Those Harvard University students are ADULTS.

I work with children and adolescents with learning disabilities, holiday lessons is not an effective intervention.

You don’t wait till your bone ossify to do a reset! That you WORK WITH blah blah blah doesn’t make you an expert counsel in this regards!

My previous post about a big school that called me for an Interview, Well I actually went there, did my test and when I was asked to come in for Micro Teaching where I was faced with Staff of the school and maybe the principal, I flopped and panicked heavily.

The fear was well written all over my face and I was just saying rubbish despite choosing to teach "Matter" as my topic. Immediately I came in and they asked for my name and few other questions before the micro teaching, my voice was already shaking as if I have never taught before in my life(they noticed and told me to calm down).

Although I am an introvert, I hardly face audience talk more of strangers and the quest to ensure that I performed, those things enveloped/swallowed me completely. I have never taught in such a big school before, I think my qualification was what made them approach me in the first place.

One of the staff kept throwing questions at me, I mean confusing questions just to know my depth of knowledge in the particular topic, and guess what? I flopped totally and became disorganized. But luckily, there was a man among the panel who gave me the option of coming back and prove myself that I am a qualified teacher as stated in my CV or I should take another topic I'm more comfortable with. So, I opted to leave and come back so I can regain my confidence.

Now, I have been given enough time to go and make research and convince them on Monday.
How do I conquer that fear and what are the things they look so I can prepare hard.
Thank you.

Shii happens, congrats on learning something new via the experiment.
Teaching is an art and anyone can learn it.
It can only get better.
Good luck in your next interview.

No child need holiday lesson.

Even Havard university still put together summer school to help students fix their deficiencies.
Some kids have learning deficiencies and that is the main purpose of extramural classes.

Good evenning nairalanders ,

I once created tgis topic
https://www.nairaland.com/7654416/ex-came-2-days-ago

While the love of my son made me to pay lot of visits to my ex dad house in Ajegunle alongide Sango road ,i find out my son stayed 2 months at home before registering him into 1 mushroom school and his mum never allowed me to know what class he was .He spent just 1st term of his Nursery 2 with me and was doing fine before his mum decided to shock me .The visits made us to had things together again.


Before the kids holiday started ,she came around once and we did stuff together and immeaditely the school break started ,she brought my son and in all,i would say we have stayed almost 3 weeks together.(She went back to her place at Ajegunle on friday , .She never returned any of the items she packed. I find out her siblings and dad got a room for her .So,she got the room filled with all my belongings .If i ask her about it ,she tells me to forget about it and i didnt even complain.To say the truth ,the love i have for her have diminished a lot and it is up to the level that i dont feel anything for her if i dont see her .I only develop feeling for her if i see her with my son .

Now,my son have been with my younger sister since 15 days ago
and i find out that boy cant even write or read but could only fit for Nursery 2 instead of Basic 1 he was supposed to be promoted to if his mum didnt take him away .My sister is a teacher and she is good at teaching very well.From the lesson she enrolled him and her sons ,i was made to know that boy cant even cope in Basic 1 .Even ,he will only manage to be in Nursery 2.

I had to shed some tears on hearing this .I called my elder sister and told her i will not allow him to go back to Ajegunle.I plan to create time for him when school resumes .I am enrolling him into Nursery 2 and also get a teacher for him .I will make sure i close early from work to do my own part .

About his mum,i am not interested any longer .She have really done a lot of damages to my life mentally,financially and emotionally .The worst of it is my son eduaction .She have messed me up so much .I was supposed to get a new accommodation before she packed away my stuffs but i spent all the money i saved to get new items .I started over again and thank God ,i am moving out of this house latest september ending .

I am so devastated and i pray God give me the strength to teach my son the way i want and may God bless his brain too .I have decided to live alone woth him so i can train him the way i want and in God way .He is 5 years and 3 months old

You are comparing your son with others and that is giving you heartaches. Press the rest button. Let him start afresh. Be cheerful and watch him be his best.
Stop comparing!
Some of our super eagles footballers that didn’t go to school are earning in a day what most people earn in a year!

Sending kids to holiday lessons makes no sense.

Most of you will make your kids go to school till they become useless. You took them to school at age 3 and abandon them there. During long vacation you still send them to school. To do what?

Can't you spend time to bond with your kids? What exactly are they going to achieve in school during vacation? Vacation lesson only favour school owners, not you. Allow kids rest for God's sake.

If you should engage kids during long vacation then teach them skills. Enrol your kids in centres that they can learn practical computer usage, coding, programming, painting and decoration, catering, musical instruments. Let them learn martial art, how to shot guns, how to wrestle. Teach them something beyond pure academics.

If a school should organize long vacation class then it should gear towards extra curricula activities - debate, modelling, music concert, science fair, mini project. How would you call kids back to school during holiday to learn Math, English, Chemistry, Social studies, accounting, by same teachers that taught them during school period. What is the difference? If these teachers knew what to teach why didn't they do it during normal school session.

Education is beyond memorizing facts. Give your kids opportunity to develop and be better prepare for life.

Holiday lesson is because we have failed to address the fundamental problem in our education system.
That said some kids still need the holiday lesson, most don’t

I would like to use this opportunity to seek guidance based on the issue I have on ground. I believe it's igbos especially elderly person who is in a better position to give me a reasonable explanation. I told my mum my girlfriend is from ohafia, abia state and she instantly told me I can't get married to her. Her reason is because people from ohafia, arochukwu, izombe, and few other places in abia state are regarded as OSU. I complained to other members of my family but they also rejected her.

I have made some research personally and found out people from other part of igboland marry from those places. Now my question is why are they strongly rejecting her cos it doesn't make sense to call everybody from different local government in abia state OSU.

I've made more research on the girls family and found out they are king makers and her father belongs to eze's cabinet.

Her father and mine are no longer alive. They both have a traditional title and belong to eze's cabinet too. Please I need your advice cos I really want marry this girl. I also know that people encounter alot of difficulties when they want to get married. So I need a clarification from someone who has extensive knowledge on igbo tradition. Thank you

Your mum most likely watch too much Nollywood, Awka production, in addition to feeding on social media junk.
How can an entire village be osu? Do you really understand the meaning of Osu?
Talking about osu, how backwards can one be when most villages have liberated themselves from such social anathema.
Ohafia, Abriba and Arochukwu cultures are very deep. If you are associated with them one way or the other, na man you be! Something to be proud of.

How come you have access to his social media handle but not his bank account(s)?

He tried, at least he has a classmate unlike someone pushing for war!

Another big name that will add zero value to the economy. You have a minister of water resources and at the same time blue economy.
This shows either lack of understanding or cluelessness to what blue economy really is.

Naija man🤣🤣🤣but baba shebi you get insurance abi😜

Regina’s family have sent new budget request, maybe!

BennyDGreat:
While working on a couple of projects this week, I came in contact with the profile of someone from Facebook.

He's a convener of a large-sized conference within a University setting. What immediately caught my attention was the number of speakers that attended his last event.

I tried to zoom in on the graphics design but I got overwhelmed almost immediately.

A lot of thoughts began to run through my mind and I began to question the effectiveness of this type of conference.

Sometimes, conferences like this could start from 8AM and end around 4/5pm. In some cases, you get refreshment and slight breaks. In other cases, you get no breaks nor refreshment.

What do you think is the maximum amount of speakers a single day event ought to have?

How many hours is the max amount you would expect from a single day event?

Would the attendees ever take home information they can work on or would they be too full to even digest due to information overload?

Why do these conveners gather so many folks?
For networking? For show off? Or for the attendees to have enough established folks to network with?...share your thoughts....let's engage Nairaland!

Check how long Ted talk last. 15-20 mins is enough to convey your thoughts on anything if you really know what you are talking about.
Drop links to more resources if need be.
Check Parkinson's Law too.

So a private family gathering is now an issue of national importance?
Wonder why the mace was left behind so the ayes and nays can decide if the wedding should hold.
Akpabio, what a man!

Thanks

Nigerians are not shocked this government is shocked by this shocking revelation.
It will favor me and my family🤣🤣🤣

All warfare is based on deception sums up everything you have written perfectly! Your warfare against a blessed tribe is based on deception right?
Let’s not talk about your identity, it is already know.
Why did you not consider familiar traitors names like uzodinma, okorocha, uzor, umahi etc… Why did you choose the celebrity name, Emeka

Alex, Alex, Alex…mmmh!!!
How come nobody is seeing what I am seeing

Expect a disclaimer from OFFICE OF FIRST LADY🤣🤣🤣

40 years ago, this same man was a member of House of Representatives.
Same man when in power said Nigeria does not deserve a new train all because his party scaled the nation.
What else is he looking for if for 40yrs he is yet to make his mark!

Ighalo and Ahmed musa started it.... I remembered wen dis guy left barca because Messi was taking all d credit.. He then went to psg... Then mbappe came around and started showing him shege.... Kai...no b everytime person dey leave comfort zone oh... Look at Eden hazard 2..

Leaving your comfort zone is very important but look before you leap!
Forget the success of yesterday, focus on today with tomorrow in mind.
Don’t blame Hazard, what did you learn from him!

Min of Env - Kaduna. Interesting.

COMPAQ:
No mind am. NHS in UK that has months and in some cases years of backlog in surgery for patients.

Better than Nigeria by far no doubt, but certainly not wonderland like he's painting it to be.

As for US don't even go there. It's the most medical expensive system in the developed world. Don't be confused by the movies you watch where they dial 911 and ambulance e shows up in 2 minutes. They don't tell you the bill that follows. If you call emergency services, the cost of that ambulance might be like $2k.

If you have insurance you might still pay copay of like $400

Hollywood makes emergency service look free of charge till dey do weenh-woh-weenh-woh on your matter, your eye go clear!
YouTube is full of free info.

You know the most underrated advantage of living abroad is their swift medical treatment and care

Do you know that Sam Okparaji died at Surulere football stadium because ambulance no gree start

Does this lady know how many Nigerians that has lost their lives because NEPA took light during surgical procedures

Do you know how many lives that has wasted in Nigeria to negligence and poor facilities?

Do you know I know someone that lost a mom because of 10k balance before treatments?

This is a free health insurance you get abroad for free

Let’s not even talk of minimum wage, basic amunities, security, standard of living and the rest

Omo I’m very sure Nigeria is the forbidden country God told Abraham

Oga go and type your first paragraph on YouTube, use Canada, US and UK as case study. Come back here afterwards

Why crop your face off?
