Those are not the type of case you report to school authority directly. First approach the teacher.
I disagree. Yes... we say firing was harsh.... but I'm sure it was not the first complain the Principal had ... this was just the last straw. Who knows.... the very parent may have spoken to the teacher before with no change.. so on this occasion she took it higher. Yes, teachers are human... some of them are stuck in their ways .... believing they can say whatever they want to say. Her mouth is loose.... she needed to go.

But you know there are some schools where you are not allowed to give a child food except what he/she brought to school

This can also cost you much, not advisable
Nah,it's just a joke.

Have you considered the consequences of this for the child?

For one, she has clearly seen the power in disobedience and she'll certainly grow more wings.

Yes, the teacher was wrong to lose her temper, but instant sack was a bit too HARSH (unless the proprietress had some unresolved beef with the teacher)

Didn't the parent know that the words were a reaction to the BEHAVIOUR of her child?

It's not like the teacher just walked into the class and said "Hey, you there, I will KILL you!"

Yes, you're right about the power of words, but there's much more to this case.

Children also need to OBEY the right words

She never said anywhere that's it's okay to be disobedient to elders. She only said, be mindful of your words.

That's one of the challenges of teachers in private schools, the more reason we have over spoilt children everywhere now. Teaching in private school is the most difficult white colar job in Nigeria, you have to keep reporting every wrong doings of the kids to the principal who has got no balls to punish them for real. Some parents will even walk majestically to the classroom to harass you cos you had an issue with their ward. Read through the comments here and see that we have plenty of those arrogant parents who feels their kids are too precious to be tempered with. A time will come when all these people will have to teach their kids at home.
the same home that is plagued with alot of challenges already?, it's gonna be tough

undecided The teacher deserved what happened to him/her, people should be mindful of what they say, a word is enough for the wise.
i bet to disagree with you, she didnt get what she deserved, she was not given a chance to explain what really happened, the Proprietress should have been considerate, a warning and a change of class or maybe Few weeks suspension would have been Fair

All your opinions were based on assumptions but you still concluded she needs to go.
You'll be amazed she's working in another school now.
REMEMBER, I said, "first approach the teacher."
Try being a teacher with about 20 types of your kid that you can't flog or speak harshly to in a classroom for one day. And you still have to teach them.
You can't really speak boldly if you haven't been in her shoes before.
I was a teacher and I'm also a parent. I can assure you that if the parent had approached the teacher friendly on at least two occasions, the teacher would treat the kid differently.
I don't jump at everything my kids says happens in school cause I know kids can be VERY manipulative. I examine the situations and scenarios before taking actions. Approaching the proprietor is the last resort. I don't want my kids to be stereotyped by teachers.

Hmmmm..... the son behaves just like the mother did when she was that age.....that's what I heard! But as a mother if your son bites at home he will bite abroad.... not many cannibals left... and we would be very happy if they all die out. .. but this your son..ehmmm... let me shut up.
Advice... every time your son bites someone... force him to eat bitter kola... or drink castor oil or some such unpleasant tasting stuff.... or... tie him down... get a machete and a hammer or big stick...plus a long pointed knife and let him know you'll have to knock his teeth out because he is misusing them. But preplan with someone to intervene at the last moment to stop you and beg for him. You will see results... he may even become vegetarian after. Bend the tree when it is young.

I can't stop laughing. Will try it out. Thank you

Been there done that. From your commemt.....your options of disciplining kids are limited to two.... flog or speak harshly. You cannot manage a class of 20 or be an effective teacher. There are kids who are used to being brutalized and screamed and cursed at home.... your petty flogging and harsh speaking will be non effective on such kids. You are now out of options... they not afraid of the consequences. ..and will continue to disrupt the class .. so where would that leave you ? A teacher that cannot control her class. As someone said earlier.... basically, you have no business teaching young kids without reading up on child psychology. If one does... he/she will know how to instill self discipline in the child and not try to do so by force. Again... that teacher needed to go. Her getting another teaching job is not at all surprising to me. .... nor would I be surprised if she hits the headlines for getting angry and severely beating the crap out of one of her pupils.

Well, there's a difference between your opinion and what the facts are.

I don't even have to flog my students again, a glance at them... And they all fall 8n place.

I see you've taken the issue personal by address your comments to me personally. I studied child psychology, psychology of learning and Human psychology. But NON of that really prepers you for the real experience until you've had it. So forget all that psychological Montessori gibberish... It's a whole new game when you're actually in a classroom striving to impact learning and also manage your class. Even the books advices teachers to apply the appropriate method that each situation demand.

I was managing a school when I quit teaching for something else.
You can continue to claim you're perfect and all... Well good luck.

I'm not one of those persons. From the comment... it implied that there are only two options to discipline a child.... I highlighted them.... flog or speak harshly. You as a parent can choose to use those two only... but as a teacher.... that doesn't cut it. That was my point. Feel free to engage me on that. The person rebutted by saying she doesn't even have to flog or speak harshly... just look...and the child will know how to behave. That's a real teacher. Still want to engage?

As we all know, students In nursery, primary and secondary school just resumed for another academic section So I thought I should share this information with us, especially the teachers.

Children are very sensitive, and as such parents and guiders in school should be really careful of the kind of words we use on them. I know some of them can be very stubborn in class even to the extent of annoying you on purpose..

Lemme share this little piece how q teacher lost her job cause of a child.

This teacher asked her little pupil to write, and the child is a really stubborn one. Instead of her to do what she was told she kept doing another thing.. There the teacher said "Because of this your character, I'll kill you"
grin This little girl kept this in her head till she got to the house and reported to the mother, the next day the mum went to the school to meet the proprietress the teacher couldn't give a good explanation for it.. But I'm sure it was all anger and she couldn't control her words

There, the teacher was fired immediately..

The teachers and even everyone should be really mindful of words, Words break and makes a person, we'll be surprised at the level our words can go.


Good Morning!
