When the head is rotten, what do you expect from the whole body.

You are hereby recognized.

That will do you a lot of good this week.

GboyegaD:
I was talking to a group of teachers recently and you can tell they are not allowed to admit basic first aid. The discussion was due to us being called that my nephew who is a boarder had cold and we should come pick him from school. You know they gave us this consent form to sign that should our wards die in school, we wouldn't sue Lagos State Government.

A teacher also mentioned how she almost got sacked for administering paracetamol. The parent if the child claimed they only use herbs for their child and it became a big issue.

It is unfortunate what we have turned things to but what can we all do?

I own a private school. You can be arrested for administering paracetamol. Infact when health officials come for inspection and they check your first aid box, they don't expect to see any form of medication in it. They will tell you that you are operating a school not a clinic. And that should you have an issue, you should call the parents before even taking the child to the hospital. I have challenged this severally but this is how the government wants it. It is their policy. Only a concrete law from the legislature can change this.

In the midst of the crisis, the teachers did everything but rush the boy to the hospital.

They even got someone to drive him home.🙄

Lol! When the people are poor, nobody thinks straight.

If the boy came from a rich home. They would have taken him to hospital.

Who would have taken care of the poor boys medical bills?

While peer pressure is so real and livid, the best way to protect your kids is to make them read about lots of stuff outside their normal school books. There is something reading does to your brain that peer pressure cannot erase.

When I entered school, primary to an extent, secondary and university, there was no vice I didn't know about. Even if I tried any, it didn't stick.

Dysfunctional family produces such kids

Why the emphasis on sons?

Drug abuse is not limited to a gender.

Don't you have a qualified registered nurse making the sick bay?

SAMBARRY:
If you don't have time or resources to raise decent children, close your legs or use condom

Those you are advising cannot be found on Nairaland, but are in different slums across the country. So you should rather visit them there with megaphone to drive your message home.

Continue writing nonsense and allow your life and that of your family to be rotten.
Don't take care of your future. Keep blaming politicians or supporting those who don't know your existence.

Everywhere in the world, government only do little things. Your life, future, fortune all are in your hands.

for the clicks
well done sir

fyzaila:
Schools should start searching their students before entering the school everyday likewise parents too.

They will find other ways. Schools should be equipped to counsel students and teach them to search their own ways even as they come to school.

I hope that singular near death experience will teach that young Man to stay far away from any drugs and any unknown substances..

Why is the school not having a clinic or sick bay where first aid can be administered to students .

Who go pay kwanu. Assuming they could get the parents to answer call that would have been a different thing.

Remember payment is both in cash, and in kind if anything happens to the boy

Hahaha, better update is on the way.

dmxnairaland:
Fair enough, you are correct. The youth are morally decadent and into hard drugs.

But I didn't see you say anything about the adults that run the cartels and gangs that they get the drugs from.

Yes we all know this supply of drugs has its chain of ladder. But still the people I still see and know selling them are youths, I won't lie to you.

NDLEA allows people to report anonymously

Trust Nigerian enforcement institution at your peril

All this evil started the day government gave orders that teachers are not allowed to discipline a child.The level of immorality is high because teachers are afraid of correcting the students because of the government and parents.The society can't grow when the law doesn't put strong punishment for offenders.The parents too are too busy to train their kids properly.Many of the parents take drugs in the presence of their children.Many use words that children don't supposed to hear freely at home.We parents should try and focus on building a decent home than a wealthy home.

Just like my mother did to me and my siblings,I am extending the warm treatment to my kids. I search their school bags almost everyday when they are back from school and in the morning before going to school. Trust me,this is a very valid and important move.. you might be training your kids positively and well to the best of your ability,you still need to monitor them to eliminate peer Influence early on. It's like Cancer,once detected early,survival chances are high. My 2cents!!

Yes kids are now spreading drugs in schools to their peers it didnt start today but it is getting alot worse and schools need to do antidrug awareness programs.

Next time Just leave him there he will not die make him suffer am.

zoghys:
Tinubu definitely has a lot of fault but this is never one of them. Families built communities, communities built local government while local government built the state and then the country. Discipline starts from our individual homes, so the parent of the boy should be held responsible.

What role model is Tinubu to the young ones?

How much discipline can you start in your individual home when the successful people in society are leaders looters like Tinubu

Parents should not only pay attention to their mail children, they should also pay attention to their femail children

It will be naive of you to think there's anything called "anonymous" when it comes to snitching on drorg dillers, that same agency will be the one to give them your house address and phone numbers, or any means to reach you after they have collected egunje.

Wise up o.... Nigeria is more corrupt than you know.

ukfootwear:
Imagine what our young generation is currently doing omg 😱

My guy ss Students now are students by day...yahoo boys by rest of the day.
They all have Facebook accounts for bombing in their spare time.
Most of them have senior bros and sis who empower them with these tools and mindset.
It's really eating slowly.
I went for a pta meeting at my daughter's school after closing hours and I could spot some group of students in an empty class doing these classroom dance videos while recording or prolly live

...as a parent, honestly I don't know how to protect my kids once they are out of my sight.
I dunno but solely depending on God and the love I show them

U nor know say pikin dey hide things these days
Hard drugs na small thing

Just imagine...

We are in a Colos epidemic

We have said it is important to pay attention to your children's education and associations. You must do that.

The Carrier should be expelled
