Paranoidfellow indeed. Good luck. You get anger issue joor. Na de man put rice for fire for your house abi na him you follow dey talk when de rice burn? Him provoke you for school you carry de vex go house. Na your type go punish your spouse for offense wey colleague commit for office.

So, what exactly are you driving at you point pls?

paranoidfellow:
It actually a not so funny story.

So I worked at a private school 8am - 2pm for a pay of 17k monthly. I was employed to work as an Agric and Economics teacher. Payment is always prompt and I'm never owed a salary. Few weeks after I resumed, a teacher left and her subjects was distributed to other teachers. Hence, I am taking 3 subjects now. The teacher that left was also a class teacher of JSS1.

Fast forward to today, after exams where the class teacher will be collating scores, I was told I will henceforth be the class teacher of Jss1 which I outrightly reject. The proprietor was called upon and to quote him, he said ' Authoritatively I'm making you the class of JSS1" and I replied that I reject it.

I got home angrily and hungrily, I put a cup of rice on fire and I called a colleague of mine on whatsapp and was discussing the issue with her. I got carried away and the pot of rice was extremely burnt.

In the bid to remove the pot from fire, not thinking straight, I took the 'new school sport wear' (a cloth we were forced to buy for 6k and the money will be deducted from our salary) that I left hanging in the dining room, outside minded I use the cloth to carry the hot burnt pot of rice.

The result has being attached.

I'm walking to the man tomorrow to terminate my appointment immediately and pay me my remaining salary!

I don't joke with my mental health

I was once in your shoe, although mine was SS3 class, being a class teacher is a whole lot of work, you are responsible for every student in that class, their behaviour, their performances in class the most tedious part of it is you are to collate and prepare their results at the end of terms. I was also taking Chemistry and Mathematics

However, I never got tired, I was patient and Las Las, I resigned honorably after getting another job

I would advise you to be patient while you pray and search for your desired place.

This is bullshit_ !!!

Teaching has suffered on Nairaland.

Instead of you lot to insist on not working in schools where they turn you to slaves, you'll take the jobs, then after a while, create a thread on NL, complaining and telling us about your sufferings.

Meanwhile there are a lot of schools in Abuja and Lagos and Kano and Port Harcourt etc., who start salaries with nothing less than 100k and they employ every day.

Na una sabi sha.

A time is coming in Nigeria, where there would be no qualified Teachers to train our kids.

Teachers are the most neglected, hated and used civil servants. And heaven help you if you end up in a private school. They will drain all you have without trying to equip or invest in you.

2014 to 2016, I thought 2 subjects in a private secondary school, I was taking JSS 1 to SSS 3 one of the two subjects and JSS 1 to JSS 3 the other subject, total of 9 classes.
The school examination questions were WAEC standed where you prepare 60 objectives and 5 or more essay questions without repetition and/or true/false answers.

I compiled over 585 questions every term and mark over 16 thousand answers termly. I still have other duties aside the class duties.


I was paid 11,880 naira monthly

17k?
Let me not brag but that won't feed me in week.
However bro. It is a good thing you come to that decision, however before you do, make sure you have something else doing.

I remember when I was receiving 8k as salary.
I was still devoted, however opportunities came knocking right left and centre, I even rejected a 35k job.
Don't know what came over me.
Well in the coming weeks after that I got a better offer.

Now here is my 2cents.
You should be open minded and ready to dialogue and if you're that good, chances will definitely come your way.
Shalom.

Coming from an aboki that tutors in the deep trenches of Niger state, where pupils use log of wood as seat

Because na you build the schools keep for Abj & Ph..

Do your teaching in peace... No blackmail anybody

17k a month WTF! I hope you get a better job. If we have employers of labour here, please help this fellow.

The last paragraph is hilarious ... Sorry OP better offer coming soon

Teaching work has no future in Naija abegi
In one of the schools I taught in Enugu, they pay 70k still teachers are quiting or sacked everyday. Fear any private school that makes it compulsory for staff members to live inside school. They will insult you, treat you like a slave and no matter how hard working you are, they will look for how to paint you black. I don't advice anyone I love to go into teaching.
If you have way to do, go into business.

Which subjects are you good at so that l can help with a better offer. Don't forget to state the state of residence.

Nigerian private business employers are slavedrivers with no human compassion. Their only interest is how to exploit their staff to enrich their lives.

Wicked people everywhere.

Uhhhh, please take it easy on yourself;if others tell you their experiences in the office, you would agree yours is good.

I studied Geography and Regional planning,. Graduated with a strong 2.1

I'm also a good tutor. I can take Geography, Economics, English and Agric science.

Someone should please come to my aid. I'm so exhausted hunting for job with no success

Vaughanlanrewaj:
@ OP, I think, like your moniker, you are getting paranoid and you allowed things to spiral out of your control.
Even if you quit tonight,I guarantee you that the school will still continue. You handle children and you can do better with your emotion.
Next time, instead of repeating your negative "I reject it", you can politely request for a meeting where you can ask for the extra tasks you may have to undertake and if there is monetary compensation that comes with it.

If you are a committed teacher, you will take that opportunity and prove that you are competent.
I will not encourage you to listen to anyone making you feel that your pay is horrible, it is money earned legitimately which comes with its own blessings. It does not give you the opportunity to disrespect your employer.
Like I always tell my people, the way you exit an organization is even more important than how you joined the organization.Things are changing and you will be shocked that if you leave in a disrespectful and unprofessional manner,it could later cost you in the future

You need to be calming down and if there are serious issues on your mind, seek help on them. These your reasons are not a big deal. Take up the extra task and help those young fellas if you are truly a teacher(Guru as Indians affectionately regard teachers).
As time goes on, more opportunities will come your way, if you struggle to always go or do extra, you will be regarded as mediocre,especially in highly competivie high paying environment.

I am a teacher & rarely av anger issue too. But i do not go home with nor transfer my anger. I expend all mine @ d spot. I nearly beat our V.P 1, a senior Anglican priest who threatened me with sacking on top 12k salary as PTA a teacher in a public sch, though we r allowed to hustle part time elsewhere. That time, even till now, d sch is still owing me 17k. This time around, i feel it's d principal of d sch dt will receive d beating. He earns 100k plus & other pecks, yet misappropriating PTA fund meant for we 12k earners under him. Now, March & April stipend is in d cloud.

I'm a professional teacher, but I quitted the profession 3years ago.

paranoidfellow:


Thank you very much. One of the reason I posted it, to wonder if I'm on the right or just overthinking the issue. I can stay but I won't take up the extra work. I really appreciate your input and I see things from another point of view. I mean it, your words had an impact and I'm grateful for that.

Take the OP' advice. How do you acquire experience if you turn down every extra task(s) given to you. Like he rightly said, this could be opportunity to propel you to a higher height. You could have politely requested for a pay rise for the additional task given to you while you learn on the job.

Kylekent59:
I hope you don't go hungry after you have exhausted your savings. Look for another job.

Savings from 17k a month?
Where on Earth is that possible?
