Okay, I've been very busy for the past few days. I work in a school while I await my National Youth Service Corps(NYSC), the school started as a tutorial centre before they started secondary school.
So, for the reason above, the school has more male teachers, than female. In short we have only 2 females, myself inclusive.
The discipline level of students is zero, and I try as much as possible to do the best I could.
We started our 3rd term examination on Monday and I had to supervise and monitor them as they write it.
We have students that don't care about the outcome of their results, the female are more concerned about their outlooks than their performances while the male are more concerned about cyber crimes than their academics.
Since the school has a tutorial, it's saddening to see teachers dating the students. The students wear clothes that are very revealing and even go as far as seducing the male teachers.
What do we do with this?
What is the world turning to?
Back to my story;
Examination has started and I have to ensure that they comport themselves, that they do not have any room to copy or bring in any chip.
I've caught and brought many students to book. I ensured that the management dealt with them.
We started the paper on Monday and about 10 students have been caught in malpractice.
It has been so difficult being the only one opposing all the bad acts of the students. The other teachers decided to ignore(some because of the relationship they have with the student, some because they are tired of complaining already.
Sometimes, I feel its better I ignore them as the other teachers are doing.
Should I overlook their errors?
Should I allow them cheat in the examination hall and pretend I didn't see it?
Should I ignore them completely?
All these has been my concern, very soon I'll be leaving the school for my NYSC as I have registered with this batch.
What will they say about me when I'm gone?
Would they say my excesses are too much?
Already, the students do not like the way I discipline or correct their wrong doings.
How do we handle attitudes students give.
Inasmuch as we want to correct them in love, how do we manage and discipline them at the same time?
A very sad situation wherein you need to do what you must to discipline students for them to learn but then parents will complain of your act
