There are differences between university and secondary school... Just google the difference..

Approaches are different too.. He should have asked him to excuse him if he was making noise and disturbing his class... or he himself will leave... That's how to tackle situation like this in higher institution... But I'm guessing a lot of People are now used to hash treatment, that humiliation means nothing anymore even as adults

mikezuruki:


I commend the lecturer for taking such an approach.

Students feel they can do whatever they like in the name of being in the university.

And for those saying "glorify secondary school" my advice is for you guys to grow up.

Lecturers are like father's,so nothing big about what he did.my Hod used to do that when I was in school and we don't make noise about u.children of nowadays don't have respect.

Gentlerespect76:
I do more.

Sometimes you just come face to face with a situation where you need to just act; even to treat them as children they are. Being an undergraduate doesn't mean you behave like an animal. I have at times taken unconventional steps and even received applauses from students. It happens at the spur of the moment. If you are not in the shoe don't complain because you don't know what obtains today on our campuses

Modified:

Please, I will not argue with anyone concerning my position above. Those who will tag and spill gibberish here are children whom Nairaland has given a platform to misbehave; so no problem, shed your tears in peace. What I know is that no parent will kick because walking the narrow path is every parent's desire for their children 'cause it leads to success.

Now ask yourself which is better? Ask him to leave the class and make him miss a possibly vital portion of the course or ask him to kneel in front where he wouldn't have the opportunity to disrupt the class but hear all the lecturer will say?
The fact that you're in a university does not give you the license to misbehave in a class. Moreso, the student's outfit seems to be a dress code, which some specific departments in various universities do wear. If indeed it is a dress code, then part of the code would require that your shirt is tucked in.
Law students will not fly their shirts in class, medical students do that either, so a lecturer maintaining the university code is not out of place.

Even comments here on nairaland show the types of undergraduates we are breeding at moment, most are kids and totally immature minds, in which it needs extra ordnary measures to tame nonsense in their behaviors.

I blame NECO, WAEC won't be spared as well. They completely rubbish their standards, kids hardly do WAEC twice before they enter into the universities, at 15, immature minds getting admission into the ivory towers already.

Polynek:
I hv seen a lecturer do dsame tin here in FUTO

Richy4:



Ask him to kneel in front of the class? An undergraduate? who is aspiring to be an engineer, doctor, lawyer etc? How does that even sound to you buddy?

Since when have kneeling down in front of the class becomes a conducive way of learning?.. maybe u guys should revisit the meaning of university and the activities that are carried out in the place.. then the conversation might flow nicely...
Every institution have rules and regulations... Humiliation is not part of that.. just ask anyone that is in institution management...

When a student misbehaved in a class every lecturer knows what to do.. and it was mostly talked about in their meetings... But hey what can say...

Without mincing words many Nigerians still think like they are in the stone age.

Maybe its frustration that's making them think this is acceptable.

When they go abroad this stupid behaviour magically disappears.

I tayaooo my dear...
In some parts of the world, Some students were helping their lecturers to carry out a research on Covid-19 and other important research that might help humanity...

In another part of the world, things like tucking in shirts were more important.. Humiliation was as normal as counting ABC in primary schools.. it's just heart wrenching.

Richy4:


You can do more? I'm glad for u that u can only lecture in Nigeria... If you take that approach else where, u might find yourself in labour market the next semester.

I don't think Nigeria will ever get to a point where the school management will ask students to evaluate them (lecturers) at the end or middle of every semester...

Where any lecturer that was rated low will be relieved of that course because of negative comments from students...

Ask many of your colleagues outside Nigerian shores where this system is practiced, they were always acting like fishes outside water because ultimate power have been removed from them.. just because they knew only military regime style of teaching.. anything short of that makes them uncomfortable..

Humiliation can never be tagged teaching... Even common south Africa, I read where a vice principal called out students who did not comb their hair before coming to school and was combing it for them in front of the assembly... The whole nation was against that principal... A lot of us might say ordinary combing but some experts knows the difference between teaching and humiliation

Nigerian mentality at it's finest, proud ignorance and praising ridiculous measures.

You guys are just in love with suffering and nonsense. Imagine thinking because you failed WAEC everyone must fail. That same mentality which is responsible for brilliant minds having their destinies arrested in Nigeria.

I hope we move on from this sufferhead mentality, maybe then we can have universities fit for human beings and not animals.

Fiscus105:



Oga waec standard is on the ground, even you urself you aided by the officials of private school you attended.

....Since the days of NECO the flood gate of baggage in baggage out open gidigba.

That's just the genesis of the problems Nigerian students were facing... When u see lecturers as your fathers.. they are not and will never be..most of them that were well trained knew that fact...

Their very role is to teach/ guide students based on their elected career.. some times coach or mentor the students... You can google mentoring and it's objective... That role was different from a fatherly role...

If they want to carry out some kind of discipline, it should be based on lay down rules of the institution... U don't take laws into your own hands because u wanna be a father figure in a higher institution..

lolu2019:
I believe that any child that want to learn will still have to go through some kind of discipline.they r undergraduates not professionals.
