lharstborn: The country's educational system needs a total overhaul. From the teachers training colleges to the colleges of education and finally to the universities. Go to an average College of education and see the rot there,no infrastructure,no manpower etc. I was at the Federal College of Education Abeokuta a while ago and the campus looked like a poultry farm,(no insults intended). How can one expect a student to learn under such enviroment.?

kelechiMarie: you're so right@op I really pity teachers especially those that teach in private schools[teachers in govt.schools hardly work]they're overworked and underpaid.Imagine someone teaching from 9am-4pm and earns less than twenty thousand and he still has to deal with insolent,lazy and rude students!no wonder they're usually hot-tempered

Let me correct you there, teachers in government schools do a whole lot of work. What do you mean by they hardly work? How many students are in those private schools? How many periods do the teachers have per week? In a government school, a teacher to student ratio can be 1 to 700+. The continuous assessment could be in 4 places, imagine marking 700 scripts in 4 places, that is about 2800 scripts in all. Some of the schools have classes in the range A,B,C,D,E,F,G,H,I,J . Most times, you move from class to class and if care is not taken, you will start feeling dizzy on the fourth class and your voice begins to faint. Resumption time is 7.45 am and close time s around 4pm. So, teachers in government schools do more work than you can ever imagine. Okay?

very fat lie...I taught in a govt school as a corp member. you say they have up to 10arms? That's if the subject is general, what of electives?
I thought acctng...we had 3 accounting arms for each level (ss1-3). My dear, I lost count of how many acct teachers, of which I didn't even know them till the day Ministry of Education came - I was surprised to see over 10teachers telling me and my fellow corp member that we suppose to be reporting to them. These are people we have never seen. They don't even set tough questions - I remember setting my exam questions and the principal asked me if I'm sure they can answer this one
-I can remember being told to approximate 35 to 40 so the student can @least get an E
-I can remember seeing so any exotic cars by 7:45 to sign attendance - by 9am...you can count the no of cars/teachers that would be remaining.

In govt schools the student don't even come to school, they don't even like to take their test...
So where would you even see the 700 scripts to mark?
Is it the script that you can mark in 30secs? Because they wouldn't write anything sensible

In a govt school, you may just have to teach twice in a week(a particular arm/class). The students don't even challenge you, so it's easy for you to enter the class and freestyle. You can't compare it to teaching private students - that keep asking you both the one that is their business and the one that isn't

By the way private school pass private sch...my secondary sch had 12arms of each class from Jss1 - Ss3 (it was a private sch). Not all private schools are densely populated

I'm not saying all govt. schools are bad - but majority of them are lazy! They don't do anything!

...Well, definitely not in Lagos. Where was your NYSC? Moreover, elective subjects wouldn't be taught to all students (we all know that one) even in private schools. So, that point doesn't count.

Kachisbarbie:

yeayea...all your points count Sir.
Now...clap for yourself, after that learn how to talk/type politely. Your choice of words tells a lot about your person.

-we can't all share same opinion, when someone doesn't agree with yours - please don't get worked up.

@your post
- unskilled and 'inexperienced' not 'inexperience'
-incompetent not 'imcompetent'
-over time not 'overtime'

feel free to say it's a typo

You said you were giving an example of a general subject, lets say I'm not a psychic to read your mind(or I might decide not to get your point) ...maybe you should be specific in future.

No one gets it all right...#ChewOnThat#

naturalwaves:


Hahahahaha, you are so funny dear. Honestly, you need not take these things personal, they are harmless points and thanks for the corrections. I won't edit the typos

Kachisbarbie:

I wish I had the time to take it personal...but nahhh - it's not my person. If I wanted to take it personal, I know the perfect way to reply you, that would match your choice of words. Feel free not to edit them, I found it 'disgusting' that you read a whole post of God knows how many characters/words and took out your time to pick out 1 error...'very disgusting' to put it lightly

Mayour11:
but next time don't be specific, this is a social platform and anything you post here can be assessed anywhere in the world.

lharstborn:

Thanks bro, I appreciate...but how can we be objective in our criticisms and detailed analyses if we can't be specific?

I honestly wonder what is happening to nairaland these days , before becoming a member of nairaland, i visited nairaland as a guest, I was constantly education and elevated by posts on front page, but now what do we see on front page: 2face shoe, picture of wizkid with his follow kid, okocha and his wife, tiwa savage outfit, Linda ikeji's car etc while interesting topic like this won't hit front page. Nairaland mods and super mods are now interested in Romanance answer celebrity sections only
