Mutuwa:
yess o! private lessons and gift request..and one thing is dt they work consecutively.which was yours?

I detest private lesson(to me, its extra burden), and I didn't have much to spend on books and practicals so I usually didn't mind when I was sent of those classes. Moreso, I was a very good girl so my name was hardly in any noise maker list.

Not all teachers are satisfied with their salaries, so rather than asking for a higher pay, they figure out a way to make extra cash through some of these means:
PRACTICALS
Guess this is where most sciense teachers get lucky. So, my little bro comes home one day asking for a tuber of yam to take to school. He said his intergrated Science Asked all of them in the class to bring a tuber of yam each for 'starch test'. Do the maths yourself. There are over 25 students in his class which equals 25 tubers of yam for one practical. Oh, not to mention this teacher takes JS3a, and JS3b. Show of hands, who doesnt wanna be a Science teacher now. *winks*
PRIVATE LESSONS
This is the biggest way to make money. Most teachers even make more money from organising private lessons than what the school pays them. But of course, conducting private lessons isn't a crime but becomes one when the students attending these private lessons enjoy certain privileges that non-attendants don't enjoy. Privileges like AOCs, "favouritism", etc thereby making the other students opting for private lessons even when they don't really need it. Who wouldnt do anything to make an extra buck?
SALE OF BOOKS
Yea, this is very rampant. Teachers buy the textbooks at discounted price from the publisher, then forces the students to purchase them at a higher price. Reminds me of when my Business Studies teachers wrote a book on Shorthand and forced us all to buy despite the fact that our Business Studies for Junior Secondary School had 3 whole chapters dedicated to shorthand. And of course, no textbook, no test/exam. The books are compulsory, even more than the tuition fees.
FRIVOLOUS FINES
Fines, a good way to take advantage of students. Almost all offences are 'fine-able'. I remember back then, anyone who makes the Noise Makers list pays #20. Same goes for speaking native languages or coming late. Sometimes, the students are promised a NEW waste basket with the money but most times, the cash goes to the teacher's Pocket.
ASKING FOR GIFTS
Well, maybe I attended a secondary school that's located in a village, but I do know that everytime I come from a long break, mostly christmas, I hear teachers subtly telling students not to forget to bring their own share of the goodies. The request is usually subtle or playful but we all know that the girl who always brings teachers stuffs gets preferrential treatment. Don't forget my Ileya meat my muslim pals, else...
Agree with the list?

Not at all! Can't be satisfied with a Non progressive life

Note: The colour of the brick depends on your preference. You can simply paint the brick area red, or mix colours to add more interest or old look.

Another option is:
-cut wood to desired tile size
-fasten unto wall with either adhesive or nail
-paint the entire surface any paint color you want using a paint brush.
Okay... enough talking, this is what I mean:

Following!

Uuuh... stay tuned

4
Affix blue painter's tape to all of the grout
lines. Use a trowel to put 1/2 inch of
spackling paste over the area. Clean the
spackling paste off the blue tape grout
lines with damp cloth. Let dry completely.
5
Paint another coat of spackling finish on
the wall using a textured paint roller. Let
dry completely. Peel off the blue painter's
tape.
6
Use a sponge to add color to the brick.
Dapple red to the entire brick and let it dry
completely. Add a dapple of black, gray,
yellow and white over the red. Let each
color dry completely before adding the next
color
7
Clean brushes and equipment with soap
and water. Let the faux brick dry for 24
hours before replacing electrical plates and
wall hangings.
And this is the final result

Experiment : To see if wood can be painted to look like brick
Apparatus: Soap,primer, paint roller wooden panel, ruler, coloured chalk, painter's tape, trowel, spackling paste, sponge, paint
Procedure
Remove any electrical plates or wall
hangings attached to the wall. Clean the
area with soap and water to remove
grease, dirt or dust on the wall and attach a wooden panel to the wall(optional, you can paint on your wal directly if you want)
2
Pick a primer for the color you want the
grout lines to be. Pour primer into a paint
tray, and load a regular paint roller with
the primer by rolling it back and forth in
the tray. Cover the wood completely and
let it dry for two hours or until primer is
completely dry.
3
Measure the brick out with a ruler. Bricks
are typically 3 inches wide by 7 inches
long; allow a 1-inch space between the
bricks for the grout. Stagger the bricks in
the rows so they will look natural. Use
colored chalk to mark the outline.
