Akposb:
Okay I am for Literature, enperor650 I need your help concerning our timetable, thanks in advance.

You will have to meet and get your lecturers to fix their time. Emperor650 hasn't done that.

Akposb:
Were you in school today? I didn't see the timetable, maybe we can chat on whatsapp: 08135502120.

I was at the department yesterday. I pasted the timetable for Language students only. Are you for language or literature? If you're for literature you will have to connect Emperor650 for your timetable.

oyebiyi12:
pls does anyone has idea of the list of courses to be offered for this semester? English literature department.

Go to the department. It is pasted there.

kendraloops:
Thanks but he's paid already. He didn't know before he paid. Just wanted to share , God knows best. Who knows what might happen before the expiration of the rent. We might move to our permanent site,Amin. E no easy.

Toh, do your best and leave the rest to God. At the end of the day , he might change his mind or as you have said get a place of your own.

kendraloops:
sorry, its a pre-primary. There's not going to be any renewal as landlord says he'll need to use d building after 2 years. my concern is just about having to relocate after all the stress.

Imo, then there's no point. Once you start relocating, parents will start withdrawing their wards cos it might not be convenient for them distance wise. Be on the lookout for other places you can use.

CHISOS!!! 37periods KILODE Chai!!

Walahi. I sick, Siddon for house for one week on top a meagre 25k fa.

ProfGday:

Please, where can I get access and acceptance cardto buy?

No one is indispensable in any organisation be it public or private. The business model I adopt is that my businesses should able to be profitable managed without too much interference by me.

We are saying the same thing. How can someone be indispensable in an organization be it private or public.?C'est pas possible.

manie:
You said you take 12 periods per week, but you forgot to tell the house that you are given other responsibilities like parenting in your school. Looking at it from the break-even point of view no school can be profitable, when teachers teach 12 periods out of the recommended 40 periods per week.

Those that know me in the house, are not oblivious of that fact.
Besides, we have a minimum of 2 or 3 teachers taking one subject in different schools I.e junior and senior schools.

manie:
No matter what, you will get to that stage in your career and organisation when your service will no longer be appreciated. That is the bitter truth.

That is why you are the only person that can make yourself.

I have worked in an organisation where my subordinates were paid higher than me, but that did not deter me from being happy and doing my best for the organisation.

It is your last statement that makes sense to me. The rest pftt. How can one be indispensable in a private organization? C'est pas possible.
It's only when one is self employed, that you can be valuable to yourself. But before then, I am ready to enjoy the gains of my passion wherever I find myself.

Akposb:
Hope to see Eng/Lit students tomorrow..any idea about where we are suppose to meet.

We will see by God's grace tomorrow at the department.

manie:
No teacher can give his best by teaching 37 periods in a week. But if you combine Literature with English, that will give a total periods of 21 for week which is just okay.


Are the a House parent in your school?

My dear I have once thought 37 periods, French, English and literature . I know what I'm saying and God knows I can never go back to such.
Yes, I am.

Evathyst:
Lolz! Ur post aptly describes all that I have in mind as regards teaching profession.


Get together? Well, let's keep our fingers crossed sha. Will seek permission from my Oga @ the top. Honestly, will like to see many of you on this thread face to face.


And lastly, if you think visiting prof deserves an award for his show of resilience even in face of sack I guess it's because u don't know him. He has always been an 'Aluta' comrade from our days in the Univ. But all the same, I know of many graduates who would have swallowed that insult all in the name of 'Employment is scarce'.


Teaching profession indeed!

Cherie, We have a whatsapp group where we chat and make preparations for the get together. Just send your number to Upload111 through a pm and voila you will be chatting with the rest of us in the group.

manie:
Any teacher that teaches 12 periods in a week is under utilised. The average number of periods approved by the Ministry of Education for a teacher is between 20 and 24 periods.

The only reason why school administrators will allow a teacher to teach 12 periods and below is when such a teacher is given other leadership or auxiliary responsibilities. Eg if you combine your teaching of English with Public relations/marketing roles.

Tah. Let me hear word. What do you mean by under utilized. Come and give me 37 periods now, so I can know I am teaching. In my school, the highest you can have is 18 periods. Those that are doing 27 periods a week, how much are they paid? Work like an elephant and eat like an ant. Tufiakwa.

Btw , I also do parenting aside teaching. And I don't work in Lagos state.

manie:
Unfortunately there is none you can enjoy, nobody can make us happy. The government, your employer, and friends cannot make you happy. You are the only one that can make yourself happy.

Love what you are doing.
Be very good at what you do.
Go the extra mile in whatever you do.
Be focused.
Have a target of how long you want to stay in the labour market.
Invest in yourself, develop good character and personality.
Start planning for your retirement or resignation on the first day you join the labour market.

When you do these, you will have confidence, happiness, peace of mind. This will make your colleagues and superiors to marvel at your PMA, you will also be surprised at the opportunities and possibilities that will be magnetised to you.

My dear, you are wrong. You can find happiness and fulfilment in your passion. Even where you work to an extent. There's no perfect organization.

I am passionate about teaching. I love what I do. I'm comfortable where I work to an extent. Once, I experience inconveniences, I take succor in the gains of my passion. And if I feel my servics are not well appreciated, I repackage my resume and off I go in search for other places till God establishes me to have a school.

Evathyst:
My one & only e-sister, yeah! Of course, one's placenta isn't buried in any particular school. But come to think of it, I'm still teaching somewhere, only contemplating quitting teaching profession for my make-up business.


But wait o, ain't you coming for the get-together? Or 'Daddy' wouldn't approve of it?

My love, your makeup business should not hinder you from being fulfilled in your chosen career. I am sure the civil servants that don't have businesses or handwork in Osun state are regretting it because they have not been paid for 7months now. So don't abandon your makeup biz. But you can always change your school if you're not valued.

I will be there by God's grace.

endtime1:
yes its true most of we so called graduates are reasons why most schools treat graduates unfairly. they always want to show oversabi imagine a chemistry graduate will be claiming I can teach physics ,further maths ,chemistry ,basic science,agric,biology, basic tech to mention a few
.if a graduate will muti task then how come will other graduates get job

Oh oh! Exactly my point. Then when they're given, they will now shout the internet down.

Evathyst:
Gbam! The Doctor has spoken!


Even I too like many other of his friends have found the reason behind his sack most unacceptable. But, as it is his style to always allow posterity take its course, I guess that's why someone like me chosed the golden rule of silence.


You would notice I've become quiet on this thread even before now, it's because I'm beginning to lose interest in teaching as a career. It's because of anomalies like this. Sometimes I tend to ask myself if I'm really teaching or slaving.


The one I face in my own place of work ehn, it's so unmentionable. Imagine a school where I've to teach biology (SS1-3), basic science(JSS1-3), and still teach sciences in the pry section. All, at the salary of one. The manner in which our VP addresses we teachers @ times, I ask myself 'Has job really become that scarce in this clime?'. Lemme quote an excerpt from his favourite threat 'This school is like a barrack, it's soldiers go, soldiers come but barrack will remain the same. If I choose to sack any of you tomorrow, ten graduates would be willing to replace you people even at a lower salary....'

Yes! I know many of my colleagues @ work are 'silent' followers of this thread but you know what, I really don't give a hoot cos I've dusted my make-up kit, might return to my source in the nearest future. . I just like teaching, that's all. But at this juncture, I guess I've to reconsider.



But all the same, once a teacher is forever a teacher.

My love , teaching is a calling and you must be passionate about it before you enjoy it. My dear, I have a slogan that "my placenta wasn't buried in any school ". So if you feel you're under paid, please move on.

Funny enough most graduates at the moment of being interviewed, over express themselves that they can teach all subjects and multitask. They won't stick to one or two subjects they are good in. When they resume and share the periods, they will cry foul. In my present school, though I can teach English, literature and French; I told them I can't teach literature but can teach English. And when I resumed, they wanted to shove it my way and I reminded them of my statements during the interview. And it was given to someone else. I teach only English now and for 3 classes with 12 period per week. So don't blow your trumpet. Don't say you can take all science subjects because the school at the end of the day will want to save money by dumping all the subjects on one person.

Dust and edit your c.v ,keep searching and you will definitely see the one you can enjoy

Cheer !

You went on a French leave

Soyez le bienvenu.

Daintygal:
finally...I've been recommended at the department! so happy! Thank God! Vivian and Tunapa...thanks too

Congrats dear.

[quote author=tumip post=34092634][/quote]I am not in physics department. Besides, I am not in the school. Ask wunmi13 to check for you.

emperor650:
You said is no more available the last time, now is available ??

Exactly my thoughts.

iyaaliyah:
Thanks much @avicky, I appreciate. Can she start attending the class before payment? M sorry to bother you, am not in that line at alll.

I am also not in that line. But she can google and get their contact to make enquiries. They will be writing November diet soon.

iyaaliyah:
@ Avicky, Thanks much. She did education. Accounting Edu. Pls whats NTI?
Any other suggestion? God bless you.
!





Let her enrol for PGDE under NTI that's if she didn't do education in her first degree.

Since she did education already, then there's no need for PGDE. NTI means National Teacher's Institute.

Let her go for her ICAN as artisticallyart suggested.

iyaaliyah:
Hello. Pls am asking for someone who is a teacher. She just lost her job and she has not been finding it easy. Depression is almost setting in for her. I want to tell her to further her education, maybe a training or professional exam in her field or something pending when she will get another job but since I dont know any professional exam someone who is in is teaching line can do, how can I advise? So pls, does any one has idea of what exam shr can do,training or something for teachers to keep her busy and also help her as a teacher.
Pls, help me out. Thanks.

Let her enrol for PGDE under NTI that's if she didn't do education in her first degree.

tumip:
thanks! if it was pasted on the department's notice board, why hasnt it been pasted on department of Physics notice board?

I wouldn't know. I checked the courses first in the pg handbook before it was pasted on the board. So you can also check the pg handbook too.

tumip:

It was pasted on the department's notice board.
English Language /literature
