kevoh: One does not even know who to blame anymore? It is really pathetic!

ferdimako:
Who allowed you to mark?....oh the same thing!

FrancisTony:


...actually, you need to be fixing correct words beside it. So, what happened to the professor or you mean to say it is spelt as 'Proffessor'?.

papindinho: Exactly bro. Do we blame it on the government as a result of the poor handling of the educational sector? Or the students for being way too lazy to do their primary assignments? Or laxity among teachers which paints them as a dissatisfied workforce? Or we blame corruption that has eaten deep to the fabric of our dear nation?

Urrgh!

§Cross¤:


Don't wash your dirty linen in public. The sentence read "a lot of professor". Does that sound right to you?

Incase it does, "professors" is the appropriate word.

It can be crammed. Btw, grammatical flaws ain't penalised in Economics.

ferdimako:

FrancisTony:


*Sigh* He marked Economics not English, Mr. English professor!

Btw, some of the words you cancelled ain't wrong. You don't even know what you're doing. Smh!

FrancisTony:

Dude, google the idiom you used and tell me if it fits in your sentence.

FrancisTony:

It should be corruption. Most of the teachers we have in Nigeria don't have the zeal to teach. They took teaching as an alternative to survive since they couldn't get a good job in a field they were trained on. Teachers are not paid well in this our country. So, you don't expect someone who has passion for it but got a lucrative job waiting for him/her to accept the profession of teaching.

§Cross¤:


I beg to differ . Picture this "Economies is define as the science that can studies behaviour as a relationships between ends and scarce means which have alternative use"

How does that sound? Now imagine a whole script is riddled with errors. What do you think will happen?

papindinho: yet we have to trace that to their employers. Do we say their employer (government) has no good screening system? Or we say they leave the teachers to do what they feel like after recruitment?

Teachers are humans so we should expect some evasive scented behaviours from them.

Mazi_Omenuko:

There's no way to help a student with an empty script! There are those WAEC employs to cross-check the scripts submitted by the markers. How u wan help someone that submitted an empty script? Will you fill the answers for him and then mark it?

FrancisTony:

Okay! Do you mind re-checking my post? I said "it can be crammed".

papindinho: Exactly bro. Do we blame it on the government as a result of the poor handling of the educational sector? Or the students for being way too lazy to do their primary assignments? Or laxity among teachers which paints them as a dissatisfied workforce? Or we blame corruption that has eaten deep to the fabric of our dear nation?

Urrgh!

Dude who cares about cramming?!! My only issue was when you said grammatical blunders aren't penalized in economics

We all go wrong sometimes but we should be man enough to admit and move on.

You're just trying to save face and it's not working

under_over:
So, u be teacher? Omo Alabi

FrancisTony:

Okay! I accept that I was wrong. Thanks. Are you now happy?

3coins: with all due respect to the op...i find it very sad and pathetic that someone with a not too strong command of English like op is marking waec scripts....

FrancisTony:

The problem is salary.
Public schools in Nigeria usually employ teachers that graduated from college of Education. How do you expect candidate that got below 160 in jamb to do well in teaching profession?. If teaching job is lucrative, we will have the best teachers and our C.O.E will be competitive. Even in our Universities, education courses have a lower cutoff that other course. Smh

rkarang:

Exactly, that was what I wanted to do. His post doesn't make any difference.

When are we going to stop the idea of condemning students? Why can't we find lasting solutions to the problems of those students?

It's high time we recognized that students have different levels of understanding. The method that works for A may not work for B. Therefore, we should try to understand these students & not browbeating them.



Dear OP,

Please stop the condemnation; let's help these students in our own little way.

They can also learn but they need monitoring; i.e. someone who's going to monitor their progress. They want you to encourage and convince them.

Finally, you can bring out the best in them.


Thanks

juwoonn:
Tell waec to go and hire English professors to mark all subjects.
Oloshi!

See. I had C6 in English language when I wrote WAEC some 15 years ago. BUT the joy of it is I wrote my WAEC once. And I had Msc and Bsc in Economics and NOT English Language. So STFU

3coins:
kill yourself by eating all the papers you marked...iidiot

papindinho: the pay-check is still a crucial motivating part of being gainfully employed yet we will still have dissatisfied workers amidst lucrative pays

juwoonn:
Sorry bro.
I don't like trouble at all.
Forgive me, if you feel offended.

juwoonn:
I marked Economics and not English Language bcs I am an Economist.
If you studied linguistic in school and we speak at the same level then you are a disgrace to your profession.
For your information every subject has its own terminology. And that's why some people have distinctions in eight subjects and fail English Language.
Olodo....
