Dear Nairalanders,

I read a post last week wherein a Nairalander mentioned the positive impact of the internet on his daughter's health. I am here to give my own testimony, but this time, the positive impact of the Internet on my child's education. This is very notable to me because many people, especially those who believe in hardwork are always too quick to point out the dangers in the Social Media, particularly, Facebook. My son is attending one of the best secondary schools in Lagos and to be honest, the teachers are doing so much there that I couldn't think of a better school where my child could be more improved. At a time, the mother and I thought his grades were ridiculous because there were so many brilliant students in their class. We made several visits to the school where they made us know that they had already spotted him as being far below average and had since concentrated much effort on him.

To our dismay, none of the 'efforts' worked. We decided to try him on assignments for lower classes but he failed woefully. Two home tutors stopped coming abruptly when they noticed they were not getting any improvement to justify their pay. We got worried that even if we were able to push him through secondary school, he might never be able to cope with any higher education. I decided to speak to my Pastor's wife (not on spiritual grounds but because she is an educationist and also owns a school). Surprisingly, she referred me to a Facebook group of educational consultants. Right in the church, she opened her phone and invited me to the group. I had no internet access at that moment, so I promise to take necessary steps on reaching home.

Still with great unbelief, I decided to give it a try. I was accepted to the group and I was able to post my son's problem. Within three hours, I got great hints (which even my son's teachers had never thought about). I was a little skeptical because the most convincing contributor's recommendations required about six weeks of intensive exercise for us and the child. To cut the whole story, the solution to my son's problem came from a Facebook group and the most outstanding fact is that I didn't spend a dime. It is just as if something was cast out of my son. Now he even reads in the loo and answers questions like a genius... I have made personal contact with one of the consultants to give my testimony but I decided to share it here to corroborate the fact that the INTERNET CAN RESHAPE BLURRY DREAMS... Use it wisely

Hahahaha... A true realist you are. Nice one!

Congrats to OP. As good as your testimony is, you failed to state the Facebook group name or at least, share a link to the group page.

This is undoubtedly New to Me.

thank God it improved your son's grades in school, on the other hand, facebook has affected some students' grades in school negatively
