I am completely against teachers ASSAULTING their students altogether.

A teacher can penalize a student— send him out of the class, fine him or something— but never punish the student. Punishments should all be handled according to school Policy as signed off and agreed upon by the parents instead.

Let me tell u this, if u dare send a student out of class, you're in trouble. No matter what.

I pray you will open your own school my Brother

OK! So, what then are you allowed to do as far as penalizing a kid who is causing a nuisance during the class, for instance? Stop telling us what it is you can't do and start telling us exactly what the school rule book allows for these things.

You are right but I intend to use this avenue to let others who are instead willing to do something about their situation know it is not as hopeless as they may think.

Sincerely I don't know what that guy is up to. Some people can be so annoying. I have vowed never to reply him on this forum Again.

Kobojunkie:
A teacher is training, not punishment. Punishment should be left to the parents. What part of that do you not understand?

Any child wey dem no train for house, must be trained outside

They are after profit
The environment is toxic
Walk away early

He is NOT.

On this thread, He is the Smartest.🙂

Yours truly, you do not Punish a Child in school for every Wrongdoing.
If Obi Cubana or Davido or Akpabio's child is in your class,
Can you punish him even if he says Ur Papa is Mad? 😏🤨

As for the OP, he is not speaking like an Experienced teacher.
Someone who has taught for Long should know how to meander his way out of all these Complaints.

Maybe na FRUSTRATION Sha.

Very very easy to say because you are not in his shoes

I have very low tolerance for bullshit to be a tutor in a private school.

Jokerman:

I don't follow... you let life train the child or do you impose your own idea of training on the child? Try to be more specific here so I follow your line of reasoning.

EzehFx:

I had to recuse myself from replying him, cos it appears like he's not a sensible person.

Once in a while try to have sense pls. Why talking to the op with such disrespect?
Some of u here are just so terrible. Someone came out to open up to us and this is the best u can offer? You're not in his shoes so it's not your fault. You're really embarrassing

What in the world are you rambling about now?

Are you dense? Of course, OP is frustrated! That much is outright clear from his OP there.

He believes all he holds to he does so because he cares about the kids when in fact he does not care as much as he lets on. He is more interested in a situation that works at his level of social and emotional intelligence rather than that which is more logical as it should be in a school setting.

**Yawn***

Go and find a job and stop complaining. Private school job is slavery and that's what you signed for. If you like go to the best school in Nigeria, the condition remains the same.

I am a Teacher.

I have a Bachelors Degree (B.Sc) in Geography and Planning.

I have experience teaching in both Primary and Secondary School.

I am also very skilled at teaching Maths at Primary and Junior Secondary level.

I am a WAEC Examiner (Geography). I mark WAEC Examinations in my Subject Specialism Geography.

I also have a Teaching Certificate called TEFL Certificate (Teaching English As A Foreign Language) that can take me abroad to teach English Language in Asia.

I'm still in Nigeria o but the day I left teaching in Nigeria was the day my life changed.

A time is coming soon when Parents will end up leaving their jobs to stay back at home to teach their own children by themselves because there would be noone to teach your kids.

I can just imagine Baba Femi who doesnt know Maths atall struggling to teach his 10yrs old son Mathematics.

Mark my words.

I'm out.

Sometimes I want to quit too but you don't know if the next place will be worse. Our experiences are similar.

Allotrope69:
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.

No be Addin be this?

All these stories. I got tired of reading . Why can't you quit . Is it a cult? Because I'm sure that a school collecting 40k per term per child can't afford to pay you anything reasonable .
