You are my 3rd guy. I've only had 2 BF in the past. Or my favourite - I have a bf

That 3rd guy just run o.

Them fit don reach 30 .

Girls wey dey lie with innocent face and full confidence

Rexymania:
Women are born manipulators

I'm telling you.

With sweet voice and innocent face, if you don't use your head eh, they'll manipulate you to wash their pants.

McCordial:
As a teacher, I've faced similar issues and got some great direction from a book called "Teacher Evaluation That Makes a Difference: A New Model for Teacher Growth and Student Achievement." It's been a game-changer for me, especially when dealing with student challenges.
This book is all about shaking up teacher evaluation and giving us practical tips to make a real impact on our students.

* I still have it with me in case you need the PDF copy.

awesome! How can I get a copy

TheRealOwner:
Mine are many, but I'll stick with the 3 most important ones.

1) If the foundation be destroyed, what can the righteous do??

There's a direct correlation between where and how a child was learning in the formative years ( Kg/Nursery/Primary) and how they will perform in later years ( Secondary, WAEC, JAMB, Uni). While there are exceptions, this is undeniable

2) All fingers are not equal.

I mean this financially and academically.

You'll see some students doing so well in school, but can't take advantage of some opportunities due to poverty and/or lack of information and orientation.
You'll also see some that their parents will buy ANYTHING you recommend as a teacher, yet their performances will vex even you that is being paid to tutor, talkless of the parents doing the spending

You will still see some that even you as a teacher will be jealous of them if you are not careful, because they are so good in everything. Academics, responsibilities, social life, good supportive parents, behaviour, opportunities?? everything check

Then there's the last category, those who are from very poor backgrounds, the parents don't give a damn about their academic needs or duties like fees and the students are suffering academically. Many drop out eventually and become just like the parents.

I've once tutored a lady (note lady, not girl lol), who was struggling with Jamb and admission till her youngest sister (age difference 5 years) caught up to SS3 and wrote JAMB and gained admission. Thank God she gained admission that year too but she settled for one funny course in a faraway northern state school because she swore that a child she was carrying on her back and helped to raise can't enter higher institution before her.

There are countless other stories. My experiences there taught me that "Motivation and Support cannot turn an ant into an elephant, no matter what"


3) Despite your best efforts, students will (not) do what they (don't) want to do.

A lot of these students can't really comprehend the gravity and importance of your teaching, even if you are very articulate and sound in your subjects. So if they are not interested, they are not interested niyen. You can force a horse to the river side, but you can't force it to drink. I'll end with that

Value input! You have solid experience

JayromWrites:
Harshest truth?

Can't recall any.

Well, there were days whereby I was overlooked. Especially early days when I was much younger than the people I was teaching.

But over time, it was a beautiful experience

Younger than people you were teaching?

Clinghton:
I respect some teachers especially the serious ones, dem dey chop insult from students who are cultists.

And they (teachers) can't do anything about it, because after school na student dey teach teacher wey f**k up.

That's why teaching in secondary school is tough. Especially from SS1

Jewessgratitud3:
The harsh truth I've learnt being a teacher is... even though we do the most job in helping shape the pupils future through impartation and hardwork, teachers are the least appreciated. Its the lowest paying job and no body sees any good reason teachers should earn better than they do.

Thank God for wisdom otherwise I'll not have been able to cope with this profession. Teachers should be earning at least 500k on the average because the job is not an easy one. It is physically and mentally draining and takes a toll on ones health in the long run. If you dont lose your voice from shouting to be to be heard ( sometimes in a noisy environment) you'll start losing strength/balance from too much standing. I can count how many times I nearly fainted in class after teaching and talking for hours trying to make sure the aim of a lesson is achieved. Cos as you're talking you're also calculating and thinking fast of the next method to employ Incase the one you're using fails. All that can be mentally draining leaving you exhausted at the end of the day, yet no body sees it as a big deal.

Without us, many who can read and write today will not be able to do so or have the opportunity to be in high level positions today.

We deserve much better.

Teachers are really trying sha.

Nimen:
Kids that don't want to learn and parents that would support their even though they nothing about their kid's lifestyles

Some of these parents don't know the implications of their actions. Tomorrow they'll start complaining that their kid has spoilt

DesChyko:
1. You can't stop them from dating themselves (or outsiders). They'd act all meek and thoughtful when you counsel them on why they should hold off for now, but a good number of them don't really give a f**k what you're saying. Once you're out of sight, back to default settings. Damn teenage hormones.

2. Most Nigerian parents do not really take the parenting duty seriously. For many of them, providing for their kids and turning up during emergencies does it. But listening to their children is not something they make out time for. I've lost count of the number of kids who call me 'Daddy' even by accident.

That's it o.

They'll want to explore. Instead of them to learn from the mistakes of others, they are making same mistakes.

Parents these days are something else.

poshestmina:
Whatever we do as Parents/Guardians affects the kids no matter how little they are.

Kids from troubled homes either become bullies or are easily bullied and extremely timid.

Very true. Charity starts from papa house

talented321:
The least salary of any teacher should be around 90 to 100k. Teachers are the most bad treated civil servants(especially primary school teachers) in nigeria after soldiers.

True. Some teachers are collecting 5k! I'm not kidding

All these are not new, just labelling them here for younger generation.

Add yours

Fear women o 😂


They are masters in manipulation.

There are many lines they usually start with.

1. Can you do me a favor?

When you hear this, don't bother asking what is it. Just lockup! They want to bill you!

2. A real man does not...

A real man does not do this... A real man should not do that...
When you hear such from her, Just know they want to convert you to a SIMPle man, nothing real there!



Add yours ...

I'm trying to grow back my scalp, hairlind things.

I noticed that when I rub shea butter on my hair, I feel dizzy, light headed and weak. Even sleepy.

Why is it so?

Nice2023:

Men in heat don't act responsibly...just show me one since u were born?

Since he's in heat and can't act responsibly, he should go to the market square and have sex na

Mhizzard:
that is the question the man will ask you.

It's a pity

MasterJayJay:
They have logical explanation. All the tenants should not be sharing 1 bill.

I wish this could be broken down further

Mister123:
I have been a teacher for more than a decade now, the harshest truth I have learnt is that, the more lenient you're towards students, the more they take advantage of you.

Really. Won't they like you as their favorite teacher.

b3llo:
They once whispered you are wasting your time while I was in class.

Can you imagine!

meditator:
Teaching has always been my favourite profession before a female student of mine told me " God forbid, I don't want to become a teacher because teachers end up being poor", this was after I asked them about their future ambition and none of them chose teaching, I now asked who would like to be a teacher. I left the job few months later.

This is one of the harshest truth or reality of most of those that could themselves in that profession.

So sad. Many who have passion teaching choose other fields because teachers are poorly paid

SharingIsLife:
That they come to school to learn but they resist every attempt to be taught to the point of getting their violent parents to kill a teacher for teaching them.

So sad. Some teachers now don't care about correcting a child

MasterJayJay:
You guys should get prepaid meter immediately before the bill starts accumulating in geometrical progression.

What is one compound? Is it one family that is living in that one compound?

Not family house. For tenants.

Just wondering if there's any logical explanation for this

Mhizzard:
Are you not the one they met when they came.

No.

They've disconnected the light self.

I just want to know if it's the norm and possible explanations for such

westlius:
Why we all say mind ur buz is dis

Family matters dem no dey carry am for head if no b ur Family.
What will be d gain if d woman knows
Leave her husband
Move out with the kids
Probably leave him
And the man will pick one of his side chicks as wife
Who loses at the end

My worry here is bringing them into their matrimonal home. It's disgusting

SUPERPACK:
Seeing lots of people telling the OP to mind his business makes me understand why we have bad leaders in Nigeria. When a politician steals they all jump out to say mind your business, that it's not your money.

Same smelling creatures will still come out here to say women are promiscuous but because this situation it's a man they give excuses.

Charity they say begins at home, until every Nigerian starts seeing evil as evil in their neighbourhood level the country can never be good.

Don't mind them o.

Until things get out of hand

Mhizzard:
But you didn't include that his wife is related to you in one way or the other.

So I'll have to wait till she's related to me? This is their matrimonal home for crying out loud!!!

He can use a hotel. Others never bring another woman into their matrimonal home!

Apply some decorum please!

DaddyRochie1642:
Oga it is not your business

This it's not my business attitude is sickening!! This is why we have so many ills in the society

Beremx:
Did you peep through the window to see your neighbor hitting hard on the love peddler? Oga mind your business o!

Is this what you have to say?
Read well na.

The loud moans were just much. Remember, not every human sound can loud music cover up


And besides it was in the middle of the night, when you can hear even a pin drop.


So you are supporting him?

Teaching doesn't always go straight forward as envisioned.

Sometimes teachers are faced with rude students and many other hills to climb.

This brings the question

"As a teacher, what is the harshest truth a student has ever taught you?''

Roboto11:
I agree.

I'm just making humour.

I just pity his wife and kids

Please before they were bringing just one bill, now they have brought 3!!! The amount just tripled!!!

Everyone is complaining and refused to pay.

Is it right for bedc to bring 3 bills for one compound?

Why is it so?

Isn't it supposed to be just one?

I heard they are giving a lodge nearby 4 bills, I just weak!!!
