Trained or untrained teachers? Asking for a friend.

Newborn27:
I'm professionally trained...but teaching isn't limited to the four walls of a classroom...as far as you're impacting knowledge, skills and morals into others .. you're teaching.


It isn't just a profession but a ministry.

Maeve7:
It’s like saying that if I give someone pain killers, I am a nurse. You are either a professional teacher or not.

Newborn27:
That is what makes teaching profession unique to others...and why it is underrated globally and underpaid...cos ....just anybody can teach once you have something upstairs to pass down to others.


It's the certification that makes one professional...

That's why we see many graduates of different field of study find their way to teaching without being a trained Teacher.

Take NYSC for instance....80% of corp members teach...when they weren't a trained Teacher...but for a whole year...they were able to fit in.


Teaching is not a profession but a calling.

Maeve7:
Teaching is a profession.

Just because you studied maths or French doesn’t mean that you have knowledge of teaching methodology, classroom management, child development psychology, visualization techniques, student assessment rules, diagnosis tools etc.

I studied pure education in both NCE and degree with my Msc soonest IJN

The certification makes teaching a profession...but everyone can be a TEACHER.

Your certificate makes you a qualified practicing Teacher.

Check the schools around you today and ask the majority of the teachers about their field of study and you'd be amazed how many were not trained Teachers and still delivering their duties effectively.


I wouldn't blame such teachers cos the economy and government made them settle for less as they usually claimed.

The Nigeria of today is filled with private schools owned by people who knows nothing about education or curriculum..all for the personal gain they employ any employable.... reason why we have Moral decadence as the order of the day in the nation.


Even the trained Teachers seldom bribe their way through graduation hence being unable to deliver well.


Let me drop the mic 4 now.

Happy teachers day to all the teachers all over the world.

You people are doing the wonders, tolerating our children's excesses than most of us can do.

May you all be rewarded here and beyond.
