Thanks for the heads-up. The issue is that if they are born over there, do we need to relocate them back to Nigeria?


Yes. Find a good school run by military, mission or a strong organisation not the likes of chrisland that will be teaching your child p@rn in Dubai.
They can be going on holidays like once a year or two to keep in touch with tech and trends. Allow cousins and uncles/aunts to take them farming, trading, church camp, swimming, squirrel hunting etc. They'll thank you later.

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!

Now, you can see why Britain had gone to hell in a handbasket. As far as I am concerned, the UK is a failed state living on past glory and that's the reason it's fighting tooth and nail to maintain the unity of this contraption, COWGERIA so that it will continue to milk its resources. I hate Britain and you can't even pay me to step my foot on its soil.

Reference:


A police man shot a non threatening civilian in our so called 'disciplined' culture over the weekend.
What school again did the policeman attend and how come in the 'indisciplined' United Kingdom these kinds of acts are not 'cultural'.
But the common thread to all these events is clear.

The fact is, the black man always feels threatened and thus cannot see himself making headway if he is not in 'control', by coercion if necessary.
We see it everyday in our politics, governance, business and work spaces.
We find it extremely hard to manage people of diversity and tolerate dissent, particularly when they do not present in 'our image'.

You walk into a class and see something 'insulting' on the board and it 'blows up your psyche'..... children oh..... then how do you handle 'unruly adults'.... like our ASP.... you just shoot them for 'indiscipline'.

You raised valid points here and I can't argue the point that our system need complete overhaul. My take is that we should not use the western benchmark for civility guide us because it has alot of loopholes. It is true that our police are the worst in world but have it in mind that it is as a result of poor education.
The level of freedom that western countries are given to children will hunt them in the future. Do you know that children in China can not spend more than one hour on tick-tock?
Children in the west are spoiled, unrully, indiscipline and lack the innosence of children.

The author is a typical Zimbabwean teacher; or an undiluted African teacher by extension.

An African relocating to the UK should adequately prepare for possible culture shock. And you must double if not triple your preparation when you are going there to work in an area typically meant for kids. This is because of kids level of ignorance as well as racism and white supremacism.

You were wrong in all cases except one. And the kids were right in all instances but one.

You used the word "angry" on many occasions. You even proudly said that you became angry to the extent of shaking. You also wanted to hit a pupil. The is ludicrous!

You seem not to have a clearer comprehension of the psychology of a child. If not, you would have handled the issues in a professional manner.

For instance, you would have refuted the pupils in a mature manner. You would have told them that they were all wrong.

You should have told them that the distinction between a monkey and a Blackman is that a monkey is a wild animal whereas a Blackman is a man, just like a Whiteman.

A Blackman is a man, and a Whiteman is a man. The only difference is the color.

You should have buttressed and demonstrated your point using two students books with different colors. You would have made your point.

You don't have an effective class management. You left your class because of kids, and then went home. What!

You are the first and only pedagogue to assert that he has never been insulted by students of these generations.

Similar cases happen in schools in Nigeria. You were guilty even without the principle of audi alteram partem.

The only infraction on the part of the kids was disposal of your bag through the window

Okay, 28k per annum is quite small irrespective of where you live currently in the UK . I got a mortgage in the north east around 190k for 3bedroom semi detached. And I and my wife had to do joint application else it will be denied.

Mortgage repayment 650
Council tax 185
Water 30
Electric and gas 150
Internet 25
Tv license 14
Daughter Nursery 185
