  • How to change education from the ground up

    Here are some excerpts from a recent talk (published July 18, 2013) by Sir Ken Robinson. Wanting it or not, this speech made me think about our new, ridiculous national curriculum, composed by the government “up there”, untouched by the actors of education themselves: teachers and learners – and how we can actually change them…

    Several months ago I posted about bicycle line, intrigued by a documentary video about How the Dutch Got Their Cycle Path.

  • I wish these trees could stay…

    The story of Babakan Siliwangi Forest Walk goes a long way back, although the Forest Walk itself has been around for only less than three months. I won’t go in length here to tell the story, but anyone living in Bandung knows that Babakan Siliwangi (Baksil) has become one of the most disputable areas in…

  • Bicycle Line: Repeating Mistakes?

    As a person who has spent about ten years living in The Netherlands, and as a believer in all the goodness of a bicycle, I got intrigued when an acquaintance posted a link at Twitter to a YouTube video about How The Dutch Got Their Cycle Path. The video tells the history about how, in…

  • Ibu-ibu Kita Masih Melahirkan Pejuang

    Ungkapan tersebut tentu sudah akrab bagi kita yang pernah membaca atau mendengar mengenai Indonesia Mengajar, termasuk saya sendiri.
