Why correcting her?? Were you assigned to disciplinary committee?? African is born to lies

Some people talk as if they never passed through any form of discipline. A teacher correcting a pupil is doing the right thing, Only an empty skull would see that as wrong. People like that need to stay off this society before they ruin the next generation with their ignorance.
Imagine what you would've become if your parent fails like that pupil mother.

After punishing that child, did you pull them aside and talk to them about why you punished them? Sure, superficially they may understand why they were punished, but children see things differently from how adults do, and as their teacher, you’re to make them understand the effects of their actions on their development, and why and how it ties to the punishment you meted out.

You could have also skipped the punishment and just given them a zero on the homework, and asked to talk to their parent(s) or guardian. As a kid, there were many times I was downright brutalized by sadists posing as teachers, who were just itching for a reason to practice their sadomasochist fantasies.

I don't even have to read the post before answering. I was just talking to someone about this a few days ago, and what I'll say is this, parents are have a huge role to play when it comes to the rot in our society today. Parents stopped disciplining their children when they do wrong.

That's a huge problem , we're not in the west, we're in Africa, we are in Nigeria.

Last week, something happened in my class that left me thinking deeply about parenting and discipline.

I gave my students homework on Friday, to be submitted on Monday. Come Monday, I noticed one of them quietly scribbling away in class. I walked closer and yes, she was writing the same homework I gave days ago.

When I asked her, she denied it immediately. Boldly. Without blinking. I felt disappointed, not just because she didn’t do the homework, but because she lied.

So, I raised my voice a little (in love, not in anger), and told her to kneel outside the class for lying. No beating. No insults. Just correction.

The next day, her mother stormed the school.
“Why did you bully my child?” she asked.
I was stunned.
Bully? Because I corrected her child for lying and doing homework in class?

That moment made me realize something. Many parents today don’t want teachers to correct their children, yet they still expect those same children to grow into disciplined adults.

Dear parents,
When you defend your child’s wrongs instead of addressing them, you’re teaching them that lying is fine as long as someone covers for them.

Discipline isn’t hatred. Correction isn’t bullying.
Teachers are partners in raising your children, not enemies.

What do you think, should teachers stop correcting children to avoid being misunderstood, or should we keep doing what’s right no matter what?

Half truth

What did you say to that child?

You must have said something that had nothing to do with the assignment. Parents ain't robots

Love800:
If you command my child to kneel down outside under the sun, i will drive inside the school-yard the next morning to correct you.

Stop inflicting injuries and aches to my ward!

Just imagine!

Maybe you should homeschool your child then.

All these anomalies can only happen in a private school. I'll keep saying it, proliferation of private schools in our primary and secondary educational system is more of a problem than a blessing. They can't correct and control the children. They can't even ask a poorly performed student to repeat a class. Everybody must be promoted at the end of the session. 🤥 WTF?

Apt.

Private School proliferation is more of a problem than a blessing.

I know of a case with a neighbour of mine, her kids (11, 9, 7) have attended at least 5 Schools in and around our neighbourhood.

There was a time that they didn't go to school for close to a Term and half and lo and behold they all move to the next Class in a New School. They have done it twice now.

The decay started when Yahoo Boyz started having wives and children. Morally dysfunctional people became parents in the last decade. We are in on a long ride now. As a parent just hold the standard in your home and early one, screen the type of friends your children will have. That's all

That child will surely grow up to be a torn in the flesh of that woman in future which will make her seek out pastors and lament that her child is under a spell.
Solomon the wise once said "spare the rod and spoil the child and also that child you fail to discipline will surely bring disgrace to you" and that's what we are seeing today.
We have taken wokeness to dangerous levels that's why we are now raising a godless and morally bankrupt generation of kids who are becoming useless teenagers and adults. It's a pity many people have eyes but they cannot see.
Women are not meant to raise kids alone as they are the greatest destroyers of kids today. Check out that ill behaved teenager or kid, the mother must be encouraging their bad characters.

Parenting in Nigeria 🇳🇬 is gradually decaying and certainly it's going worse every day. The advent of social media has made it even worse.
This is just the beginning.
We have failed in Parenting in this country.

It was the so called good parenting that gave us these armed robber politicians. It can't go worse than this.

Mama wey you for deck

The current people running Nigeria and living in Nigeria were mostly raised by strict parents. Where did it lead us?

Just tell me this is a made-up story.
Really?
A mother came to ask a teacher why she punished her child?

Things have really changed o

Teach what please. Discipline should be the first subject in any school. Disciplined humans build organised societies. If Discipline, honesty, neatness and other values can't be taught in school, then let the children go and learn their Mathematics and English on YOUTUBE AND UDEMY.

She will reap the fruits of her seed sooner.

My brother wetin parents dey do now, is so disappointing. You need to see my neighbors children. Its terrible

Employed to teach them what exactly?

That it is okay to be dishonest and a liar?

You think education is all about learning your ABCD?

Olatara:
Like the guy above, you were paid to teach and not to discipline.

No dey stress yourself. If she doesn't do her home-work, document it and make it known to the school authority.

That's the schools and parent problem to deal with.

So there’s no consequence for not doing an assignment? Hmmm it is well

VillagePipu:
Not every child will grow up useful.
Not every child will be successful in life.

As a teacher, your job is to train children who end up successful. Your job isn't to train every child.

Parents have a part to play in a child's success or failure. You also have your own part.

Some children are destined to cause their parents heartbreak in old age. It is their destiny.
Their parents will go all out to ensure that destiny is fulfilled.

Use your tongue to count your teeth.

🤣🤣🤣

Why didn't the child do her assignment?? Isn't assignment part of Teachers duty??

This is how you spoil the next generation by listening to the lies of the devil that one should not stop discipline children thereby destroying the future ahead

God word said, spare not the rod

Even Lagos state government has implemented it in government schools, that teachers cannot flog or discipline children anymore

They call it bullying

I have seen parent who goes to their children school to fight the teacher just because he disciplined his child. The boy later dropped out from school.

Lying is not good. Kneeling outside the classroom isn't good either.

It's not easy to train children. If the older generations were better trained, why is Nigeria the way it's? This is my issue with this "old generation were better disciplined" rhetoric. How is it shown itself in nation building?

Oga while I respect your dedication to work and the teaching profession, I will tell you what a principal told me during nysc at a school somewhere in Aba, abia state in the mid 90s. He said enter the class, teach who is willing to learn, when you are done just leave. I was Surprised he will say so. Anyway na so I do, entered the class, just about 5 students were focused on the teaching, the rest 30 or so we're busy doing all sorts, playing as if there was no teacher. Omo, I taught the 5 and left. That was the routine, enter the class read out my note to who ever will listen and leave as adviced by the principal.
Omo, they had confra in that place and I heard they even "hit" a teacher once hence the advice from the principal. A student once said he wonders why he is wasting his time coming to the school, that if he had gone to Ariaria market by that morning he would have made a handsome amount of money.
Guy sad as it may seem, just do your work and leave, don't get yourself into trouble ontop showing concern for your students.

This is a very wrong decision made by LASG.. someone should sue them for intent to cause future chaos in society.. hw do u correct a small child-is it by reasoning with d child that doesn't have wisdom yet?
