Poor English..this is how they lay poor foundation

Urgent1Million:
You should probably do a little research before throwing punches.
Polytheism is classified as a religion.
Religions such as Hinduism, Shintoism and the traditional African religion fall under polytheism.

Polytheism is the belief in or worship of more than one god. Key features of polytheism include a pantheon of gods and the worship of multiple ditties with diverse roles. Examples of polytheistic religion include Hinduism, Shinto, Taoism and Traditional African Religions (Yoruba, Igbo).
Polytheism itself is not a religion but rather a characteristic of certain belief systems or religions. It is a classification of religions just like monotheism where examples of monotheistic religions are Christianity, Judaism and Islam.

Saying Polytheism is a religion is like saying Tropical Fruits is a fruit when answering a question on examples of fruits (i.e. mangoes, oranges, pineapples, peaches, oranges, etc). Tropical Fruits is a group of fruits like Mangoes, Pineapples and Papaya.

If you are a teacher teaching pupils that Polytheism is a religion, you need to be sacked.

Is this a joke? My 4-year old daughter would listen 10..
Just last Thursday was her graduation to Nursery for that matter...she can define culture, religion, water, types of culture, sources of water, classes of foods and maaaany more...she was put to test openly on Thursday..I was nervous..she boldly answered all without mincing words

How are you asking a child in nursery two to list hospital tools for you? Or to mention types of religion? Nursery two! This is absurd.

I have long had reservations regarding the quality and standard of this particular school in question. The school has no culture of excellence and is staffed by absolute mediocres. Needless to say, my son will not continue in that school again.

You too follo for the problem, check well, e get children wey answer the question(s)

Focus on his wins, no be like say him fail everything. Encourage your child.
You'd rather take him to where he'll learn a is for apple abi??

And a 5-year-old wrote those answers

See ehn...you know that kids of this generation are wired differently.

They're more intelligent than older generations at their age...this is due to many factors like exposure, environment, etc.

You'll be shocked that they know the answers to these questions so why not stimulate them at their level?

Early Childhood Education has changed a lot.

So it depends.

The questions below are what my son a five year old in nursery two got asked in his exams. I don't think such is appropriate for that age.

This is what happens when missionary schools employ people without a sound background in education.

The belief in, and worship of a god/multiple gods defines religion.

I mentioned examples of polytheistic religions.
Maybe you should prove me wrong with citations and not just typing "polytheism is not a religion".

There's nothing wrong with learning something you don't know.

Brother. Take correction. He is write. Polytheism. Isn't a religion .. from the name Poly- Theism meaning "Many - gods" . It's not a religion itself . It's a classification of religions.

You might want to do a Google search on that .

Madam, know it that maturity age has really dropped. Children of 3 years old are already doing great in education.
Their brains are grasping much.
We are trying to adopt Western methods and we should be ready for it.

I believe they have been taught those things that were bn asked.
After all they were not asked to write.
They will be asked the question, and the teacher will write down the answers the pupils gave.

If you feel uncomfortable with what they are doing in the school, go to the school and have a discussion with the school executives.
Alternatively, withdraw your child from the school.

Oga twelve year olds are learning to write code and training artificial intelligence models.
Education is dynamic and forward thinking.
Rather than this pointless rant,help your kid become more competitive.

How can a child in nursery two be using burp

I mean how can the handwriting of a child in nursery two be like what you posted

Cooommmonn gerrrra here

I think you are the one that is not using ur brain well.
Common sense should have told you that the teacher will ask the pupils the questions and when they answer, the teacher will write it down in their books individually.

I stopped responding to those quoting me without doing a simple google search.
But since you mentioned it, here it is.

What they taught me in primary 5 is what they are teaching my son in kg2 now. Sometimes I am worried these work are too much of kids.

pdppower:
The pupils must have been taught in class before the exam. Why would the teacher ask if she had not taught them.

Are these the type of questions a 5 year old child should be taught?

Dey there dey deceive unaself. When you teach these kids at higher level, you will realise they don't have foundation to build advanced topics on because they have been deprived of opportunities of building proper foundation. When they suppose to be teaching them elementary subjects that will build their foundation for future advanced works, the teachers are busy teaching them nonsense. I told from a perspective of someone who has taught secondary school students at a time. I know what I saw.

Mister Excuse you Your rude tone is unacceptable.

Just because you taught at a low calibre secondary school with seemingly unprepared children doesn't mean you should generalize pls.

Kids of 5 today have the mental capacity of 10yr Olds back in the day.

Stay off my mentions if you can't engage without being rude..Mr Teacher.

Bye!!!

I wish you know the school in question. You see over the course of my little teaching experience I realised two things, first, most schools don't know what to teach pupils. Two, even the parents don't know what they should expect their children to be taught. It is as if many parents didn't get quality education themselves to understand how a child develops.
Why should anyone teach children in primary schools topic they will still learn at the higher schools? In mathematics for instance, basic arithmetic that will help a child understand and process some difficult topics that the child will encounter as he/she goes up will be jettisoned for some advanced topics in primary schools.
I have seen primary school pupils taught things like pythagoras theorem, change of subject of formula while the same child cannot handle basic LCM and HCF and it is thinking like yours that promotes it. You people will say children of nowadays are more intelligent than their ancestors as if human anatomy and physiology have changed.

By the way, sorry if my comments sound rude but believe me your conclusion is simply a self deceit. When you interact with modern generation of young adults, you will understand that they are not as intelligent as their counterparts of old. Ask yourself, why is jamb and other institutions in the country dropping cutoff marks for admission into universities? If these generation of modern kids are more intelligent than their peers of old, competition among them should be pushing the cutoff marks up and not dropping them. When you teach them in schools, they virtually need to be spoonfed and the schools particularly the private ones are set up to create illusions in parents minds that their children are doing well.

Note that I said "seemingly unprepared "

How will you know how to solve pythagoras theorem or other advanced maths but can't solve LCM and HCF I don't get.

The foundation is warped.

Any child of ths generation that falls into this picture you're painting is as a result of so many factors....mostly the parents(economic level and exposure)

Parents these days want to be woke...they don't even correct their kids let alone allow someone else to do so.

There's a school I know where if your child is admitted, na you and the pikin enter school...you will redo primary and secondary school.

The school banned all gadgets during terms...they will remind you the patents every week ...no tv...no Playstation...no phones...no smart anything.

If your child makes the mistake of taking any gadget to school for even weekend classes, you forfeit am niyen.

When you see their results, you go bow...(mind you they may not be shown to the whole world)...they're prepped for A-levels right from SS1 so tell me how your child won't be well grounded after graduation from school. There are many schools like that.

I understand your point about the poor quality of graduates these days...trust me I know first hand...we once conducted interviews for about 200 candidates for some positions and we could barely get 15 "capable" hands/minds

It's a terrible situation but I insist you cannot generalize.

Septagon:
I wonder how some of you think because it was taught in class means it's a must that a 5 year old will remember?

Then your child must be very dull, my son is just 3years but can define so many things.... When they answer this question, the teacher will write it in their books for them. I can tell you for a fact that I don't know our current national anthem but the boy will sing it correctly to the end. You are underestimating the ability of your boy. You also have a duty to teach your child after school or when you are back from work ... Don't leave your children's education to only teachers

Thank you!!! Tell them

This is why some state govts started searching for ECE certified and TRCN certified teachers. Not every teacher is qualified to be in the classroom.

Then parents must be involved for the best outcomes

No,it is not always the children of that class that write the words.
Their part is just to mention the answer as they know.
The teacher will then write it down for the child and then marks it and score the child' s brilliance

That's not a school. At that stage, they should be busy with identifying colours n shapes and doing simple arithmetic. Take your child elsewhere

They taught us this in higher institutions sef. In one gns course like that in year 1.
