you did well by leaving the stupid school, the same thing happened to me when I was serving, I wrote to my LI for transfer to another PPA, don't take rubbish not even from my children or nephews, nieces. if I am the parent of that boy you will discipline him more in my present.

You will give up your son for public lynching? You think that is good parenting? It's your responsibility, not his, not the public's. And punishing a child should never involve humiliation, that makes him worse, not better.

Good day, How are you all. I want to use this medium to tell everyone what happened at my school today. I teach at a Private Secondary School in Lagos (Name Withheld).

So today being the First day of resumption, we also resumed school activities. We didn't really do much. Today was just revision of last terms work, giving scheme of work to students and introduction to second terms work.

At around 12noon, I was teaching Jss1 Class. And as I was teaching, a boy named Innocent threw his maths note to a girls table. I saw it and didn't like the fact the he was disrupting my class by throwing notes to his classmate
so I seized the note. When the class ended, I carried the note to return to the boy then a small paper fell from the book. Apparently he had written an Erotic Letter and hide it inside the Maths Note for the girl to read.

In the Note, He wrote...
Dear Ann
I like you very much.
I like watching Porn.
Come to the toilet and I will show you some girls that are sexing boys on phone.
E.g Britney White...Anika Albright.
Come alone during break time.
Don't tell anybody.
From Innocent.

After reading, I became so shocked that an 11yrs old boy could write such a thing with names of strange people. Apparently those names are names of Adult Film Entertainers (Porn Stars).
I called the boy, questioned him and gave him just 5 strokes of the Cane becos our Principal has told us to cane only on the hands or buttocks of any child.

After 30mins, the Mother called me on phone and started insulting, abusing me. Saying all sort of things that why did I cane her child? For what? I told her what he did and she was like..."And So...And So....Is Innocent the first person to do such a thing....And so" I was so shocked.

The next thing, My principal sent for me asking me why I caned the boy. I told him what he did and showed him the letter. He was shocked. As we were talking, the boys mother called and was shouting on the phone saying she will deal with me for beating her child. In her words...

"Why did that teacher beat my Son. What did he do?...And so?...Is that what my self and my husband are paying over N350K as School fees per term for It's either, u sack that teacher or I withdraw all my children from that school."

My Principal explained to her what her son did yet she kept on ranting on the phone even after my principal sent her the Erotic Note via WhatsApp.

After an hour, a driver came to pick up the boy around 1pm. He didn't even stay till close of school today which was 3 pm.
My Principal then warned me seriously that from today hence forth, even if I catch students misbehaving or even having sex with themselves, I should pretend as if I didn't see them.
According to him, he said he needs the school fees they are bringing to the School.

I just got home now but I'm so pissed and angry. Right now, I'm done with teaching. I'm not going there tomorrow. It's getting too much.
Parents don't train their children well and when teachers do the job for them, they fight us and school owners support them all because of MONEY.

My co-teacher always says to me....
"Bro, calm down. School owners don't care about the wellbeing of the students. School is a business and they must make Profit. If you get in their way of getting money from parents too much, they sack u immediately. That's the truth. School is a Business. They are Entrepreneurs"...

I'm not surprised why there is high rate of Criminal behaviour among youths in the society today.
Charity begins at home.
Children are spoiling everyday under the noses of their parents yet their parents don't stop or discipline them. It is sad.
If you don't discipline them now, is it when they enter University you will start what you should have done years ago

Advise: If you like spoil your children. If you like let them spoil while you watch them. You are spoiling them for yourself. The school doesn't discipline children again because most parents have made them not to. So if you are the type that believe the school will discipline the children you have refused to discipline, then you are on your own. When they grow up, your reality will dawn on you.

Have a pleasant evening.

So you think you were training him by flogging him? Did you have a conversation around sex, purity and dangers of engaging in such activities with him?

What did you hope to achieve by flogging him?

Do you think that will make him desist from doing that next time?

I wonder the kind of school that is, and yet people pay heavily.

Nawa!!

RisenPhoenix1:
I think you were wrong. No school teacher should have the right to physically assault a student on impulse, regardless of the enormity of the 'crime'. You should have reported the child for possible suspension or even expulsion, and included the parents in the report. I have come to reuse that most teachers take out their frustrations on students, and some are proud of beating the younger ones put in their charge. All this teaches a child is that might is right, and that it is right to use violence as long as you are stronger than your adversary. Then we wonder why children are so cruel and abusive these days. Abused children will always abuse in turn.

Next time, leave corporal punishment to the parents. Or exercise it on your own children when the urge arises.

Thank you for this!

I’m still trying to understand what he hoped to achieve by flogging the child?

Yes,do that girl's mother a favour and alert her please.That was how a teacher in his late fourty's was asking a J.S.S.2 student to sleep with him, the girl refused and he started giving the girl unnecessary punishment.The student eventually opened up when it was too much and the slowpoke dog of a teacher told me and I quote "why are you protecting a girl that is spoilt already or do you think she's still a virgin"... I shock that day. Infact for even confronting the teacher I was queried, the principal believed that I was embarrassing a fellow teacher in the staffroom.



Parents should be watchful over their children....e get why!

I find the bolded more shocking

So a teacher should not be embarrassed for trying to sleep with a minor that is under his care.

I don't even understand, what is even happening these days, A teacher being queried for exposing a questionable teacher. - Teacher that should be sacked and blacklisted from all schools.
