I'm afraid the place of education in our present society is in grave Danger. I'm really taken aback by the goings-on in our education system.
Here is why I said so:
Last term, I had a student in a class, a JSS 2 student. This kid is notorious for not doing his home fun and class fun. I had spoken to him in class and also in Private, I made him to understand that it is wrong not to carry out his functions as a student, so he promised to change but he Never did. Now, the sch I teach is a private one, I'm a teacher of Mathematics. And whenever any student fails to update their notes or do their assignments and classwork, the teacher involved, gets the entire blame. I mean the whole blame. I kept getting the blames despite my hard work solely because of this same kid.
At a point, I became so furious and had to raise my voice on the child. I didn't flog or punish him, same kid got home & told his parents that I was threatening him. The parents called my boss to report and my Boss called to tell me that I should be easy on the child and that the parents were childless for about 12years in the marriage until they had this same child so they pamper him a lot since he's the only Son. When I heard this, I shook my head and said ok. From that day, I decided not to bother myself again about the child.
This term, we resumed on Monday, I gave resumption test and the child didn't write the Test even though he sat for it. While marking I found out he didn't submit at all. I got angry and told him that he MUST do it and submit the next day. When he got home, he said I threatened him and that he wouldn't want to continue schooling here again. Immediately the parents rang my Director, and told him to either sack me or change me to another arm of the class(jss2), else they withdraw their child. Considering my dedication, the director didn't give in to their demands, so they withdrew the child, and the director refunded the sch fees they had already paid.
I'm not bragging, I have almost all the experiences required of an ideal teacher. I am not the Best but people know I am Good.i thank God for having the support of my boss.
Parents are really killing Education, they are contributing to the fall in the standard of education. It's really very sad.
