I read a post wherein a Student of a secondary school was expelled for Bullying his colleague. And that is what has informed my decision to write this.

Based on my observation, and the experiences I've had as a teacher, especially in private schools, parents are failing. There's a poor parental responsibility. This accounts for why many secondary school students are misbehaving.
The schools which are meant to correct these misdeeds are rather the ones compounding and encouraging their misdeeds, insolence, insubordination and misdemeanours.

A teacher gives mathematics assignments to students, some groups of students consistently fail to do these assignments, and you can't do anything about it. But the school continues to blame you for that. You ask them to submit their notes for marking, some will not submit, the school owners go round checking their notes to see if they are marked by the subject teachers, and when the notes aren't marked, the teacher gets scolded right in the presence of same students. Like how?. I'm taking about SS1-3 students.

Imagine a student telling a teacher that's he's broke that's why he can't afford an Android phone. The teacher buys a brand new Android phone afterwards, and same student says it's a fairly used phone.

Imagine a student telling a teacher that all his clothes are Okrika clothes and not Ready-made clothes.

Imagine a student telling his colleague that a particular teacher is Stupid and then the teacher overheard it. Yet, no action is taken by the school mgt.

Imagine a student telling a his colleague that a teacher's head looks like a shield.

As a teacher, you can't flog these students and you must be very careful of how you verbally react, because, your reaction is going to be used against you.

If a student commits an offence and you tell you're going to report to the school owners, they are happy because they already know nothing will be done to them.

Students now bring their android phones to sch knowing fully well that its a contraband.
Imagine students gisting themselves of how they watch porn on their phones. No matter how rich I become, I can never buy or allow my child to use an Android phone as long as they are still in secondary school. If they need to do an assignment online, I can lend them my phone. Android phone is a distraction.

I tried so hard to correct all these, but the school saw me as an enemy of the students. I was the best staff for two consecutive years, I was everywhere doing all I could for the school. Even on Saturdays and Sundays, I attend meetings on behalf of the school.

I was suppressed. I'm a no-nonsense kind of teacher. Very friendly, but strict. But somehow, I became a vegetable since I was restricted from doing what should be done.

One day, I got to work, I was really not comfortable any longer, during the break period, I told my boss that I was resigning and I handed over everything in my possession to them, cleared myself and left. Four days to payday, but I couldn't wait. My boss called to pacify me to reconsider my decision, but I said No.
Till date, I never regretted that decision . Parents(some) and my good students(some) still call to check on me.
I'm thankful to God for the lives I impacted. But right now, every passion I had for teaching is Gone. The passion is dead. School owners killed the passion.

My advise to young graduates should be to try as much as possible to learn a skill or two before graduation, so you can fall back to same skill(s) after graduation and earn a living with it. Do not go to any private school to teach, but if you must do so, do not stay there for Long. I repeat, Do not stay there for Long.

Good you left the job. Most private school owners are after money. They don’t want what will block such money from coming.

Mental health ko; lunatic health ni.

🤣🤣🤣
So many instances.

At some point, I became a shadow of myself, felt suppressed and bullied. I was even the Best staff there cos I had "Teacher of the year" Award for two consecutive years. I was everywhere anchoring PTA meetings, graduation parties, as a result of my good oratory skills.
I lost confidence in myself, became a shadow of myself and had to leave. Went to work one morning, and it occurred to me that I should just leave. They were supposed to pay our salaries four days after that day I left, but I couldn't just wait.

VanuatuWycombe:
And they will still fail. A lot of them are reading or reacting to this thread too. Very poor parenting. They raise spoilt children, all in the name of civilization or ‘bandwagonism’.

I'm telling you bro.
These days, a teacher can't discipline a child anymore. Let's even leave flogging. A teacher can't verbally correct a learner. A teacher says something, a the learner misconstrues it, reports to their parents and school mgt, and you start hearing stuff like "Such comments will affect the mental health of the learner".
Imagine a student telling a teacher that he's broke that's why he can't afford an Android phone. The teacher buys a brand new Android phone afterwards, and same student says it's a "fairly used" phone.

Imagine telling a teacher he wears Okrika clothes?

But the sch MGT can't call the learner to order , if you the teacher react, you're in trouble, you'll take the blame for not seeing the insults as a child's talk.

Omorr.. I suffer o

No disrespect intended Sir, but sir, you go soon kpai.
Na your fellow jihadists go throw u overboard very soon.

B.s.t

udemzyudex:
Sometimes it has nothing to do with poor parenting.

Most times, it has.

Warns against diversion?
Lol..

He already knows it will be diverted. In Fact, he's the same person that would still divert it. No be 9ja again?

What metrics did you use please?

🤣🤣

Una funny for dis country I swr.
Just pick Ur phone and begin to reel out unverifiable Statistics.
Some of u need to be arrested for tampering with statistics

How?
I can't play the video, why not write it out Na?

Keep visiting.

Everyone is fighting for their stomach. Selfish interest. Nobody actually gives a hoot about us.

We know there's a friction between you both, but don't worry, keep denying it. Time is a revealer.

Orlandoo:
You are not far from the truth. Some parents are something else. You cannot give what you don't have. The parents themselves lack home training too. And the cycle continues.

God bless you.

If you want to know the actual attitude of parents, look at their kids.

Always making mouth.

Which tight security are you talking about?
But u can't provide same for Nigerians Abi?
Thunder!

Orlandoo:
I can't imagine how the parents and siblings of the victim will be feeling now.

It's Disgraceful.
But this act could also be as a result of poor parenting, I hope you know?

Parents are failing these days. I was a private school teacher for many years and what I saw from students really made me cry.

Cultism taken too far .

I feel for his parents sadly. But poor parenting could be another factor to look into, as to why some of these students behave in such a manner

But this is good riddance. Our society must be sane at all costs.

There are people who bully with their words and attitude, how do we handle such people.

Rich bullies the poor.

I think I'm starting to love Sowore.
Though he won't make a good president, but he can make a Good EFCC chairman.
Imagine Obi as President and Sowore as EFCC chairman?

Good Combo

ZaddyJ:
My dear I don’t have a support even one kobo or fadding but God use someone ( my wife) not related to me to do everything for me to be here in the USA Today .
So there’s nothing God can’t do. Sometimes help comes from where you have no idea 🤷🏾 where it will come from. This woman in question is not even a Nigerian to start with.

I sent you a PM, you're yet to respond Sir .

You could be my own destiny projector

Lithiumite:
I didn't see it.....motun359@gmail.com

Ok

Lithiumite:
We don't want subsidy back and he isn't getting out votes, we meet at the polls.

Bro I sent a PM

Lithiumite:
Your obi and atiku should cone out boldly to tell us what they will do with subsidy, are they going to bring it back or they will also abolish it.....also what are they going to do with the currency are they going to keep subsidising the dollar and create the dual exchange rate we had in the past or they will continue with the current system......they need to be bold and face the people and not all this blanket promises of ending poverty or creating phantom jobs.....we need Policy statements not playing to the gallery serving rice and buying groundnuts and meat pie.

Based on the meeting I had with Peter Obi last week, They will return fuel subsidy

ZaddyJ:
Japa

Why are you doing this to me,?

Where's the support coming from 🥲

HelipsTech:
My help locate you

Amen Lord 🥲🥲🥲

MasterTeeUSA:
Supply just cannot meet the Demand and people are still giving birth anyhow. Materials are expensive, Land is expensive...so its not a bad advice.

Still one must exercise caution. You can also rent 3br or 2br and share..Say for example, 2br is N1.5m...both will pay N750k or just over N60k per month...You can even have 2 couples sharing 2br flats...nothing wrong there ...both will save and build land and build their own from the savings.

If you want advice on life and living, shout me an email.

There are solutions ..they may not be conventional or typical but they can work.

Ok sir.

Kimo21:

I didn't even waste my time reading it

helinues:
Between ward exco and national exco, whose order is superior?

Is this the opposition ADC that have been disturbing our hears with noise be this. Okay now

It is Ears not "Hears" oga.
You always claim to know too much .
And who are the "we" in your comment?
Did we complain to you about the noise to our ears?

Aba is not boiling. Stop all these lies pls. Can the boiling cook Eba?

Came4amod:
I decided to stay lol when I had my own shack .. but I was reduced to a person who almost got killed by police .. if you have normal human as a parent that okay .. but in my case I almost died sadly .. and I have vowed never to contact or even speak to him again ..

I don't understand this your comment at all. Some of you don't know how to write. Why writing like a woman?

How about some of us that have no parents?
Our parents died early and couldn't even build a house before they died.
And we are still struggling.

What are we going to do now?

Life hack? 👀
Man advises Nigerians to stay in their parents’ house to avoid paying rent in this economy. Says he even saw a 3-bedroom flat for ₦7M.

Smart move or bad advice? 🤔

But if senator abaribe was defecting to the APC, would there be this Drama?

Later same tertiary institutions will be complaining of not being taken care of by the government .
People's conscience is so easy to buy.

May God help the masses
