make a movement or program such like that. At first I felt that this program was very good and very appropriate and also support the entire student in indonesia to keep studying in the middle of corona pandemic even thought they don’t have to go to school. With assignments given and online classes through zoom, I felt that studying from home was effective and also helpful. But lately, I felt this programme is no longer effective since the teacher gave a lot of assignment. And I felt so overburdened with that plus short deadline that given for the assignment. I don't know if I'm the only one who feels that way but clearly giving a lot of assignment is not an effective way to encourage students to study hard and enlighten the student, it just made the student can be stress and also major depression that can disturb the student's mental state. Probably many people including teachers take this as nothing more than a trivial thing and think of the students as simply overreacting in that regard, but it is worth knowing that according to the American College Health Association(ACHA), the suicide rate among the young adults especially teenager is grew by 30% per year and the primary risk factors that have been identified for teen suicide include the following Major depression and traumatic or stressful live event. With that data it might open the eyes of people and teachers that overscheduling is a very wrong way.

In my opinion, there are also a lot of advantage of Studying from home programme. Such as reduce the mortality rate of coronavirus(COVID-19), Break the chain spreading of coronavirus and with that way, we also reduce the risk being infected by COVID-19 and also avoided from that deadly virus. By following the studying from home program, we are indirectly assisting the President in dealing with the corona pandemic. Not only have we helped the government, we have also assisted medical personnel in treating and curing patients infected with the corona virus epidemic. Because the way we stay home, the medics will be more focused on how to deal with the first infected patients and we won't be the ones to increase the Numbers of coronavirus patients. And most important, by staying home and studying from home programs, we have indirectly shown our affection to those closest to us as families and also saved them from the corona virus outbreak and by not increasing the number of positive patients and mortality rates from the corona virus.

Where there's positive, there's negative. Same like this, where there's advantage there's also disadvantage. The following disadvantage of this program, such as student's limitations in studying, teacher's limitations in teaching and also studying  from a home programs that run badly and can be construed as a failure, it happens because there's no cooperation between a minister of education and a teacher. The minister of education directs that studying from home programs should not weigh students down and give sufficient and efficient lessons and assignment. But in fact, in all likelihood, the teacher gives out tasks or assignment without giving material or lessons first, giving out many assignments with a short deadline and even assigning tasks in a way that is highly inefficient and ineffective and highly incriminating to students. It is appropriate for the minister to take into account how much of the teacher's misunderstanding of the program and how it works. The function of assignment or task is to test how misunderstood students are of a material and to motivate students to be more active at study, not to burden students.

My expectations after more than a month of running this program is that I will not be left behind in school, I will be more active in study even if I don't have to study at school, and I will prove that learning from home will not lessen the effectiveness, understanding, and eagerness of learning. And also I hope that the eyes of teachers are open that students are also human and cannot be constantly burdened with the assent of various assignment. And also I hope that this program will work better if there is an error soon to be evaluated and can brighten the lives of nations and create an equalizing of education because of the true study not to be in school, we can learn in the house to achieve our ideals and make both our parents and nations proud.
