Truth is, most parents believe it's the just n of the teachers to train there kids, this is why they neglect them and end up making kids who are damaged. |

SAMBARRY:When you're done spewing the gibberish that has nothing to do with the post nor my question then you should come back to reality and answer appropriately......are you in support of extrajudicial justice system and would like to be a victim of it with your entire household eh mini Yekini?. |
| Re: My Take On Parents Confronting Their Kid's Teachers As A Former Teacher by Major7: 11:26pm On Jun 07 |
Mattswaggz:I came from a decent and law abiding home. I don't pass my boundaries and while I was young,other parents use me as a yardstick for their kids cos I'm cool and lovable. So no nonsense comes to me. Besides I only speak the truth but doesn't mean I encourage extrajudicial justice system. Nigerians are stubborn,they tends to act like animals at home but get to US or UK and start behaving well, some people naturally needs flogging 😂 |
| Re: My Take On Parents Confronting Their Kid's Teachers As A Former Teacher by Mattswaggz: 11:30pm On Jun 07 |
Major7:I am never against discipline as well but call a spade a spade....the teacher is wrong in this case and the mother has every right to react in annoyance.....and supporting extra judicial justice system no matter how small it is or because it favors you is part of the reason why the country is the way it is today.....it is why a police officer can threaten to kpai someone and say nothing will happen.....it is why someone innocent can be keeled by a mob on mere accusations etc. |

Mattswaggz:I'm not supporting the teacher cutting the hair but some parents loves to tempt their resolve. Why would a parent for instance plait a boy child hair to school,use an expensive pendant on him to school and the likes and even hold the teacher responsible if the pendant goes missing? My uncle once did this nonsense but I told him he's wrong. My mom wasn't just a teacher but an H.M as well,we saw shege growing up and as a child,I wish she was dead but the old witch lives on 😁. I grew up to realize she's a blessing to me and my siblings. Discipline pays off eventually and it's a blessing in disguise. |

Gbadugbakun:Why don't you do the teaching yourself since that's what you feel a teacher is supposed to be...... You will go all out because your child's hair was cut off.... The hair you see him/ her carry unkempt around your face and you did nothing .. but you will pay influencers to drag a teacher over your failed parenting... Anyway, this is why the society is becoming what it is today..... |
| Re: My Take On Parents Confronting Their Kid's Teachers As A Former Teacher by Mattswaggz: 11:54pm On Jun 07 |
Major7:There is hardly anywhere you won't be tempted or pushed to the wall as a human being...how you react is what differentiate sane from insanity, civil from uncivil.....the teacher should simply report to the school authorities or check the if there are methods in place to handle such misbehaviors....if the outcome of reporting to the authorities or the methods put in place doesn't satisfy the teacher then he/she can consider resigning.....if this was a saner clime, this kind of actions can get the teacher to jail. |
| Re: My Take On Parents Confronting Their Kid's Teachers As A Former Teacher by Major7: 11:57pm On Jun 07 |
Mattswaggz:You're right 👍 |
| Re: My Take On Parents Confronting Their Kid's Teachers As A Former Teacher by JASONjnr(m): 11:58pm On Jun 07 |
Stephen0mozzy:If your child carries unkempt hair before you and you do nothing about it, but will arrest a teacher for cutting the hair only describes you as a failure... Is like some of you deliberately raised irresponsible children and send them out for trouble..... |

Phred1717:No school collecting 800k as school fees will pay their teachers less to make them transfer economic aggression on any child.... Stop lying. No teacher will give a 7yrs old 100 frog jump.... You sef lie small small na .. All to discredit the system, you might not be happy if the teaching profession will stop to exist because parents like you find it easy to destroy the profession. |

JASONjnr:To great extent, I believe the bolder. Eager to heap every instances that they have failed as a parent on the teacher. It was never like this before, parents and teachers worked hand in hand to instill knowledge and discipline in kids. The wannabe ideology has now eaten deep into many mentally conquered parents that, they don’t even know right from left again. Neglect, indiscipline and unconsciousness has become fashionable. “Team talk to the child” will tell you that, when your kid insults his teacher, just sit him down and tell him why it’s bad to insult his teachers” They tell you that’s how it’s done in saner climes and why the worst set of kids and teens you will find on Earth are from same saner climes. |
| Re: My Take On Parents Confronting Their Kid's Teachers As A Former Teacher by JASONjnr(m): 12:18am On Jun 08 |
HacheNoire:Just like insecurities and gay activities, I am beginning to believe that there is a power behind this sudden change in the norms.... Parents telling teachers to focus solely on teaching and not punish their kids but expect positive outcome from the teaching -learning process... I taught as a corper and I understand the teaching profession and during my teaching career i experienced so many dirts in the system where students will threaten a teacher and get away with it because the child's parents is influential. |
| Re: My Take On Parents Confronting Their Kid's Teachers As A Former Teacher by HacheNoire: 12:23am On Jun 08 |
JASONjnr:Sincerely! Even when I don’t want to relate it to spirituality, I still would want to agree that it’s spiritual. But also, the wannabe spirit is real! Once you hear them say “in saner climes” just know you in discuss with a mentally conquered individual who is trying to be what he is not. |

Host78:As a parent you don't need to confront any teacher unless they've been molesting your kids Confront and hash it out with the school Management instead |

mjblinks:And I am saying that life is not fair. I can assure you that children are also manipulative. Kids are very observant and they will test their limits. The more parents belittle teachers in front of children, the more the children will know what adults to respect or not. I agree that teachers should never abuse their authority, and extreme unfairness should be addressed but I also think we have swung too far in the other direction of over analysis and corrections. Back then, parents understood that not every disagreement or punishment required their intervention. Sometimes a teacher was strict. Sometimes a teacher was wrong. Sometimes life felt unfair. Learning to navigate those situations was part of growing up and a child needs to learn that. That's the wisdom parents back then had to know not to interfere with everything even if their child sometimes received injustice. What made the system work was that parents generally treated teachers as trusted authority figures, almost like second parents. If there was a problem, many parents handled it discreetly rather than turning every incident into a confrontation. As a result, children learned to respect teachers, even when they didn't always agree with them. This one is coming to social media and who is going to see the post? The world! She will only tell us her side to the story but we may not know what is the fill picture and she won't give us any update that makes her or her child look bad. Everyone is nice on the internet but we all find it difficult to see these nice self righteous people offline. Today, it can seem as though some parents feel obligated to respond to every issue their child experiences at school. The unintended consequence is that children may learn that whenever they face discomfort, criticism, or conflict, an adult will step in and solve it for them. That can interfere with developing resilience, accountability, and respect for authority. These are skills they will use for life to navigate their way through this unfair world. Teachers should be fair and respectful but children also need to learn that not every situation will feel fair, and not every authority figure will handle things perfectly. This is real life. Part of becoming an adult is learning how to deal constructively with imperfect people and imperfect situations. Parents and teachers are on the same team, but sometimes supporting a child means allowing them to work through a difficult situation rather than rushing in to fight every battle on their behalf. This is why I said let me see how she will be there for her child 24/7. One day, they will have to fly themselves using their own wings. |

YOU DO NOT CUT A CHILDS' HAIR WITHOUT THE PARENTAL CONSENT!!! DON'T BE UNFORTUNATE! I feel like the parents under reacted. God forbid but someone like me would have that idiot arrested because wtf! |

Host78:Teacher flog my son that I am aware is stubborn and cane mark show in his body, his siblings pick it up and was trying to incite me to act I never did instead I told him it's good for him because am aware the boy is stubborn. The moment this kids don't fear their teachers it's difficult for learning to take place except the ones with good home training. Most of this kids spend most of their days at home so parents should be the primary teachers especially in developing morals. Back in our days we got flogged even in cruel manners because it's the only language some of us can understand then but the world has evolved and has termed it barbaric then we have to deal with the consequences. Most of these mothers are the one responsible for this bad morals from this kids and are fast to pass little faults to teachers. It is well. Btw, my comment is just on this post because it's unacceptable to cut a child's hair without consent even if the schools have rules involve the authorities to take it up with the parent. |

Everything in Nigeria is loosing value courtesy of many Nigerians anyhow Ness. That being said, no teacher have the right to clip someone else's child in school. |

Leepeak:This post made me laugh. I grew up in an era when discipline in schools was the norm. My take on the current situation is that the lack of standards across board in schools is one of the problems that has caused this issue. If per adventure all primary and secondary schools had the same standards when it comes to discipline so that what obtains in school A and school B from a disciplinary point of view is the same, then parents will have no choice with regards but to realize that if their children attend any school they will my subjected to the same disciplinary standard across board. So if the parents know that their children will not be able to behave appropriately and avoid discipline then the parents can opt to home school their child. That being said barbing a child's hair by a teacher in my opinion is not discipline and it should not be tolerated by any parent. |

Parents are often the architects of their children's misfortune. It's mostly borne out of an indulgent attitude. They'll do anything to make life "easy" for the children without realising that a child needs to understand the need to make his/her personal effort to achieve meaningful and enduring results. That's why we have graduates who are no better than secondary school students. It's so unfortunate. Years ago, I was shocked when I took my son to JAMB Exam Centre and saw parents paying teachers and invigilators for whatever reason. I simply told my stunned child that he has prepared sufficiently and had no reason to fear. All through my children's years in school, (up to SS3), I got to know their teachers, house masters etc and always made it clear that we don't tolerate indiscipline at home. That way, even if the school policy allowed some laxity, they would inform me of any misdemeanor. The children knew and so they complied with the rules. Some parents never show up in school to monitor the progress of their children. That is why the woman never knew how bad her daughters situation was. |

NwaliE01:I agree with you on this. But the teacher's action in this particular hair cutting incident was wrong. Unfortunately mama use the incident to go viral(wrong move) instead of handling the situation discreetly. |
| Re: My Take On Parents Confronting Their Kid's Teachers As A Former Teacher by NwaliE01: 3:55am On Jun 08 |
Mandem05:Thank you brother for pointing out. The legislatures would also spell out the limit of the teachers vs parents. There's what they call working with Children check (WWCC) in the Country where I reside. It's an online documentary of all the workers. If a teacher mis-step, it would be registered on the his/her number and would not be able to teach or work in a cooperate space. Parents or individuals cannot personally update the WWCC, but through an independent body that does carry out investigation like the police, DCJ ie judiciary, or Federal Chararcter. There's no consequences for people's actions in Nigeria including the arm forces. |

Gbadugbakun:Oga, no one said any teacher should go and shave a pupil or student's hair!! But if it unfortunately happened to yours for instance and you are obviously uncomfortable with it, seek redress from the teacher. He/she may have had their reasons. Act professionally like a learned man!! Then express your concerns and why you think the teacher may have gone too far!! Believe you me that the incident will not happen again while your child continues to get proper attention with discipline and morals. Don't act like a genz tout shouting why will they do this to my child, yen yen yen yen yen!! |
