Foreign AffairsRe: Russia Fires Intercontinental Ballistic Missile In Attack On Ukraine, Kyiv Says by Nicoddemus(m): 5:41pm On Nov 21, 2024
Akalia:
Russia can never run out of stock. Russia wants to bring the war to a conclusive end ASAP just as the US did against Japan back in 1945 when "little boy" and "fat man" were dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

Truth is, Russia is being fought against by NATO using Ukraine as proxy. In the end Russia will come out on top. You will see.
Russia started the aggression have common sense Sir
EducationRe: Why Are Private Schools Like This? by Nicoddemus(m): 7:16am On Nov 11, 2024

As a teacher in this particular sch, I and my colleagues have been completely dissatisfied with some of the school's anti-worker policies.

There's no decision or policy that favors the teachers. We are always at the receiving end of every decision.
For instance, as a form Teacher and also a teacher of Mathematics, I must ensure that my students eat their foods(Lunch). I must monitor them closely to make sure they don't take their foods home. They must finish their food.
If any student absents himself/herself, I must call the parents to check. Failure to do so would be akin and tantamount to insensitivity and lack of care for my students. These are JSS3 students we are talking about. But if the teacher is absent due to one reason or the other, same parents would not bother to check on the teacher even if they are aware.

Here's the most annoying part for me. I have a student. A new student who just came in in September. The child hasn't been doing well. The parents came on Open Day and met with me, we discussed on the way forward and how we can help the child to do better. This is a student who cares less about studies, so it is almost difficult to help him. Today we concluded our second Continuous Assessment Test and almost every teacher whose subjects had been written have all marked their scripts. I told this particular student to go round the teachers and get the scores of all His subjects for me. They offer 18 subjects. But to my surprise, the proprietoriess told me to go round the teachers and get his scores. She said so in the presence of this child. This is a woman that knows how busy I am as a Maths teacher, I barely even sit in my class cos I am always up and doing. What's wrong in a child carrying out this simple task?

Some supervisors came from the Ministry of Education a few weeks ago, and they noticed that we over pamper the children. They told us that they hope we have a university for them, because the way we are pampering them, if they go to higher institutions with such lackadaisical & nonchalant attitude, they will fail. So it's either we reduce the way we do it or we build a university for them to continue the pampering. It's not like the sch is a big sch where parents pay heavy sums as sch fees. Fee is 40k per term.

As a teacher, if a student fails to do your assignment, and u discipline that child, the proprietoriess will blame u. And if u don't discipline that child to Correct him/her, and same proprietoriess finds out that the students didn't do your assignment, she will public scold you. Shout at an erring student, it's a problem. Flog the child, it's a problem. Talk to the child, it's a problem. They will find a way of misconstruing your words to suit their narratives. A student can insult u and u won't do anything. If u do, they will label u as wicked. They will ask u why u can't see the child as just a child and overlook things. It's really frustrating.
You can imagine catching a JSS 2 student doing test and exam malpractice, if u deduct the child's score, it's a problem. If u flog, it's a Problem. I once deducted a child's score when I caught him him cheating in an exam. I mean, this boy had the impetus, guts and audacity to open his Maths notebook and be copying directly to his exams script. I used my red pen to deduct just 10marks, and in the end, I was told not to deduct any score. It was said right in the presence of this same student, and other students present there. I was weak. Very weak.

Some parents also try to bully teachers cos they are backed up by the school owners. After all, a customer is always right. If a Parent contracts u to have a private lesson for their child, and such parent refuses to pay you at the time they should pay, and u dare ask for your money, u could be in hot soup. The parent might call the school owners to report that you're harassing them and you will get the blame. In fact, the school owners tell u what to charge them.

The proprietor of the sch is who understands all these, but his wife is different. His wife is so sentimental, biased and emotional and unfair when judging cases. There are three staff there who can never be wrong in her eyes. Three days into my assumption of duty there, I was told about this by some old staff, but I doubted until I found out that what I heard was actually the truth. I believe a Boss should carry everyone along and not love some and despise others. She goes as far as gossipping about her staff with other staff(her right-hand staff).

How can a Proprietoress who was once a teacher in someone's sch boldly tell her staff that their Future end here in her sch, and that the students are now the future. And that the children will be more successful than the teachers? . It tells a lot as to how she sees and perceives her employees and reason she mistreats her staff. She has placed a limit on us that we can't go beyond where we are.

See, I love teaching and God knows. I'm so passionate about this profession despite the fact that it is almost not a lucrative job. I have taught in Nine(9) private schools, in four(4) different states of this country so I'm well experienced by God's grace. But this sch is something else. The only good thing is that they don't owe salaries. Never.
Did I hear you said you have taught in nine schools with a poor salary?
youre just a mediocre, with low self exteem and mental laziness. watch it else youll die poor.

I dont think you love teaching more than i do. the day i went for teaching interview after my graduation I thought from physics to chemistry into biology with its relationship to mathematics that the owner of the school had to suspend protocols. He gave me automatic employment there and then with salary higher than the oldest teacher.

but when I started and saw the realities about teaching inspite of the privileges i enjoyed i resigned after just one term. the school nearly ran mad but it did not deter me.

I rolled up my sleeve and started hustling. the first week i stared my own little business i made my whole salary in a month sad
today i can pay all those teachers salary with my one man business angry

I never said that...

It takes investigation to decide if the teacher was stupid or not

Do you think that being a teacher means that someone can't be stupid?


We have seen a lot of stupid adults
I've nothing to tell you just continue with this your stupid woke way of seeing things

As long as it takes your brain to rewire. The only thing you can do to help it is to keep on exposing yourself to the "danger" until the brain begins to accommodate it. Secondly you need to maintain an open mind and don't try to bottle up your vulnerability.

However have it at the back of your mind that this present configuration is not your natural self. It's a stranger and will go with time.

What is happening to you is one of the dangers of trying to live an upright life without adequate water
