How can you be a good teacher if you fail to say the question you asked that was answered by the student?

Please what is the difference between a teacher and an educationist

I'm almost certain there's no question in Physics that warrants such answer in O level

As an ex teacher, I’ll advise you to make your decisions based on the settings of the school. Do not be hasty.

That year when I was teaching, I disciplined a student and his mother came to arrest me lol. She said the money the boy will eat till he is old is available, that he doesn’t need to learn.

In another event, I reported the child to the principal, Omo na so them sack me and turn the matter for my head based on say the pikin papa dhe contribute to the school.

Why did you give them assignment on Gas law? Gas law is not related to SS2 first term syllabus.

What questions in gas law will make a child answer "Masturbate" outrightly? No question at all.

manmade:
Please, science student — or should I call you a scientist — tell us, what exactly was the question? There could be a thousand and one questions on gas law, and it depends on the student’s understanding of the question, which will determine their response or answer.

JAOS:
avoid any indoor meetings with her cause she might frame you then warn your class not to write any thing like that to you again or the person will be publicly call out ,
Report her to the principal if she write it again

You don't know if she was joking, testing you or something else behind it...

Whichever one it is not a good sign.

How can she be making such an expensive joke with you? You are the one supposed to be giving her academic tests and not the other way around. Whatever is behind such an answer can not be a good thing.


The school doesn't allow physical discipline. So what parameters are they to punish erring students? A school system must be built on the foundation of reward and punishment. I advice you follow whatever parameters for punishment the school supports.

I won't say more than this but I wonder the kind of society we are building and awaits the future generation of these children!

What was the question? Let's start from there

Should I call her aside to talk? Or report it to the principal ✅ or class teacher ❌?

?

TheAdvocate:
Don't ever talk to her alone. Get another female teacher to join you but don't report the student. You may be able to help her out of something deep.

Hello house,
I just need some advice abeg.

I recently got a teaching job this term — I’m in my early 20s and I teach Physics to SS2 students. I gave them an assignment on Gas Laws last week, and while marking, one of the girls wrote “masturbate” as her answer.

I was honestly speechless. I didn’t even know how to react. The school doesn’t allow flogging or any form of physical punishment, so I can’t just “discipline” her the old way.

I’m trying to maintain professionalism, but that answer really shocked me. I don’t know if she was joking, testing me, or if there’s something else behind it.

Should I call her aside to talk? Or report it to the principal or class teacher?
I don’t want to embarrass her, but I also don’t want to ignore it.

Teachers and educationists in the house, please, how would you handle this kind of situation?
