FrancisTony:

Dude, get a life since you can't comprehend the point OP made.

I weep for your 'like'.

OP, didn't write that he's an english teacher. He never cricticised their english but he was only complaining about the poor performance in Economics. It's a pity you're daft to figure it out.

It's better to keep shut when intelligent mind are discussing than to be displaying your astute stupidity.

Guess I am done with you.

3coins:
i am sorry too bro

SirAweezy:

Honestly your height of Stupidity is so un-comprehensible.. When we are trying to condemn tribalism, educate our people on religious differences and try to move forward as one nation, by upholding a strong unity amongst us...

You are here spewing trash! I doubt if people like you move forward... it will be so impossible to because of your deluded mentality.

Please don't ever come out and give advice on how Nigeria will grow.. It's obvious you are not growing! Rubbish!!!

FrancisTony:

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

blakky97: I served in Ogun state. When I was posted to a school, I felt I had to do a little brush-up on my O'level. I attended UPSS in Benin city ( those who know the school will know what I'm talking about) so I had the impression that teaching senior secondary school students will be a challenge to any corp member. So I held fast to my most comfortable zone- maths and fmaths. No physics! No chemistry!
Mehn! When I started teaching! Omg! The best students in the class (ss2 and 3) would not pass the jss2 promotioÈ
n exams in upss. Ss2 students could not solve addition of fractions!
But my pride is in the fact that by the time I was leaving, I had transformed the lives of 60 percent of my students. I started from arithmetic till we got to a stage where 50-60 percent of the students could solve quadratic equations by cmpleting the square method, draw inequality graphs, they answered questions I lifted from engineering maths on logarithms.
Each time I came to class- I was filled with the joy of seeing my students- my projects! I organized free lectures for them, motivated them with gifts.
When I was going, the school gave me a micro wave oven. But that means nothing to me compared to the 2 ghana must go bags that was filled with wrapped glass cups, spoons, and plates the students gave me. Even their maths teacher became jealous. The students still call me on phone till today. Even their cult students bowed their heads to greet me whenever they saw me passing. NYSC made the most fulfilling year in my entire life. That was when I realised another source of happiness. That is to make a positive change in peoples lives- it worths more than gold and silver. If I ever get a chance, I'll do it again!

Peppyluv: Achebe, Dora,PN okeke, soludo and co also did wuruwuru?
Coming from a northerner
As one who have taught in the north and now a lecturer education lege of education,I can tell you with all sincerity that the north is a failure in terms of education but of course they will always pass because after marking and submitting your result as a lecturer,what you submitted is not what you see on the notice board. I guess its a ghost that changes it.
If students from other tribes are caught in malpractice,they face panel but the northerners don't especially women. Some write on their hijab,some on their baby's body! Yes!you heard that! On the baby's body,some use phone,goggle is their friend. Inspite of all these,they submit rubbish on your table. The school had to ban women from bringing in babies into the exam hall.

This waec malpractice goes on in every state but you people's hatred and envy for Igbos will only make you pick on one tribe.
Juwoonn you were one of those so pained since the day it appeared on nl that Anambra came 1st in Waec. That is the reason for this thread. Just like babymama asked,how sure are we that you are not lying and what made you qualified to mark waec?
My cousin served in maun,in ikpokia local govt area of ogun state. Infact, they(corp members) write for some of the students because even if you write on the black board,many of them still won't write correctly. They can't speak English but yoruba.
Jealousy and envy is all I smell on this thread. The Igbos will continue to excel and nothing will stop them.

juwoonn:
I forgot to mention that. Almost everybody in a center writes the same thing, in fact a candidate forgot the photocopy of one of the answers in his/her booklet (teacher involved malpractice) and another forgot a page of the keypoint in the booklet. The education sector is really deteriorating by the year.

zicoraads: Am really gutted I didn't see this thread when it started. I also supervised the marking of some English scripts and to say it was pathetic is understating it. A school in Warri, Delta state I think.

No one scored upto 20/100. That is how bad our educational sector has become. The OP is on point. Besides, marking Economics do not require an excellent command of English Language.

juwoonn:
This is a bloody lie...
Only graduates, masters holders and higher qualifications marks WAEC.

juwoonn: As we conclude this year's June/July WAEC marking, I cry for the future of these students.
I marked 645 scripts in Economics for some Onitsha schools and only 2 candidates scored above 40/80 in paper2. One scored 45 and the other 48 while more than 80% scored below 20. Some 2/80, 1/80 despite my simple marking. Honestly like 3 candidates wrote only "PLEASE HELP ME" in their answer booklets.

One thing I noticed is that all the centers I marked are public school centers. What has gone wrong with our public schools?

A lot of professors in Nigeria today were products of public schools, our president and most Governors are products of public schools, but why have they taken their children abroad, to private schools and destroy the public schools for the less privileged.

ferdimako:
Haha....how did you do it? You blame teachers that are not qualified... or the qualified ones that don't want to teach any more?

Odunharry:
and this..

pwettyolly:
You started your response well but failed to deliver your message towards the end I suppose has a lecturer that you are what you ought to be after is how the quality of education will improve not you encouraging tribalism I believe you are more learned than the others and you ought to use this platform to correct them



Let be the change we want to see in the world

Mad Cow:

What Tha Fhuck are you people on about?!


What ways are there to air grieviances?!

Who says this is even a grieviance? The dude simply posted an observation about what he witnessed.

How many students fail Junior WAEC?


Madam, make una drex go far. Poorly educated students are failing WAEC and you are talking about ways to air grieviance.

3coins:
cn i help you?

ferdimako:
Parents that abandoned school...never worked hard to pass exams on their own? You are different. Kudos! I was there for my brother, taught him English and Maths..he did the other four himself..he never did May/June...Nov/Dec after SS2. Once he cleared his papers, parents and people started begging me and him to do the exams for their children.The same problem is in the university. Many students beg and pay to have their courses sorted out.

We need to overhaul our systems and improve on the common language of teaching.

vainfairy:

U r still braggin, but u & ur parents do well!! For guidin & tutorin u properly, & 4u passin it down 2ur forthcumin generation!! Chop knuckle, abegi!!

okpara ugo:

I didn't even see your reply before stating mine.

Parents are to blame.

oladapolif: why dem go pass now, when all they know is Garri shop and sell spare part? tell me?

infogenius:

Ok, accepted, maybe quite a number of so called parents were truants and possibly abandoned school
but that does not take away the fact that the greater time these children spend is at home
and in some cases especially weekends they spend with us.
If a parent is not visionary, then their children have a long long way to go.

I am not against overhauling the teaching systems or methods or whatever,
the teachers spends approximately 2hrs on the average with these children daily.

If the teacher is really concerned about these kids then he /she may as well help
develop them.But if she/he is not concerned, then forget it no matter the overhauling
nothing happens.

These teachers have their own families with challenges and problems staring
at them at their faces, how many will give these stubborn kids attention.

How many teachers pray for their students these days?

All these things na the parents go fit do am well.If dey no do am
society go dey rotten more and more.

Naijazoom: i will appreciate it if you read your txt carefully before you post, nigerians are not what you think... that post was highly racial. some nigerian youths read till they go psycho! it aint all about only reading... the fact is what do they invent...? isnt that the primary purpose of education..? Bringing bout new theories and ideas that can make our nation better and powerful.

omartins: I'll also blame teacher that's why many are running away from test. I got to Lagos before I know that the syllabus is being change every 4 year. But I used my sister textbooks which she used in 1988 in 2000 for my WAEC. Thank God I pass after 2 sittings.
