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.

May God open new way for you

adeoyekay:
May God open new way for you

Amen. Thanks

Well it's wrong to flog a student tho

The parents can do that at home...


No violence in British or American curriculum schools

In moderate private schools , flogging is allowed in a case of stealing or hooliganism. I will support that.

However teaching job is not worth it in Nigeria.

Very few exceptions

Concerning the eating of lunches,you should not force the kid to eat the lunch if the kid does not wish to but you should at least report that the lunch was not eaten. I mean that is not a bad idea.

As for making certain parents are informed of their child's absence, I don't see anything wrong with that? Just be certain that the one paying for the phone call is the school and not you.

You will use your airtime.
That's not a problem as far as I'm concerned. We are all humans and adults, we don't need to be Told about some of these things. But why should we be compelled to do so when they can't buy us airtime?

Technically, the child should not be the one collecting his own record from each of the teachers. So you teachers along with your proprietor should come up with a more efficient and effective way of sharing records without having the kids do it for themselves.

That one should not be your own business at all because you are there to school the kids as the parents want you to. And I would not trust the Ministry of Education in Nigeria when it comes to what is right or wrong for my kids.

Then you teachers should come together and demand the school refunds you all for the airtime used for that since your private phones are yours and businesses should not eat out of it. The teachers can form a union to ensure they are not shortchanged in this.

It's not like that in all schools. I guess your employees are not interested in the betterment of the students but to populate the school and make money through the students.
They are not called teachers but enterprising teachers. Unfortunately, some of the students will find out later and may certainly call out the school through social media. Meanwhile, if you get the balls, you can change the status quo. First by trying to be the best you can be and by maintaining your righteous stand and wisely passing the message to the proprietor. Of course, you may be fired, but, at times that will teach them to accord some respect to the teachers.

1. No point in all that stress though! Just report the kid to the parents every time the kid fails to do an assignment. Let the parents handle the disciplining of their child. You should not punish the child... that job belongs to the parents.

2. What were you told to instead do in that case? Whoever told you not to deduct must have told you what to do instead. If the suggestion given was to allow the cheating, then you have every right to invoke Ministry of Education level rules against such acts and have the other teachers weigh in. Cheating is unacceptable and should not be condoned.

The teachers there are all women. We are 42 teaching staff in bothe the creche, kindergarten, nursery, primary and secondary. Out of the 42 staff, only five a men, including me. But even the men still act as women. They are controlled by the school owners. Three weeks ago, I was informed that I would be given management position in the school, but I politely turned it down. Why? Because as a management staff, my suggestions will never be given due consideration so what's the point? There's also no special salary for that. I told my Boss, that I will always come up with ideas to better the sch and act the way he wants, but I can't accept the role of being a management staff. He was shocked.
Now we can't have a union. They won't allow it. Cos they will see it as a rebellious union. I first taught in 2012. And after a term in that sch, I was made the dean of studies and chairman of staff welfare. I was so so close to the sch owners and was highly influential cos I was extremely dedicated to duty. That's the sch I will never forget . A great sch who wants discipline and sanity

I concur
.I think the OP like complaining too much, as an experienced teacher according to your narratives, you should advise the Proprieties to design a standard rules and regulations guiding the running of the school so una wey be employees go dey follow am, failure which attracts sanctions.

I don't see anything extraordinary in what you reported
There should be standard rules for late coming
Absenteeism
Exam malpractices
Theft
Indecent dressing
Rude behavior

This will guide your actions towards the offender and not acting on conjecture

The child wasn't punished or sanctioned at all. No teacher will weigh in. In fact, the sch owners are happy when there's disunity among the staff

1. IT does not matter the gender of the teachers but the fact that each of them has something they would like to see changed and would benefit from forming a group to make their needs heard.

2. Go study up on teacher unions to realize it is probably nothing of what you are thinking there.

What are the school's established rules as far as exam malpractice? You should know this, quote, and implement this. So what is it? If you are not aware of this then what is the Ministry of Education's policy on exam malpractice? Quote and then implement it.

I am curious, does your school have a rule-book or policy on which teachers base their interaction with the students?

Allotrope69:

Most of us have worked in a worse environment and out of experience I lend my advice.

It can only take stipulated rules and regulations to correct that anomalies

However, send the student to go collect the results from different teachers is very wrong no matter how busy you may be

The experience I had teaching primary five spoilt brats whose parents are rich, I vowed never to teach in a school again. Imagine kids of 10 years threatening their teachers with police arrest? The proprietress of the school pampers the kids and see no fault in them.

1. The students can come together and engage the proprietor on the problems they face when dealing with students and staying in compliance with Ministry of Education rules which every teacher is required to abide by no matter what.

2. All the more reason why you should look for ways to solve the problem and do your best to get people in on it. This might be a way for you to not only make things better for you and others but also build your portfolio as a teacher and manager.

Op just ignore atuero n kobojunkie they just want to talk for talking sake

Op I understand your pain n I was a teacher during my service year, a corper said it that the most humiliating job one can ever do is a teacher.

Nobody respect u

The students don't value u
The parents don't respect u
The school management see u as thrash

In fact I hate been a teacher, I pity private school teachers around.

When I see male private school teachers I see them as d lowest of men

It's not easy cos I have once been dere, the school operates on principles of customers are always right n they place d students over u

Don't mind all those ones talking rubbish there, they have never been teachers before so they can't understand what u are talking about, a corp member had to take transfer to local government cos he can't cope with everyone blaming him

Students who don't read n fail will blame u
Parents who fail to monitor their children will blame u
School will blame u too

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.

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).

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.

What are you still doing there?? am also a teacher BTW

Beremx:
The experience I had teaching primary five spoilt brats whose parents are rich, I vowed never to teach in a school again. Imagine kids of 10 years threatening their teachers with police arrest? The proprietress of the school pampers the kids and see no fault in them.

I weak

It's really sad honestly.

u are an idiot

So a student says a teacher is stupid n we should overlook that n start investigation right?

U really dey craze

Honestly. Reason I refused to replied his comment. He's actually an idiot.

Sharpsharp00123:
Op just ignore atuero n kobojunkie they just want to talk for talking sake

Op I understand your pain n I was a teacher during my service year, a corper said it that the most humiliating job one can ever do is a teacher.

Nobody respect u

The students don't value u
The parents don't respect u
The school management see u as thrash

In fact I hate been a teacher, I pity private school teachers around.

When I see male private school teachers I see them as d lowest of men

It's not easy cos I have once been dere, the school operates on principles of customers are always right n they place d students over u

Don't mind all those ones talking rubbish there, they have never been teachers before so they can't understand what u are talking about, a corp member had to take transfer to local government cos he can't cope with everyone blaming him

Students who don't read n fail will blame u
Parents who fail to monitor their children will blame u
School will blame u too

I'm glad you have an understanding of what I'm talking about. I feel really pained.
