To overcome the problem of education quality, the government issued a zoning system policy on New Student Admissions. This study aims to described the implementation of zoning system policies and constraints faced in implemented the new student admission zoning system policy at the junior high school level in Langkat District. This study used a qualitative approach with a case study method. The subjects of this study were the Middle School Curriculum Head, Middle School Curriculum Staff, Head of Elementary Education, Deputy Head of Student Affairs, Deputy Principal The technique of collecting data used observation, interviews, and documentation. The results of the study are as follows: (1) The implementation of the zoning system in the PPDB at the junior high school level in Langkat District has been carried out for two years aimed at equitable distribution of quality education in schools in the Langkat Regency, so far the implementation of the zoning system in Langkat has been effective because the potential of students begins to be evenly distributed in the Langkat Regency. (2) The constraints faced in the implementation of the zoning system are the lack of understanding of the zoning of the socialization of the zoning system because of the different backgrounds of parental   education. Efforts are made to overcome these obstacles, namely  to disseminate the zoning system early as clearly as possible.

Developmental-studies mathematics is the set of skills that students must possess if they are to be sucessful in beginning college-level mathematics. In most colleges and universities, elementary algebra from the secondary school curriculum is a major part of developmental-studies mathematics. Some arithmetic, or some intermediate algebra, or some of both is also commonly included. Although this content is studied by most college-bound students before they enter their last two years of high school, over 60 percent of all students nationally who enter a community college are required to take developmental-studies mathematics (Griffin 1981). Similarly, in many of the larger universities, this statistic is over 50 percent (Whitesitt 1982).

One of my favorite far side cartoons features Rex the Wonder Dog. Rex is shown balancing an elaborate array of objects while traversing a tightrope on a unicycle. The caption reads, “High above the hushed crowd, Rex tried to remain focused. Still, he couldn't shake one nagging thought: He was an old dog and this was a new trick.” Maybe that cartoon speaks to you the way it does to me. As one of the developers of the middle-grades curriculum Mathematics in Context (MiC), one of the Standardsbased middle school curriculum projects funded by the National Science Foundation, I have used that cartoon many times to describe to teachers, young and old, how it might feel to be a teacher who is about to implement a mathematics curriculum such as MiC. I can usually tell from the nervous laughter that although they might not be old, they recognize that the new Standards-based curricula will require them as teachers to learn “new tricks.”
