84. TEACHER RESPONSIBILIES

Guru dan dosen adalah manager ilmu dan keterampilan, mereka memiliki tempat terhormat di tengah masyarakat, mereka membawa pelita penerang bagi generasi selanjutnya, harapan masyarakat kepada para guru dan dosen bukan hanya sebatas agen ilmu dan keterampilan, zaman sekarang banyak orang pandai begitu, banyak orang bisa mengajar, namun sedikit sekali guru atau dosen yang mampu menjadi uswah hasanah (teladan yang baik). Orang jawa sering mengartikan kata guru, sebagai singkatan dari digugu dan ditiru. Digugu berarti diikuti segala perkataannya), dan ditiru berarti tingkah laku sehari-harinya akan menjadi panutan masyarakat luas. Jadi seorang guru harus memiliki wawasan keilmuan yang luas dan harus memiliki tingkah laku yang baik, karena keteladanan hidup sehari-hari juga akan ditiru oleh masyarakat luas. Zaman sekarang seorang guru atau dosen harus memiliki sertifikasi, sebagai bukti bahwa seorang guru atau dosen sudah memikili persyaratan-persyaratan yang memadai. Guru dan dosen yang telah memilki sertifikat professional menyandang tanggung jawab yang amat

Berikut ini adalah rangkuman tanggung jawab guru dari berbagai sumber baik dari buku maupun dari internet.
• Bersyukur pada Allah SWT.
• Ingat amanah Allah SWT
• Mau mengajar dan mau menjadi “uswah hasanah”
• Guru dan dosen yang telah memperoleh sertifikasi professional menyandang tanggung jawab yang amat berat yaitu harus mampu mendongkrak mutu pendidikan nasional yang sampai pada saat ini masih berada di leverl rendah.
• Sertifikat sebagai guru profesional harus dibuktikan dengan kerja yang professional (syaiful64.wordpress.com)
• Gaji yang banyak (tambahan satu kali lipat gaji pokok) harus diimbangi dengan etos kerja yang sepadan.
• Gaji yang besar bertujuan agar tidak mendua ketika melaksanakan pekerjaannya, atau jangan sampai profesi guru justeru dianak tirikan.
• Kenaikan gaji 100% sebaiknya diimbangi dengan 100% peningkatan peningktan kompetensi, dedikasi,dan prestasi. (syaiful64.wordpress.com)
• Syarat menyandang sebagai guru professional itu sangat berat, misalnya memiliki bakat, minat, panggilan jiwa, dan idealisme, memiliki komitmen untuk meningkatkan mutu pendidikan, keimanan, ketaqwaan, akhlak mulia, memilikin kualifikasi akademik, latar belakang pendidikan sesuai dengan bidang tugas, memiliki kompetensi yang diperlukan sesuai bidang tugas, dan bertanggung jawab atas pelaksanaan tugas keprofesionalannya. (syaiful64.wordpress.com)
• Guru dan dosen sebagai tenaga professional bertujuan untuk : melaksanakan system pendidikan nasional dan melaksanakan tujuan pendidikan nasional yaitu berkembangnya potensi peserta didik agar menjadi manusia yang beriman dan bertaqwa kepada Allah SWT berakhlak mulia, sehat jasmani rohani, berilmu tinggi, cakap, kreatif, setia menjadi warga negara serta bertanggung jawab atas tujuan Pendidikan Nasional.
• Historically, teachers have been viewed as purveyors of content knowledge and academic skills, but teachers in the early twenty-first century have also become ambassadors to multicultural communities and promulgators of democracy. (Secara historis, guru telah dipandang sebagai pemasok konten pengetahuan dan keterampilan akademik, tetapi guru-guru di awal abad dua puluh satu juga telah menjadi duta besar multikultural promulgators masyarakat dan demokrasi). (education.stateuniversity.com)
• Conventionally viewed as dispensers of knowledge, teachers are increasingly perceived as facilitators or managers of knowledge. Dispenser konvensional dipandang sebagai pengetahuan, guru semakin dianggap sebagai fasilitator atau manajer pengetahuan. (education.stateuniversity.com)
• Tanggung jawab para guru dan unsur pendidikan lainnya bukan hanya sekedar mengajar atau memajukan dunia pendidikan di sekolah tempatnya bertugas, tetapi juga bertanggung jawab untuk mengajak masyarakat di sekitarnya masing-masing agar ikut berpartisipasi dalam memajukan dunia pendidikan di wilayahnya. (banjarkab.go.id).
• Menjalankan tugas guru dengan sebaik-baiknya yang disertai dengan keikhlasan hati dalam mengemban amanah yang diberikan.
• Seorang guru bertanggung jaweab untuk terus giat belajar agar berpengetahuan luas, menguasai IT, sebab kalau tidak justeru akan ketinggalan informasi oleh para siswanya, sebagaimana dijelaskan dalam education.stateuniversity.com: Few modern teachers would try to claim intellectual hegemony in the classroom; such a claim would not stand the challenge of increasingly sophisticated students. There is too much to know and too many sources of knowledge outside the classroom that can easily be brought to bear within school walls by students themselves. (Hanya sedikit guru modern akan mencoba mengklaim hegemoni intelektual di dalam kelas; klaim seperti itu tidak akan tahan dengan tantangan yang semakin canggih siswa. Ada terlalu banyak untuk mengetahui dan terlalu banyak sumber pengetahuan di luar kelas yang dapat dengan mudah dibawa untuk menanggung dalam dinding sekolah oleh siswa sendiri).
• Seorang guru harus mampu mengajarkan ilmu dan mengajarkan bagaimana memanfaatkannya, sebagaiamana dijelaskan dalam education.stateuniversity.com : Teachers teach, of course, but they do not simply dispense information to their students. Teachers are also intellectual leaders who create opportunities for students to demonstrate what they know and what they know how to do. (Guru mengajar, tentu saja, tapi mereka tidak hanya membagikan informasi kepada siswa. Guru juga pemimpin intelektual yang menciptakan kesempatan bagi siswa untuk menunjukkan apa yang mereka ketahui dan apa yang mereka tahu bagaimana melakukannya.

Michael Jackson was born August 29, 1958 as the eight of ten children in Gary, Indiana, an industrial suburb of Chicago, to an Affrican working class family. His Mother, Katherine Esther Scruse, was a devout Jehovah's Witness, and his father, joseph Walter "Joe" Jackson, a steel mill worker who performed with an R&B band called The Falcons. Jackson had three sisters: Rebbie, La Toya, and Janet, and six brothers: Jackie, Tito, Jermaine, Marlon, Brandon (Marlon's twin brother, who died shortly after birth) and Randy.

Michael Jackson first spoke openly about his childhood abuse in an interview with oprah Winfrey broadcast on Pebruary 10, 1993 live from around the world. He admited that he had often cried from loneliness and would sometimes even vomit when he saw his father. In an interview with Martin Bashir, later included in the 2003 broadcast of living with Michael Jackson, Michael Jackson acknowledged that his father hurt him when he was child, but was nonetheless a "genius". When Bshir dismissed the positive remark and continued asking about beating, Jackson put his hand over his face and objected to the questions. He recalled that Michael Joseph sat in a chair with a belt in his hand as he and his siblings rehearsed, and that if you didn't do it the right way, he would tear you up, really get you.

He showed talent early in his life, performing in front of classmates during a Christmas recital in kindergarten. In 1964, he and Marlon joined the Jackson 5- a band formed by brothers Jackie,
Tito, Jermaine as backup musicians playing congas and tambourine. Jackson later began performing backup vocals and dancing: at the age of eight, he and Jermaine assumed lead vocals, and the group's name whas changed to the Jackson 5. The band toured the Midwest extensively from 1966 to 1968, frequently performing at a string of black clubs known aas the citlin circuit, where the often opened stripteases and other adult acts. In 1966, they won a major talent show with renditions of Motown hits and James Brown's "I Got You (I feeel ood)" led by Michael.
