Chithauri:
I want to prepare lesson notes. I have no time for una rubbish. its under our syllabus and no knowlege is a waste. until it is removed we will continue to teach it.

There is no better lessons not u will prepare today than ur full participation here, remember you are a teacher and u have to give me enough reasons to let you handle the futures of my daughters

NUJABEZ:



You asked the question. I want to know why. Are you still typing with typewriters?

No I'm addicted to easy life, keyboards and screen makes life easier

patorial:



That it's still left in waec doesn't make it still relevant. Remember African leader have always had the bug in developments.

Are you a teacher?no so you have no idea what it means to be an educator. do you know better than waec. I will google American curriculum so you know they still do these topics.

Chithauri:
Nothing good comes easy this thing you are so much in a hurry to dispose off was invented thru hard work. let the kids get this knowledge, it will come in handy. Don't compared Nigeria with China please.

. No we should compare Nigeria with South Sudan........

NUJABEZ:


Your reasoning makes me sad. Yeah, continue teaching antiquated knowledge. I won't be surprised if you lack computer literacy seeing how you are fighting.

Don't GI there abeg.

patorial:



I hope you know that the format in typewriter key settings is noW way different from that of keyboards

Just like I said earlier, I lecture this subject as a course. This is how it works. We use the typewriters to build the student's Keyboarding skill from the scratch. Having learnt the mastery of the keyboard, speed and accuracy using the typewriter, you will agree with me that it will be more easier and simpler using the computer keaboard. Its all about systematic progression. Although, it is always very difficult for students to cope with because many do not have good background in Business Studies which I think it's one of the reasons the ministry of Education is coming up with this idea.

Chithauri:

Well still remember that the topic says that the students are being FORCED to learn the skill.

Chithauri:
in academics. A will bring a law, 200years later, B will come out with his own theory disproving A. 50 years later, C comes and say A and B are totally wrong. But why do we still study theory A and B?
you are even worst you want a separate subject for it. In basic 1,2 and 3 type writer is usually 3rd term. For 1 and 2 its the week 10 and 11, for basic 3 it week7,8,9, and 10. we don't dwell on it much for you to be advocating that we make it a subject. They learn about the keyboard in their computer studies.

I already answered your first question in my previous post

damn right i want a separate course for it because its a topic for extra study or particular interest of an adult somewhere who just likes old things, not for a growing child who has to compete with kids all over the world

well, if you say so. we are still using kerosene lamps and water-wells when those are the stuff of old war stories in other countries, so carry go...

Chithauri:
Don't GI there abeg.

Well, are you? Are you computer literate?

not gonna respond. step away.

God bless you. Those who are not in the classroom can only sound philosophical and Utopia. Classroom reality is far from them. Those who designed the syllabus understand the specific objectives to be achieved through the subject. But those who still viewed teaching as mere oral explaination will not understand. We teach from known to unknown, concrete to abstract, past to present, type writter to computer and so on.

midnighter:


So can you please help your colleague out and explain how it makes sense in 2019...we dont understand

Ok its more rigorous but very soon even keyboards will be on touchscreen so what does it matter...?

. Please don't break your head, I surprised to see people who support the kind of educational system in Nigeria, this is 2019 not 1988.

You can't be sharing country with Taliban's and expect civilization

you were forced to come out from you mom for your own good. forced to school for your own good.if you say we force them. then yes, it is for their own good.

Why not in one pace, use the energy to teach them the keyboard method than Watching them have to crawl first before walking, while it's very certain that the kid can simply stand up and WALK.

Theyre even the ones saying it, its very deplorable

Ok if you wash your clothes by hand, you will know how a washing machine does, and so?

And you too bros. pay no attention to them. I blame government wey give all this riffraff mouth to condemn teachers. have we seen any teacher teaching a Doctor or a lawyer her job? lack of respect is really hurting me here. All what I've been trying to say you honestly put it here.God bless you bro.

Chithauri:

Yes forced me out of my parents hide that I am able to communicate with you now, that's way too good,

But what good do u intend by forcing me to learn typewriter when you clearly know that the future u prepare for me requires a keyboard

midnighter:


But arent they supposed to have upgraded it to something else...like keyboard training...? like with an actual computer or some transcription equipment

Chithauri:
what u find irrelevant is relevant to others. typewriting is even a waec O'level subject.

@Chithauri, youre very correct. Most times we forget where we are coming from or what we actually need. In my opinion, if they can afford to have computers, then ofcourse, why not, however, if they don't have computers and they don't have typewriters, then tell me what will they be doing ? Back in the day of ASUU strike, i was a Computer Science student then in the Univ, My parents couldn't afford all those Computer schools then, but i wanted to learn how to type fast. I enrolled in a typewriting school in Obalende with those kpeke-kpeke typewriters. Yes, i felt out of place and the whole environment, fellow students, even the instructors all made me look like i didn't belong there. I was there for maybe only three days, but i cherished those "ASDF :LKJ spacebar" lessons i heard and i regretted quitting later on. Yes, later at work you have typing tutors etc however, if all you have is a typewriter and you type well with it, the transition to typing on a computer keyboard will be a breeze.

patorial, nujabez and the rest I can't reply you all. read this and jobabori response. you will get your answers...

It's a step-by-step thing. I have not seen where I child just stand up and walk without crawling. I don't know why this our generation is too much in a hurry to achieve everything within the space of light while ignoring the PROCESS.
You will be surprised to discover that students are more serious with typewriter class than Keyboarding class where we make use of the computer.

Chithauri:

Do u understand that these syllabus were originally adopted when it were still needed, I bet it has never been edited, that such thing still exist in the syllabus could be because the syllabus itself have not been edited

other than type writer I can tell you 50 other topics in different subject that are irrelevant as you all call it.I've enjoyed this argument and Im happy a few other guys are vouching for this including a computer scientist arewa1408.

Arewa1408. that's quite nice.

But why cant you tell me 50 topics that we are aiming for in the future? why do we always have to be backward?

The generation rushing to achieve everything has made advanced countries familiar with 5G network while we that are cool achieving it slowly are here renaming 2G networks

If something is possible why not make
