please distinguish between private schools/university and the public ones where what you wrote up there applies
I guess you own a primary school or you are planning to do so. I went to a private primary school, and there have been times when strikes have been called for by NUT.

So please make your own tent while I design mine.

Thanks

Even tho i have felt, tasted and witnessed life in Nigeria as a student going thru all the hazzles that could ever be felt. I will still stand and say i prefer my kids to go thru Primary & Secondary in Naija. I want my children not only to have a feel of their culture from childhood but able to speak their language correctly. I want my kids to get used to the morals/food here in Nigeria. I want the true African blood to flow in their veins. That is one.

Now aside that, i can't bring up kids in another man's land, only for them to start quoting laws for me & telling me what they are old enough to do & what not. Cos no matter how well u raise ur kids, the tradition of the place u stay influence the child in way or the other. I stand to be corrected.

Now talking about schools, I don't regret the schools i went to here in Nigeria. If i were to pick schools again i might still pick those school i went to over again. And to think that Naija kids are always/usually more brainy than the kids that went thru primary/secondary schools over there. Now thinking of it when we were young and some of our cousins come around from the likes of US/UK. Their spoken English is the only thing i give kudos to, (that's because their Ist language did not take effect) but to write na whahala, to solve easy maths becomes headache. So what's the point. University could then be taken abroad simply because of what Nigeria has caused for herself, Since some company in Nigeria would simply state that they would prefer Universities off Nigeria.

I've also noticed that once a child moves abroad for education after the secondary school levels in Nigeria they go topping their classes , why, because the reading culture is already there. The foundation is solid. If marriage changes my plan, i won't even forgive myself.
