aat berbicara tentang kenakalan dan perilaku buruk pelajar sekolah, kita bisa menggunakan "Iceberg Analogy", yaitu menyamakan perilaku pelajar dengan sebuah gunung es di lautan. Di balik kenakalan atau buruknya perilaku yang tampak di permukaan, ada latar belakang yang menjadi dasar mengapa seorang pelajar memilih untuk berperilaku buruk. Di sanalah, seringkali terdapat masalah yang jauh lebih kompleks daripada yang tampak di permukaan.

ikap dan perilaku pelajar pasti dilatar-belakangi oleh motivasi tertentu. Sebagai contoh, jika seorang pelajar memiliki keyakinan bahwa dia akan lulus apabila rajin belajar, keyakinan itu akan membawanya ke dalam perilaku rajin belajar. Sebaliknya, jika pelajar tersebut beranggapan bahwa dia tidak akan lulus meskipun belajar, atau dia pasti lulus meskipun tidak belajar, maka bisa dipastikan perilaku yang akan dia pilih adalah tidak belajar.

Tujuan di Balik Kenakalan Anak Didik

Rudolf Dreikurs, pendiri dan pimpinan the Community Child Guidance Center of Chicago, berpendapat bahwa "seorang anak dengan perilaku bermasalah adalah anak yang kehilangan rasa percaya diri." Menurut Dreikurs, perilaku buruk pada anak didik disebabkan oleh adanya pemikiran yang salah bahwa dia merasa tidak menjadi bagian dalam kelompok, dan merasa keberadaannya tidak berarti.

Dalam usahanya untuk menemukan "tempat" dan makna eksistensi diri, pemikiran yang salah akan membawanya ke dalam sikap dan perilaku yang salah. Karena itu, sikap dan perilaku yang dipilihnya justru menimbulkan reaksi atau tanggapan yang berlawanan dengan apa yang diinginkannya. Ketika dia ingin menemukan "tempat" serta makna keberadaan diri, perilakunya yang salah justru menimbulkan reaksi penolakan dari orang lain, termasuk guru dan siswa lainnya.

Dalam konsepnya yang disebut Positive Discipline, Dreikurs mengidentifikasi bahwa ada 4 (empat) tujuan atau sasaran di balik kenakalan anak didik, yaitu perhatian, kekuasaan, balas dendam, dan keputus-asaan. Sebagai kompensasi terhadap kegagalan dalam pencarian jati diri, seorang anak akan berusaha mewujudkan keempat hal itu dalam berbagai perilaku yang buruk seperti, usil, suka mengganggu, kasar, semena-mena, suka mencari keributan dan berkelahi, memberontak dan tidak taat pada guru, hingga malas dan tidak mau belajar.

Bantulah, Jangan Sekedar Menghukum

Dengan memahami bahwa kenakalan pelajar hanyalah dampak dari pemikiran dan motivasi yang salah dalam menyikapi kegagalan pencarian jati diri, masihkah kita meyakini bahwa hukuman adalah cara efektif dalam menangani kenakalan pelajar? Hukuman seringkali hanya bersifat memaksakan perubahan perilaku, dan hampir tidak membantu anak didik untuk menemukan apa yang sedang dia cari, yaitu tempat dan makna eksistensi dirinya. Dalam banyak kasus, hukuman bahkan hanya memperparah kekecewaan dan keputus-asaan siswa terhadap sekolah.

Budaya suka menghukum dapat memperburuk kepercayaan anak didik kepada sekolah. Seorang pelajar yang melakukan pelanggaran dan merasa yakin akan dikenai hukuman cenderung untuk berbohong dan menuduh pihak lain sebagai penyebab. Sebaliknya, ketika dia merasa yakin bahwa dia akan dibantu atau dibimbing agar bisa menghentikan perilaku buruknya, maka dia akan jujur dan terbuka tentang latar belakang masalah yang sebenarnya. Hanya ketika anak didik jujur dan terbuka tentang masalah yang sedang dia alami, solusi efektif terhadap permasalahan yang sebenarnya akan bisa dicapai.

Hukuman dengan berbagai bentuknya, termasuk skorsing, mungkin bisa mengubah perilaku, tapi belum tentu mampu menyentuh kesadaran anak didik dan mengubah motivasi mereka ke arah yang positif. Hukuman harus disertai dengan tindakan korektif, termasuk konseling, untuk mengubah pemikiran yang keliru, dan mengarahkan mereka ke dalam pemikiran positif. Pemikiran yang positif akan menghasilkan motivasi yang baik dan secara otomatis akan mendorong pelajar untuk selalu berperilaku baik.

Bimbingan dan konseling yang tepat mampu mengeksplorasi dan menampung pemikiran serta perasaan anak didik, dan memberi peluang besar untuk membantu anak didik dalam memenuhi kebutuhannya terhadap tempat dan pengakuan eksistensi diri. Di sanalah kita bisa membantu siswa bermasalah untuk mengatasi permasalahan yang dialaminya. Ketika seorang anak sudah merasa nyaman dan menemukan tempat bagi dirinya, perilaku buruknya bisa dipastikan tidak akan timbul kembali.

Karena itu, persepsi bahwa setiap pelanggaran wajib dikenai hukuman harus dihilangkan dari dunia pendidikan, terutama sekolah. Pelajar bermasalah lebih membutuhkan bimbingan dan pertolongan daripada sekedar hukuman. Kita harus selalu ingat bahwa kenakalan pelajar timbul dari kegagalan mereka menemukan tempat dan makna bagi keberadaan dirinya. Pesan mereka sebenarnya jelas, bahwa mereka hanyalah anak-anak yang ingin menemukan tempat yang nyaman dimana keberadaan mereka diakui dan menjadi berarti.

uatu pagi, ketika Ujian Sekolah Produktif untuk pelajar kelas XII SMK akan segera dimulai, seorang siswi tidak diperbolehkan memasuki gerbang sekolah karena seragam yang dikenakannya salah. Dia mengenakan baju Pramuka, lupa bahwa sehari sebelumnya telah ada pemberitahuan bahwa hari itu seluruh siswa harus mengenakan baju batik.

Dengan alasan penegakan disiplin sekolah, dia diharuskan pulang dan berganti baju. Meskipun sudah mencoba bernegosiasi, dia tetap tidak berhasil mendapatkan ijin masuk dan mengikuti ujian. Sedangkan Ayahnya yang mengantarnya ke sekolah sudah berangkat bekerja dan tidak mungkin kembali mengantarkannya pulang. Jika harus naik angkutan umum, dia harus berganti kendaraan sebanyak 3 kali untuk mencapai rumahnya yang berjarak kurang-lebih 7 kilometer dari sekolah. Praktis, konsekuensi penegakan disiplin yang harus diterimanya adalah tidak bisa mengikuti ujian hari itu karena ujian akan segera dimulai.

Karena keinginannya yang besar untuk bisa mengikuti ujian, siswi tersebut memilih tidak pulang dan menunggu di depan pintu gerbang hingga ujian selesai. Dia tidak tahu apa yang harus dilakukannya selain berdiri di depan gerbang sekolah. Beruntung, setelah beberapa saat berdiri di depan pintu gerbang sekolah, seorang Guru yang lain mengijinkannya masuk dan mengikuti ujian. Meskipun pada akhirnya siswi tersebut diijinkan masuk sekolah, ada beberapa hal yang cukup membuat kita prihatin dengan kejadian tersebut.

Berikan Tindakan Korektif Secara Wajar, Proporsional, dan Mendidik.

Kesalahan memakai seragam umumnya bukanlah hal yang sengaja dilakukan oleh seorang siswa. Pasti ada alasan lain misalnya lupa, tidak memiliki seragam, atau seragam yang harus dikenakan tiba-tiba hilang atau sedang dicuci. Mereka justru akan merasa malu jika harus seorang diri mengenakan seragam yang berbeda dengan siswa lainnya.

Karena itu, sebelum menentukan sanksi atau tindakan korektif yang akan diberikan, akan terasa lebih bijak jika kita bersedia mencari tahu apa penyebabnya. Apakah disengaja atau tidak? Dari situ, kita bisa menentukan tindakan korektif terbaik yang harus diberikan terhadap pelanggaran tersebut.

Begitu juga dalam menangani kasus siswa yang terlambat. Tidak semua keterlambatan siswa disebabkan oleh kelalaian atau ketidak disiplinan mereka, kecuali jika terjadi secara terus-menerus. Acapkali keterlambatan siswa disebabkan oleh hal-hal diluar kekuasaan mereka, seperti kemacetan, kecelakaan, harus melakukan suatu kewajiban, atau diminta membantu guru lain. Haruskah kita sebagai para pendidik menghukum seorang siswa yang terlambat datang ke sekolah karena dia harus menolong seorang korban kecelakaan di jalan? Jika memang demikian, hati nurani siapa yang lebih hidup, dan hati nurani siapa yang sudah mati?

Hargailah Kepentingan dan Hak Anak Didik

Sekolah seharusnya menjadi tempat mendidik yang nyaman, bukan tempat yang penuh ancaman dan menakutkan. Setiap pelanggaran harus disikapi dengan bijak, dan diberikan tindakan korektif yang mendidik, bukan sekedar hukuman yang menghukum. Seburuk apapun sikap dan perilaku siswa, mereka adalah individu yang harus kita hargai dan berhak mendapatkan pendidikan.

Melarang siswa masuk kelas atau sekolah hanya karena salah seragam atau terlambat 5-10 menit seringkali bukanlah tindakan korektif yang terbaik dan tepat. Ketika anak didik lebih suka melakukan kegiatan lain daripada mengikuti kegiatan belajar di sekolah, maka larangan masuk kelas atau masuk sekolah tidak memiliki muatan pendidikan apapun selain sekedar "hukuman". Sedangkan efek jera yang diharapkan juga tidak tercapai.

Di satu sisi, larangan masuk kelas atau masuk sekolah juga akan menghilangkan kesempatan anak didik untuk mengikuti kegiatan di sekolah. Demi penegakan disiplin, hak mereka untuk mendapatkan pendidikan tidak terpenuhi. "Niat" untuk datang ke kelas atau sekolah pun menjadi seperti tidak dihargai, padahal itu masih jauh lebih baik daripada membolos dengan berbagai macam alasan.

Bukankah masih banyak tindakan korektif yang bisa dilakukan tanpa harus merugikan kepentingan dan hak anak didik? Di beberapa negara lain, siswa yang terlambat atau salah seragam tidak disuruh pulang. Pelanggaran yang dilakukan oleh siswa ditangani di dalam lingkup sekolah sebagai bukti bahwa pihak sekolah mampu memberikan penanganan dan solusi, kecuali jika memang memerlukan penanganan lanjutan dari pihak berwenang di luar sekolah. Orang-tua pun tidak selalu harus tahu, kecuali jika penanganan masalah membutuhkan kerja-sama dengan pihak orang-tua.

Jika suatu pelanggaran dilakukan terus-menerus atau semakin memburuk, pendekatan konsultatif akan diberikan, bukan tindakan represif, bukan hukuman. Siswa akan diberitahu tentang konsekuensi dan kerugian akibat pelanggaran mereka. Siswa benar-benar diperlakukan sebagai individu yang juga harus dihargai. Ketika konsultasi telah menyentuh akar penyebab pelanggaran hingga menghasilkan solusi, bisa dipastikan pelanggaran itu tidak akan terulang. Dengan demikian, secara tidak langsung siswa sudah dididik agar selalu penuh pertimbangan dan tidak terlalu kaku dalam menghadapi suatu permasalahan, serta senantiasa mendengarkan hati nurani dan menghargai orang lain.

Akan tetapi, larangan masuk masih menjadi tindakan yang cenderung dipilih oleh para pendidik di negara kita. Mungkin karena tindakan itu paling praktis dan paling mudah untuk diberikan, tanpa harus repot-repot melakukan pendekatan konsultatif, serta mengesankan sikap "tegas" dalam menegakkan peraturan dan disiplin sekolah. Tidak akan ada siswa terlambat atau salah seragam, mungkin karena mereka takut dan lebih memilih untuk membolos daripada harus menghadapi hukuman. Sekolah pun akan menjadi "seperti yang diharapkan", tak ubahnya barak militer yang menjunjung tinggi kedisiplinan dan keselarasan, tanpa menyisakan ruang bagi hati nurani dalam menindak pelaku pelanggaran. Seperti itukah yang kita harapkan?

Peraturan memang harus dipatuhi, dan disiplin juga harus ditegakkan. Namun ketika penegakan disiplin dilakukan dengan mengesampingkan hati nurani, maka paradigma pendidikan karakter dan budi pekerti hanya akan menjadi sebuah ironi.
