PALANGKA RAYA - The Palangka Raya City Education Office, Central Kalimantan, does not prohibit students from playing lato-lato in schools that are currently being played by children. "We still don't need to issue a ban on toy lato-lato in schools in this area," said Head of the Palangka Raya City Education Office, Jayani, quoted from Antara, Wednesday, January 11. It must be admitted, the proliferation of the game has a significant impact. One of them is honing children's motor skills and reducing online game games available on cellphones. "There is a positive side and there is a negative side to the game, hopefully what we always get is good things and we leave the bad things behind," said Jayani. According to him, until now there have been no schools that have submitted complaints about the lato-lato game. Schools that feel disturbed by the late-lato game are welcome to prohibit their students from bringing the game to school. Although there is no prohibition, students are not advised to play in class because it interferes with the teaching and learning process. "I urge you not to play lato-lato in class, I'm afraid it can interfere with students who are carrying out the teaching and learning process and so on," he said. Jayani added that the lato-lato game must of course be monitored by adults. Because, if the game is misused, it can be dangerous for those who play.
