Tear them or.
You are a product of a terrible teacher
Go to any school and ask the students to identify the subject they dislike most. Many of them will chorus “mathematics”. What makes student harbour a passionate hatred for this subject still remains a mystery for most educationist  .

. Many reasons have been proposed . One which seems to be overlooked is the fact that students do not feel connected to the subject in anyway  . Imagine spending hours finding ” x” when “x” is neither your brother or your sister only to search for “x the following day. It is not only routinal but boring. The student begins to wonder whether to use the same formula to find his biro.  This is because the teacher failed to explain to him the application of these formulas in real life situation.

Many mathematics teachers were top in their classes when they were students. When they are not learning in class, they are studying in the library. They spend little time socialising  and having fun     . They grow up to become an expert in mathematics but deficient in relating same to the student . They begin a topic by introducing an abstract theory and leave the student wondering how this theory concerns his life.

They do not deserve to be blamed.They only repeated what was handed over to them by their teacher  . Garbage in garbage out. They can choose to create a new tomorrow.

We can have outstanding mathematician but terrible teachers of mathematics. Great mathematics Teachers begin by stimulating the interest of the student. Students who are less than fourteen years of age are emotionally focused. They tend to feel more and rationalise less .

Simultaneous Equation. : Divide the children into groups of 4 .Ask tleaxh group to go to four different shops . Give each group #200 to buy pencil and biro  .total amount of both items  should be six. Compare each group answer. . Solve on the board. Which group got it right?

Speed : Take student outside  Measure any point A about 100m apart. Get each student to walk fast or run from point A to B and get another student to record time against the student. After each student must have done dat,take them back to the class and calculate the speed of three students. The remaining students should calculate their own  walking speed.

Volume of cylinder : Tell student to bring any empty milk ,or tomatoes container to class. Using ruler, they watch you measure the height and Diameter and repeat the same for their container. After that, you calculate the volume or area using formula method and watch them do the same  .

Average : each student is given a company name and asked to go to the library and get the prices of shares for nine consecutive days.They are to find the moving average of five

Area  The student measure the length and breadth of one class room tile  . Student count the number of tile in the class and find the product.

One way we make mathematics boring is that we do not involve the student in getting the data. We spoon feed them the data . In real life,they have to know how to get the data themselves.  Getting them to measure it themselves makes them engaged. One parent told me his child measures everything he can lay his hands on at home . After measurement, he would begin to calculate  . Things got out of hand when the television fell off. These method make class lovely, children interesting and active participant in the learning process, .Soon children will begin to love the subject

Hmmm I hate the school system but it's not useless. They teach us the opposite of success in schools. They make us compete against each other in class which comes against the basic biological organization of a simple cell. We must work together as an organ to be productive in life. Each one just needs to find out its function. Learn from the sun, stars, moon, water, air, animals and plants.

I won't say much.

Sorry OP, university education is not a guarantee that you will get a job. Its primary function is to teach you how to think. When you know how to think, have ideas, and apply yourself (both as a student and after), you will make it. If no job offer comes along, such an individual will have something valuable to offer society, which can be the basis of a business.

Problem is, many students have ZERO idea what they want to do with their lives and show little interest in finding a unique skill or enterprise to call their own. They float though the university passing whatever course they are required to pass, apparently in the hopes that once they brandish a certificate, there'll be a job waiting somewhere.

This is what happens to such individuals.

Sorry if I sound harsh, but we need to be honest with ourselves; not just for your sake, but for the sake of current students visiting this thread.

NO sir. The goal of university education is not to place a qualified graduate in a better position.
It is first and foremost to teach how to think.
Secondly, it is to give you sufficient knowledge about a course of study that the graduate can function at a minimum level in a specific discipline.

It is the responsibility of the student to find and nurture something of value in themselves which can be amplified by their education.
Agreed that some universities societies (particularly outside Nigeria) make the last part easier, but I guarantee you that Nigerian universities do enough, as long as the student is willing to apply himself. Evidence: the thousands of graduates who get jobs every year without needing "connections".
