If the student does not give you the respect you feel you deserve — assuming a student calls you stupid—, what do you think you can or should legally do about that?

I would say the school policies regarding such situation matter though. But ideally it shouldn't be condoned. Dismissal of the student from the school is in order

✓ Terrible school owners and terrible parents are the only ones derailing the thread/CS. One ode keeps saying western country 😂. Whiteman ass licker, we are in Nigeria, Africa! We have our own culture and how we raise our kids. Pikin wey em no train from home go chop better training outside bitterly.
✓ Take your kids to the market or any public place and tell them to call anyone older than them "stupid" and see if they won't give you are your silly brats reorientation.

You mean how you were able to raise a nation of over 150 million people who are utterly useless against a minority 0.0001 % kakistocrats?

You mean how Nigerians parents raised a nation of over 150 million grown individuals who lack ability to critically reason their way out of problems that have been solved 1000s of times over in other climes?

You mean how Nigerians parents raised a nation of over 150 million grown individuals whose don't understand their rights and their own laws? The vast majority take the law into their own hands on a regular basis when it comes to bullying those weaker than them then turn around and wonder why crime is so rampant at all levels of the society.

You mean how Nigerians parents raised a nation of over 150 million grown individuals whose social and emotional intelligence levels leaves so much to be desired? ...

I can continue....but come on! Are you really this obtuse with all that is happening before you in Nigeria?

2. So, if a child is assaulted for calling someone stupid, you don't know that it is in fact a crime and the one who assaulted said child is open to being committed to jail term and maybe also a fine?

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.

Any school where the administrator is woman and also hv an office in the school .....run

Any school where they favour staff bcus of their levels of eye service. Run

Any school where the woman hv more power and don't often regard her husband input or advice RUN OOO

Any school where they pray alot I mean any small thing fast and pray ...with some idiots among them alwys trying to lead the prayers
Run run and run

Any school where they don't flog or scold student ...u will be unfortunate in their presence

Any school where u have one particular over zealous staff either male or female .... mostly female who is yet to settle down but carry madam work for head ......kill them they will make ur sacking from the detention camp fast


Any school where u can only report to someone to discipline the student and not u them oga ur prick is not working in the students eyes so no respect


Any school where u have a snitch among the staff run

Any school where the proprietress is a prayer worrior RUUUUN.....the day she is seeing her period ...under mood swing she will not answer ur greetings

Any school where the idiot owner walk around like a king or queen and u hear big mummy or big daddy is coming.....ogbeni wat r u still doing there run na.

Most Private school workers Don't like themselves they only pretend watch out for idiots among u .on hearing the owners voice he or she runs....that's the snitch

As for pay ...they may pay u as at when due but they bribe u to forget the rots and u end up wasting years with them without knowing

You have never raised children before, have you?

Come to Abuja and earn big as a mathematics teacher. Children that pay 500k per term dont even behave like this. Or just leave the school.

Your choice there to remain in denial of the facts before you point to you as the irredeemable one in this case. 😁

You couldn't directly counter any of the statements I made nor could you answer the question asked. So you took to attacking me thinking by that lesser being approach you could maybe score yourself a ghost win. that is what stewpid is. 😁

adeoyekay:
May God open new way for you

May God help us to work together to make our state lawmakers and governors prioritise the people’s money for the employment of professional teachers who are well paid, to ensure every single child is educated free in primary, vocational and secondary schools. This is the essence of the PDP established UBEC since 1999.

Don’t you think that this is a better prayer for the society and the individual

Kobojunkie:

I know people like you that's why I'm not stressing. You are far from reality and the internet is the only place you can portray your stupidity. Just keep at it and don't bring it to the real world. Western culture advocate. Your offerings grow up to be like the house of rep member that harassed the uber driver because they were not properly raised.

Leave the rod and spoil the stupid child!

mhiztaNexy:
So what's the name of the school?

I don't know it because I don't live around it or have anything to do with it.

How did we even get here in the first place. An African kid is very stubborn and will never take instructions if not compelled. Most of u sighting British curriculum must understand that these are different climate and temperament from the kids.
Is it China than once the communist party passes a rule even flowers obey. When it was covid we saw how it was a simple problem just putting on a face mask.
In the end there is still plenty of work to do in the Nigerian educational system.

Kobojunkie:
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.

How can you monitor/make a JSS3 student eat his lunch. This is bullshit

Op, what you are experiencing is common in private schools, of course, you should know better if, truly, you've taught in 9 private schools.

You should have been aware of these before taking the job, therefore find a way to strike a balance for yourself and yourself alone.

If you do not trivialize some of your experiences, hoping to get something or somewhere better, you may be overwhelmed with frustration.

You must truly love what you're doing, in order to flow with what comes with it.

Do not flog students if it is against the school's norms.

Do not deduct such high (10) marks from your students in event you caught them cheating.

1 mark deduction is enough to pass a message to such student.

Do not think the students will become as intelligent as you are in just one term.

Don't think it is almost impossible to help a poorly performing student, there is always a way to help such student. You don't tell that to a parent because that's why they brought them to you.

See, whatever you call a problem is automatically a problem to you. Always see those students as kids and friends because that's what comes with the profession. Cease from discussing the bad side of the school and the owners among the teachers, because it will add to your frustration and then discourage you.



In all honesty, you are in a bad employ but you may not totally be right.

Above all, look for a better job to do.
How could you have worked in 9 different schools and you still believe you will get the one that will be a perfect one for you?

Most of the private schools owners are modern-day slave traders.

Work out something for yourself.

So, the reality of Nigeria where over 150 million people who were raised in compliance with your spare the rod and spoil the child mantra...

✓ people who are devoid of understanding of their rights and laws
✓ people who lack ability to critically reason and solve even the smallest of problems like water supply, erosion and even sewage management..
✓ people who lack near adequate social and emotional intelligence believing that violence against the weaker beings is the way to garner respect
✓ people who lack the guts to stand for what is right but would rather stand on. The side of their oppressors...
...you conveniently and completely ignore. All this in order that you can , against common sense itself, continue to assert that foolishness of the past be maintained? Are you sure you are OK?

If you have ever worked cafeteria duty, you would know how. There is nothing Bullsheety about it as these are in fact things that Are done in many schools around the world as we speak. 😁

Do you get? Not nursery, not kindergarten, not primary school. Primary 5 sef get as e be. The thing dey vex me I swear.

Allotrope69:
But it is right for a student to disrespect a teacher and even insult the teacher? A student told a teacher that she's stupid

The teacher can correct the students but no flogging should ever be allowed.It is only in Nigeria and Africa employees beat their customers (the students),whenever a child misbehaves call in their parents to do the punishment or refer them to a child psychologist.I am sure you wouldn't want a child to collapse in your arms.
Children behave in some way due to family influences( toxic environmemt,domestic violence,sexual harrassments,some medical condition like dyslexia,Narcolepsy.

You need to take into comsideration in dealing with student their psycological background.

Schools should never be a master and servant relationship environment when grooming children but mentee and mentors who will go out of their to make sure they produce quality student.

You take care of their physical,mental and social well being of the students.You are service provider not a correctional officer.

Me and teaching work no align.
With what I saw during my service year. I would rather have my child go to a well disciplined public school with ethics than a private school to be spoilt.

It's the same thing everywhere..not just private schools...
That's why patients and their relatives disrespect and assault doctors,nurses and other staff in private hospitals and they are pampered by the owners.

The MDs of private hospitals ALWAYS take sides with their patients and their relatives.

Everybody is doing business.

Instead of complaining,find a way to enter govt work or quit Teaching completely.

Afterall,the aim is to make money.

Good luck

So dumb of you to think it's a Nigerian mantra.

PROPER ASS WHOOPING ISN'T NOT VIOLENCE BUT CORRECTION METHOD/ DISCIPLINE USED IN EVERY PART OF THE WORLD.

Look at the western culture you are promoting, it bred the stupid woke virus that's killing them.

Violence is kids carrying weapons to school to kill other children because of emotional imbalance and lack of proper home training.

The other rubbish you typed is a result of greed, bad governance and corruption. It doesn't connect to the main topic in anyway. Spill it in the politics section or shut the F up.

well dis ur case is like a fisrt son being disrespected on the family and when he reports to the father, the father support the younger siblings to continue dia act....d simple solution is leave that school and apply for a teaching job elsewhere and leave the school for them to control.....diaris nothing you'll do dat will change anything I dat school since the proprietoress is wired to be like dat

What are you still doing in a female dominated profession? I was a teacher and I will never go near that profession again. My brother go into tech. Tech would improve your worth and value than teaching. If you want guidance I can offer you.

So in all your complaints, you never complained about payments from the school which means you are paid what seems to be enough for you and on time too. This used to be the major complaints about most private schools.

Secondly, you put the school picture there and said you were a class teacher amd maths teacher. You could create more problems for yourself if any of the 3 cabal staff or your employer reads this.

Thirdly, when you get to a place, know their modus operandi and adjust. All the things you are doing are things that they did to us while growing up. Flogging, deducting marks for cheating and the likes. Times have changed. I was a teacher for more than 15 years and i know how tomes actually changed before me. From the joy in flogging students to not even thinking about it because that's not the way anymore. You need to find a way to reach your students. It must not be your own way. You must be intentional. Look for modern materials on teaching and update your software please. Be ready to change. It must not be your way. Many teachers aren't insisting on beating and all you think will help the kids and the kids are alright. So don't be arrogant and try to learn ok. Nobody like seeing their kids flogged. I say this as a parent.

Fourthly, it's not about the owners of the school but you and your students. There should be joy on seeing them respond. I had this kind of joy while teaching in a remote school during NYSC. Maybe my experience as a teacher also helped. They hated maths and Intro tech but when i started, it was something else. They all responded. I even brought TD and the students were happy. The whole village was. Till today, we still relate. Many of them are married and have their jobs and businesses, they've gone through the university and all and we still talk. Create that relationship with your kids and you won't have any reason to complain. A child should feel bad when the child disappoints you. They should not want to disappoint you and not because you would beat them. They should want to impress you.

So pls stop complaining and begin to improve k. And about your bosses, pls forget them and just do your job. And stop calling parents because of lesson money abeg. Send a not through the kids.

Do JSS3 students actually take their lunch boxes to school?
I thought the OP was writing about primary school until I came across that paragraph.

Kobojunkie:
Yes, I have! Now, please, answer the question!

If student A called student B stupid, what do you think student B should do to student A? Think carefully before responding!

I think you as a teacher should address their problems right there. Call them together, listen to their issues/complaints…make the aggressor or the student using such language understand that’s it’s wrong. Ask him/her to apologise…they should make up before leaving your presence.

Teachers are supposed to act as parents to the kids.
Now if your sibling calls you stupid, what would you do? call him/her stupid back? report to your parents?

Would you call your parents stupid?

It is very wrong to ask students to go round and collect their scores from other teachers.
That is very wrong. There should be a more professional and efficient ways to collate such data.

illicit:
Well it's wrong to flog a student tho


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

Spare the rod and spoil the child!

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.

Please, leave the school if you and get another job cos that woman is using you and the rest of teachers like you.

■ So dumb of you to think it's a Nigerian mantra.
■ PROPER ASS WHOOPING ISN'T NOT VIOLENCE BUT CORRECTION METHOD/ DISCIPLINE USED IN EVERY PART OF THE WORLD.
■ Look at the western culture you are promoting, it bred the stupid woke virus that's killing them.
■ Violence is kids carrying weapons to school to kill other children because of emotional imbalance and lack of proper home training.
■ The other rubbish you typed is a result of greed, bad governance and corruption. It doesn't connect to the main topic in anyway. Spill it in the politics section or shut the F up.

1. Comprehension dey elude you?

2. In every part of which world? The world inside of your head abi which one?

3. And here is your showcasing the very dearth of critical reasoning ability among Nigerians I was referring to earlier. That Woke virus you are so afraid of is the reason why many Nigerians today would gladly — and have been doing so en masse by the way— to those Western countries where those Western cultures are more tolerant and accepting of them than their papa/mama land ever was and could be in their lifetime. You can't see this because obviously, you are too blind to see what has been right in front of you all this while. The terrible consequences of our ways of raising children in Nigeria... is the nation that is Nigeria today... a nation where the people would rather brave the desert and swim the deep sea to escape to the Western countries with their Western cultures and Woke life.

4. Western culture does not tolerate violence. Hence the reason why kids who resort to violence in schools are adequately punished by the Law and system in their countries. In those countries the Law works and the people respect and do all that is necessary to ensure it is upheld no matter who violates it.

5. See this one! So the reason why over 150 million Nigerian adults living in Nigeria honoring their oppressors by doing absolutely nothing to get rid of them, all at the same time seeing absolutely nothing wrong in attacking the weak and the poor when they can get the upper hand over them, is not to be blamed at all? It is the greedy politicians who are to blame for all of Nigeria's problems? 😂😂😂😂😂😂

Topic? You claimed Spare the Rod And Spoil the child but Nigeria is a clear example of how using the Rod produces nothing but a nation of millions of incapable, majorly corrupt, and morally bankrupt people lacking critical reasoning skills and ability to chart a meaningful future for themselves and their society as a whole.
