Parents can be dramatic at times as we have seen in this recent video of the woman confronting her kids teacher.

Most of these kids can come home and narrate issues not as they were but as they feel it is.

I used feelings. Kids can easily feel things differently and exaggerate unnecessarily.

I used to teacher a primary school class with 11 kids in total.

Primary 5 then.

When I started, I was preparing them for common entrance exam immediately but I had a problem: most of the kids could not read properly.

Like 5 of them could not read a whole line in their textbooks without looking up to me for help.

Now these are kids going to jss 1 the next year. We all know in jss 1, you're expected to know how to read at least from my secondary school experience.

But there was one in particular that could not read at all.

I had to confront their previous teacher from primary 4 because I found it very sad that they will keep promoting these kids like that.

But she explained that the kids won't do their homework, she can't discipline them because they don't want to loose their kids to other schools (the proprietors instructions).

But I was determined to make sure these kids can read before they leave the school.

It's not small work o. I introduced them to Ugo c. Ugo.

Everyday, they are solving 50 maths questions as assignments. I remember the very first one, none got up to 5.

I punished them myself. Not harsh but since they were not used to any punishment, it was for them.

I made sure they crammed multiplication table from 2x1 up to 15x15.

For the reading, I reduced their break time to less than 15 minutes.

Most of them became better readers but this girl continued struggling. Not improving.

Then I started forcing her to attend my extra lessons. All the others attend after school but she's the only one not attending.

She said her parents don't have money (in the real sense she never informed them about it).

Anyways, I said OK. But she must attend the lesson. So even without pay, I still made her stay for the lesson.

I focused on her reading and maths (you always have to get this foundation right. Aside maths and English.. Reading, everything else from primary school is almost useless).

So we spent extra 2 hours drilling maths and English together.

Into their second term, I saw dramatic changes in their work.

But something happened one day. I gave them their usual 50 questions assignment and she looked at me straight in the eyes and said she would not do it.

I told her if you don't do it, don't even bother coming to school because I'll flog nonsense from your body.

She then said she'll report me to her mother. I told her to try it first.

The next day she came to school and truly she didn't do it.

After marking everything, I flogged shege from her body that day.

The next day, the mother was already shouting from the road leading to school dragging her daughter along shouting and speaking yoruba angrily.

I didn't get a word because I don't understand yoruba.

So I ask her to speak with the cleaner and interpret to me.

She spoke that so I want to kill her daughter. So you single my child out because you don't like her and all manner of stuff.

I could have gotten angry but I didn't. I explained everything to her.

Then I asked the girl to bring her books same as her classmates. They all brought their books.

And proudly I showed her everything. The weekly increases in their scoring from each assignment.

They all read a full passage from their textbook in front of her. You need to see her happy that day.

She apologized and asked me to calculate my lesson fee she's owing but I never did.

I later gained admission into the university. At that time, one of the mother of the boys in my class came and was saying when she took her son to one Ansarudeen lesson, the teachers were really happy because he could solve questions faster and in different methods than all the other kids (he was average in my class then).

But I never stayed to see all of them get into secondary school though.

I remember back then because of the dramatic change in their performance, the proprietor for the first time had to enroll them in an all primary quiz.

This was the first ever time she had tried it because according to her she didn't want to go and disgrace her school in such competition.

Although we didn't qualify but I strongly believe if the foundations had been right and they had been more strict, we would have done better.

Little discipline goes a long way in shaping kids. Kids don't know their left from their right, yet they can be very stubborn in their ways.

As you are entrusting them to teachers, learn to trust their judgments. But more importantly, if there's an issue, don't go fighting.

Teachers can easily neglect your child and watch her self destruct in that school, not only physically but academically.

Instead, go to them to reason with them. Find out the issue. Communicate your feelings and make them understand you and you too try to understand them.

No teacher, well, maybe some and very few at that will ever single your child with the aim of maltreating them.

Even some, will have their best interests at heart while punishing them severely but don't know that they are crossing your personal line.

Communicate this to them peacefully. Don't even let your child to be in the same room while this is going on.

My one piece
your write up and the pix attached does not add up

How can somebody tampered with the kid's hair and fingernail and nobody in the school premises can give a meaningful explanation

No parents have the right to come to school and assault a teacher in name of "he/she beats my child"

If they have any grievances they can take it up with the appropriate channels

exactly but some people think violence is the only way of expressing their displeasure to the extent of disgracing themselves in their children's school in the presence of their children's peers

If your child's hair is cut in primary school it always mean one thing: it was bushy and unkept.

Most of us that grew up in the village know this. Every Monday was inspection day where they check your uniform to see if it's clean, your nails to see if it's short and your hair and teeth.

Teaching goes beyond ABCD. The teachers also want these kids to be healthy.

As a parent if you fail in this responsibility, your kids will often bear the repercussions. In those days, they will use a metre rule to flog your nails or carry a scissors to scatter the hair. If the use the scissors to make two lines in front of the bushy hair, the kid becomes ashamed of his scattered hair, forcing the parent to barb the hair.

This is why I'm not taking this mother seriously because if she loved her child as much as she want us to believe, he'll not be going to school with bushy and dirty hair and nails.

She's a terrible mother and it's reflecting on the kid.
I have one question please...
Do you have a child?
May no body, teacher or whoever not try this with my children..... what happened to communication journal?
See in the days we are in even when they celebrate birthdays you as the teacher or caregiver must never allow the children eat what was given, they are made to take it home so the parents can decide what to do with it..... u now dey talk of hair? So if the boys clothes was dirty the teacher would also wash it and polish his shoes ?
Nonsense.... I sent my kids to school not the barbers shop and guess what, I know the difference

After I have taken my pound of flesh, make the appropriate authorities come judge both of us....
Do u kW how innocently defenseless this children are? For some underpaid, grief-stricken, teacher to want to take out their frustration on the child?
U train children not by application of force but by use of psychology now how many teachers have this sort of training?
How many schools hire this qualified persons for when the child needs discipline and direction?
I will never subscribe to manual punishment when I am raising a child not a cattle please

If you take good care of your child and teach them well, you won't have these issues you're talking about.

The rest are just your paranoia. Kids eat each other's food in school far more than you can imagine.

And more importantly, they are classmate and supposed to be there for one another.

So, if they can't eat their birthday cake, maybe we should make rules so no one celebrates birthdays in school?

And more importantly, the kids cannot attend each other's birthday if they met in school.

Why even stop there, why can't we make rules so the kids don't even talk to each other?

Y'all take your individual paranoia and try to make it into laws for people to live by. It's nonsensical at this point.

These are humans. Not robots. I've seen children who will come to school and can't even eat the "sweet" foods you parents prep for them.

You as a teacher will sometimes remove from your pocket to help them.

There are too many variables in life, let's learn to be more flexible and stop allowing paranoia take over our humanity.

These people assume they are the best or know the right way just because they are paying school fees.

How do you let your child come from home with dirty nails and that is not a cause of concern.

But we must beat the teacher who trimmed the nails?
