The position of teacher and students in the class is different. But in this thing , I want you to know that teacher is not a God. You may not to admire them. Because of teacher can not make you be success, except of your will. The students position must look for the knowledge by their self. But the problem in all of school is almost same. Mathematic lesson in the class really make students bored. Because of it, let us make the mathematic lesson be unique. If we give the mathematic lesson be curious , they will seek the answer. In this thing, teachers have to be a creative person. They have to do more creative to make change in mathematic lesson. I thought the education of Indonesia not direct to the modern education or modern method. But the education of Indonesia still use the traditional method. So, we can see the education in Indonesia is never moving. Teachers role dominant in this thing. Actually , teachers only to be facilitator. Owned confuse teachers when they teach was not the simple problem. They teach mathematic well, but better to make discipline learning to students to learn by their self. Because the knowledge that we look for by our self is the most we remember than the transfer knowledge. Transfer knowledge can make the students be lazy, don’t have concentration , the teachers always talk so that the students can not think and seek the information. It make the memory of students is low. This is the effect of the traditional method. There are 2 methods which always we use in learning.
a)    Need → Trust → To facilitate → Construct→ Invent → Own life → own knowledge

b)    Explain → Skill → Knowledge → Attitude → Will → Transfer knowledge
Both of this method use in schools and in college, but the (b) method more using than (a). why teacher use the (b) method, this is because of they don’t believe with their students. That’s why the teachers use the (b) method will only get the results of children who just can count shortly. While the (a) method, only a few are used, because their teachers are taking steps to use this method, it must take a huge risk. Apart from a few students who do not understand, any chatter that disfigure the teacher, but for the future of their students, the teacher anyway. The result was really satisfying. Another innovative method is the use of technology, increasingly sophisticated technology can definitely make the students understand what they need to learn. Digging deep, seek knowledge, solve problems, students need it now, and the most important thing when in university later, they would be entered into formal mathematic.
Here's the chronology of human life:
                




If students grow up like the picture above, as well as their mindset. So in real, thing to do is to prepare students to use when learning method (a). because the students will be unpredictable. but because of the different dimensions of fear, it becomes manifest. Why the students are afraid to speak out? It could be that because of his teacher, his family, and others. Students are forced to understand the compulsion, otherwise they will be punished, scolded, and others. Therefore, students become fearful, why students can not? Because teachers do knowledge transfer, knowledge possessed a mediocre student, makes teachers think should teach all students. The effect when students forget, the teachers were complaining and angry, students become fearful and reluctant to try.

Things to consider teachers to teach the following. (Ebbutt & Staler , 1995) the nature of mathematic
Mathematic
Formal Math    Math school
Axio mathematic     Mathematic is a problem solving activity
Pure Mathematic
                ↓
University level    Mathematic is an investigation activity
Wrong method    Mathematic is the means of communication
Mathematic is searching of pathern and relationship
Right Method

If teachers know where they teach at school or in college and they realize what they should do, definitely very advanced education in Indonesia. Many lessons to be had, so many methods, the theses of teachers do definitely get the best method in their class without doing the above nature. Thank you.
