making school software in Jakarta

Teams that “make school software” usually underestimate the holiday master, mid-year joiners, two-guardian contacts, and publish gates.

A CRUD app for students is not a school system. The system is the handoff: applicant becomes roster row becomes fee account becomes attendance denominator. Jakarta still has to do this against Kurikulum Merdeka, Dinas Pendidikan DKI, Cambridge, IB. July-ish national year for many schools; international campuses may overlay a northern calendar on the same staff. Named facts: Kurikulum Merdeka, Dinas Pendidikan DKI, Rupiah, PPN.

Rupiah tuition with PPN on eligible items; do not bury tax in a round number. Named facts: Kurikulum Merdeka, Dinas Pendidikan DKI, Rupiah, PPN. Named owners still have to keep the holiday master, the roster, and the family view aligned in this place, because a brochure paragraph will not survive the first mid-year joiner or the first board week.

Hard-coding Monday–Friday.
One email field per family.
Claiming a general ledger you did not build.

Model working days, not weekdays

Questions

Can a college intern build this in a summer? They can build a list of names. They will not finish fee proration, two guardians, and exam candidate lists.

What about AI generating the SIS? Generators do not own the holiday master. Schools still need named workflows. July-ish national year for many schools; international campuses may overlay a northern calendar on the same staff.
