Student Orientation Program (Muhlis)

Student Orientation or commonly we said as MOS (Masa Orientasi Siswa) is a period of time at the beginning of the academic year at a university,  senior hight school,  and junior high school. MOS is a program to introduce new students to the school's enviroment such as school structure, school culture, and teacher. The point is to make us as a student to enjoy our new school. MOS has been introduced by the Department of Education as a program to make a new student adapt with his school. But practically, MOS in indonesia is not normal anymore and it should be changed.

There are several reasons why the MOS should be changed. First, because MOS promotes violence not character building. Probably both teachers and seniors seriuously stop this kind of psychological torture. It is better that the program changes it into a much more educated to the juniors and creates their creativity. Through those things, students will be tought how to become a creative one that are fundamental for our young generations not for a useless things.

Second, MOS only create a seniority in the school. Some of the schools still implement it because it is like inheritance though, how the senior students remember the way their previous senior students treating them and perhaps they've already planned a revenge to the new students. Thus, it seems to be continously happened for a negative aspect of the old system of student orientation.

Last, MOS in Indonesia is merely for making fun out of the new students, nothing more. How could be a ridicoulous thing happened during MOS for intance, to make a nametag, which usually the ingredients is hard to find. It is only spend more money, on searching it, bringing a strange-name-vegetable, buying a flower or chocolate for fucking senior, and asking for a signature. All these things should be stopped as soon as possible because it was horrible examination for a new students and the impact is a revenge.

To sump up, the Student Orintation Program is not good anymore. Only some schools conducted MOS as effective as they thought. If they want to create a better human resources, change the program. But if they don't, our country's development will be stagnan and the essence of MOS itself will lose and fade
