If I were to head such a school, I will not approve such a comment.

Please what's your take on this kind of remark?

As a teacher/ head teacher, what would you have done differently?

As a parent, how will you react

Even though this is highly unethical, I still feel some parents need to be informed of some strange or akward behavior their wards exhibit in school.

In my years of experience as a teacher, I've seen some behavioral problems that I sometimes wish to pen down similar reports in their scripts or assignments but then I remember the code of conduct and refrain from doing such. Though this does not stop us from discussing it in class among ourselves. I'm sure the teacher must have complained and discussed this with her colleagues who prolly advised her wrongly to go ahead and make such remarks.
Some students can frustrate ones career.

Teachers should be highly rewarded and appreciated in this part of the world because they are encountering a lot in this field/profession otherwise this kind of remarks will become the order of the day.

Note:
Before you come at me, note that I already condemned the act in my first paragraph.

If na my pikin, dat teacher should prepare for the beating of his/her useless life.

...

The teacher is simply not eloquent enough to express herself effectively in English Language. Perhaps she meant something else in vernacular.
In anycase the teacher is unqualified.

Reminds me of a man who was asked to give vote of thanks after a sumptuous meal who concluded by saying:
"... Infact We Are Fed Up".

Exactly. This approach is more professional than the way she went about it.

I don't think it's a case of "special needs" I think it has to do with the child's unruly behavior or even behaving possessed. Note that she said "he doesn't behave like a human being" and not "he doesn't behave normal"
They are two different things.

I once had an experience where after disciplining a boy for not paying attention and later failing the question being asked. This boy started staring at me in a strange and creepy way. If i rebuke him, he'll calm down, then start again and I kept rebuking him to stop staring at me like that and look into his book. I caught him like three times and kept rebuking. Now that's strange. Dunno what he was trying to do but I suppressed him .

That's one of the strange behaviors she might be talking about and so many I do not wish to say here.


Hope the parents take it in good fate.

I guess that's your child/ward.
Train ya child well at home and stop looking for validation from social media.


The teacher wrote what she observed

CJ310:
The teacher and the principal are both moving mad! This result isn’t so good and can be improved upon but it’s not a very poor performance. However, it seems like the child has known behavioral issues. They can address same specifically and professionally.

You're wrong
Absolutely wrong
I don't have a grown kid of such age
My daughter is even in playgroup

Don't make hasty conclusions, doesn't speak good of you, sir.

tiswell:
No,you misinterpreted my position.I said 'I guess"...


It's relative,not definite.

Alapojamesy:
Some parents really needs to work on their children.. Most of them were seeing these signs, but they're too busy to put them in statutory position.. They will just bring their children and dump them in school and japa..
Some have been given prior noticed of their children's derogatory activities or attitudes but they choose to to care..
Well, to train a child includes both the parent and the school. They both have roles to play..

placeofallure:


You can compare a teacher and what he sees to Musa at the gate and what he sees too.

I once told a parent that the daughter is a "roughian" I mean the notes and her work generally, only for the mother to say she's not rough in Jesus name. Na me be devil abi?
The thing is some parents don't want to hear the truth about their children. Me I don't know how to sugarcoat. I try to be as professional as I can be, but I'll tell you the truth. I don't know how to play dilly-dally with a child's life.

In the case above, what the teacher wrote is unethical, especially on a record that's gonna stand forever. She should have facilitated a meeting with the parents instead.
