Not all teachers are satisfied with their salaries, so rather than asking for a higher pay, they figure out a way to make extra cash through some of these means:
PRACTICALS
Guess this is where most sciense teachers get lucky. So, my little bro comes home one day asking for a tuber of yam to take to school. He said his intergrated Science Asked all of them in the class to bring a tuber of yam each for 'starch test'. Do the maths yourself. There are over 25 students in his class which equals 25 tubers of yam for one practical. Oh, not to mention this teacher takes JS3a, and JS3b. Show of hands, who doesnt wanna be a Science teacher now. *winks*
PRIVATE LESSONS
This is the biggest way to make money. Most teachers even make more money from organising private lessons than what the school pays them. But of course, conducting private lessons isn't a crime but becomes one when the students attending these private lessons enjoy certain privileges that non-attendants don't enjoy. Privileges like AOCs, "favouritism", etc thereby making the other students opting for private lessons even when they don't really need it. Who wouldnt do anything to make an extra buck?
SALE OF BOOKS
Yea, this is very rampant. Teachers buy the textbooks at discounted price from the publisher, then forces the students to purchase them at a higher price. Reminds me of when my Business Studies teachers wrote a book on Shorthand and forced us all to buy despite the fact that our Business Studies for Junior Secondary School had 3 whole chapters dedicated to shorthand. And of course, no textbook, no test/exam. The books are compulsory, even more than the tuition fees.
FRIVOLOUS FINES
Fines, a good way to take advantage of students. Almost all offences are 'fine-able'. I remember back then, anyone who makes the Noise Makers list pays #20. Same goes for speaking native languages or coming late. Sometimes, the students are promised a NEW waste basket with the money but most times, the cash goes to the teacher's Pocket.
ASKING FOR GIFTS
Well, maybe I attended a secondary school that's located in a village, but I do know that everytime I come from a long break, mostly christmas, I hear teachers subtly telling students not to forget to bring their own share of the goodies. The request is usually subtle or playful but we all know that the girl who always brings teachers stuffs gets preferrential treatment. Don't forget my Ileya meat my muslim pals, else...
Agree with the list?

I detest private lesson(to me, its extra burden), and I didn't have much to spend on books and practicals so I usually didn't mind when I was sent of those classes. Moreso, I was a very good girl so my name was hardly in any noise maker list.
