"After read the article above, I realized that the students of Elementary School can also specify a curriculum that is suitable for them. This is supposed to inspire governments, educational experts, and teachers in Indonesia. They should be aware that there are students who have different personalities and unique, then the students should also be treated in different ways. Not using the nature of education in Indonesia that contain paradigm "for the same time, different students are required to learn the same lesson, the results should be the same, is the same as those considered by the teacher". A teacher not only facilitates students without knowing what is needed by the student. A teacher must also understand the circumstances and needs of students. Therefore, students should not be the same as those considered by the teacher.

It has been implemented by school in the southeastern city of London. Teacher of 2nd grade at that school said that students involved in curriculum development. Apparently it is very possible because they interpret the curriculum as the school curriculum and level of learning in the classroom. At the school level, prior to the development of the curriculum, there is a special meeting or some kind of need assessment with students, supportive documents about the activities of the student portfolio. Results of the needs assessment that describes the needs of students and then used for the development of the school curriculum.

And the end of every math lesson, the teacher always interviewed the students to find out what type of activities they want from Math Lessons to be held next week. The answer of course a wide range of students, the teacher breaks it down into criteria that may be prepared so that teachers can carry out what is required by the student. Therefore, we need to follow the example of the learning process of elementary schools in the southeastern city of London and hopefully education in Indonesia can be better. Amen."
