The example shared is just like a normal happenings... there are worse things that happened. However learn more about reversed psychology. Read more on how to get white kids attention. Also note that their parents are the main instigator, they speak horrible things about blacks to their children in their homes. Nevertheless many white parents are as Dumb as zombies. They just want to feel superior when they see blacks. Like I said reversed psychology is their weakness. They are not so smart.

I get your point but they don’t joke with assault

Reference:
You went from an autocracy to a democracy and to you this is hell?

Africans are indeed emotionally unintelligent and poor organisers of workable societies. If they are not allowed to rule in feudal set ups they misfire. Is this the famed legacy of colonialism or what?

You don’t need to go anywhere when Tinubu becomes the president, he values education and gives teachers priority.

If they want cruise we will cruise away their time after which I get paid in pounds sterling. If you ask if I’m an idiot I will answer it’s you father that’s an idiot.

LOL says someone who has never written a lesson note before.

Go into one of those classes with your own mentality and come back to share your experience with us. You don't know anything bro. In the next ten years, school education will be almost eradicated in the UK. Come and see how universities are closing down so many faculties and departments for undergraduate programs because no one is attending. Few of their kids go to the university.

If not for Africans and Indians trooping I to the country through postgraduate programs, most of their universities would have been more quiet than a cemetery.

pacespot:
But reverse is the case in Africa especially in Nigeria. The lecturers are the gods here, even you will see a lecturer threatening the students that he can destroy their lives by awarding poor grades to them. Many female students are sexually harassed by their lecturers. Aside the racist aspect of this writer's story of being a teacher in the UK, I think it is an ideal environment to cultivate good rapports between students and teachers rather than the latter seeing themselves as gods to the former.

£28,000 per year means a 'life of slavery' or 'lifetime rat race' What can £2,300 per month in UK do for you? The suffer no be small.

However, if you are a private school teacher in Naija, you can give it a consideration. For government teachers, you are much better off here.

Fake , there is no way ° a difference between a monkey and a black man will be on a UK school board

Lies lies lies

sukkot:
the uk is a land of unique circumstances. you raise your voice against children thats an assault. you may not do time in prison but you will do a few hours in a jail cell . and what do you mean no one can assault you and go free ? maybe in america but in the uk assault is no big deal like that . just depends on who is being assaulted. if its a white woman or children then they will make it a big deal. if its guys or immigrants ? its no big deal

Jokerman:
Lol...

Is this to scare the potential teaching applicants?

advanceDNA:
Relax....the portal will open to nigerians by february...

tishbite42:
How much everything go cost.
Can someone who studied Microbiology apply?

ibkayee:
Lol sukkot this your fear mongering

Teachers coming from Naija and going to the UK will be going from one extreme to another

You'll be going from a place where you essentially have free rein to assault a student under the name of 'discipline', to a place where teachers have minimal rights to enforce it and when they do it's heavily regulated

breeezefe:
Does require teaching license or qualifications?

Naijiriana:
…Sweetheart? Lmao, you go just land for jail one time.

GloriousGbola:
When you get to a place where authority is not by physical intimidation.

Someone goes abroad and says the culture is so strange.

Better stay in your place where the culture is normal and everyone is a bully

Nonsense.

A teacher in nigeria that is doing side business, a hardworking person, would be successful than most people living abroad.
FACT.

Jokerman:

Mumusaphire:
yes. Not only in UK ma. Even here in Nigeria private schools, u dare not touch the students. During our own time, we fear our teachers, but now, students don't fear teachers again. They spoiled them finished just because they want their parents money. No discipline again. Many of them pass in d class not because they know book, but money buys them d result.

WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO BE A TEACHER IN THE UK?

Being a teacher in the UK is a horrible experience — it is a taste of hell.
I was a teacher in Zimbabwe for over 10 years.

I loved my work; I remember assemblies where children would greet us in chorus.
I was proud to be a teacher.

Our students would salute and greet us on the streets, showing us respect.
A misbehaving pupil would hide, show remorse on being found out.

The day I left for the UK, I was excited and convinced that I would make an impact as a teacher in the land of the Queen.

According to Mhofu from Luton, teaching in the UK is no walk in the park.
Mhofu: “You know, if it wasn’t for teaching, I probably wouldn’t have travelled as much as I did. It was the teaching that got me around the world. But here in the UK, I got a rude awakening.

I got a teaching job at a school in Luton which was touted to be one of the best schools. I was grateful and overjoyed. On my first day in class the children looked at me as if they were seeing a ghost. One child raised his hand and said to me: ‘Are you an idiot’.
I was shocked; I was a teacher.

I looked at the child and wanted to hit him but I had been warned never to touch a child or I would die in prison. I pretended I had not heard the child then I heard another say: ‘Hey, are you deaf?’ I was so angry and I walked out to make a complaint to the teacher-in -charge. As I stepped out, the classroom broke into uncontrollable laughter. I had never been insulted by a child and let alone a white one. I was so angry l started shaking.

I walked into the teacher-in-charge’s office. He looked at me and said go and control your class first. I walked back in the class and everything that followed made me sick to my gut. I just had to leave the classroom as l did not trust myself not to take my typical ‘teacher action’ against these wayward children. I went home.

I got a call from the school which informed me that I had been fired because I had no confidence and skills of dealing with children.
I then got another job as a teacher. This time, I was called a ‘supply teacher’ who is equivalent to a temporary teacher. The only difference is a supply teacher is a qualified teacher.

I arrived at the school, this time determined to bring some order. As I walked into the classroom, I saw, on the green board, an offensive statement. It was a question: ‘What’s the difference between a monkey and a blackman?’

Just below it was an answer: ‘At least a monkey can climb trees.’ When I asked who wrote that in a very angry voice, the class remained silent.

I turned to the board to rub the offending statement. When I was done and turned to the class, I saw my bag fly out of the window.
I got angry and shouted at the class. The head-teacher and a few other teachers rushed to the class. The pupils all rushed to one corner and on seeing the headmaster, they started screaming.

The headmaster, in front of the children told me I was intimidating the kids and making the learning environment a war zone. I told him they had thrown my bag out of the window and had written racist remarks on the board.

The head-teacher said he could see nothing on the board and the kids shouted that they had thrown it out after I had tried to hit them with it. I was asked to go home and reflect on my teaching skills.

The classroom is controlled by children; you must do what they want and you must not dictate to them. The head takes the word of the child against yours. Now I am working towards extracting myself from a career I was passionate about and I ask myself why?

Those who are thinking of teaching here must brace themselves for a torrid time.” According to Paul Taruvinga: I had my interview with a teaching agency in the UK before I finished University.

I was accepted and so when I arrived in London in 2003 on my UK working holiday visa, I was ready to start my teaching career in Hackney, East London, an area I was soon to discover to be one of London’s most challenging.

I wasn’t quite ready to settle into a full time job so I went straight for the supply (casual, substitute) teaching. This meant I was running all over the East End, going to different schools every day. It was a great way for me to get to know the city.

It was also a fantastic way for me to learn how to be an adaptable teacher – different students, different classes every day.

One day I was called to the headmaster’s office; I was informed that a child had complained that I speak so loud that the child is now having sleepless nights. I was asked to lower my voice or I would be sued if the child went deaf.

I am not a loud speaker; I was shocked. I could not answer. Then one day I was accused of sexual abuse. I was alleged to have touched a girl-child on the shoulder. I was told any form of touching was abuse. I was suspended.

After three months of no pay, I was reinstated. I now hate teaching with a passion.”

John Dickson: “l was reprimanded for calling a child ‘my son’. When I came to school the following day there was a fuming parent who said to me: ‘Hey, my son has a father at this school now!’

I said I didn’t know about that and then she accused me of calling him ‘my son’ the previous day in class. I went numb.

She went to the head and I was seriously admonished.” The culture here is so strange. There is nothing like stopping students from throwing chairs at each other. The schools here are a complete opposite of the schools back home. Teaching is a nightmare here.
It is the most stressful job in the UK.

Copied!

Lol I think it depends on the type of school, teachers will have different experiences at a normal state school vs grammar school vs private. This sounds like something more likely to happen in a normal state school in a 'not so great' area
