TEACHERS SHOULD
TEACH THESE THINGS IN TOO
If you’re seriously concerned that teachers probably do not
teach students all they ought to, yeah, you think right! But wait a minute, you
might not be thinking in my direction, we are not indicting teachers here and
that’s why we’re not talking about school curricula; when it comes to that,
kudos to teachers, many of them do justice to it. But here a few things you will barely find
teachers impact in students throughout their whole career which shouldn’t be. Teachers
hardly teach:
That failure to pass Mathematics and Integrated Science at the
crossroad to senior secondary school is not failure to have the propensity to
make it in life.
That 100% score in all subjects at WAEC level is by no means
what makes a man successful but mere gateway to another institution of learning;
learning which in real sense is endless constant.
That the likes of Mark Zuckerberg, D’Aloisio, Anton
Katherine, Sean Parker, Bill Gate, Wole
Soyinka, Davido, Aliko Dangote, did not always
topped their classes, led debates and quizzes and won best students prizes when
in college, yet, many people will see them as successful today.
That to be successful, one has to posses that quality they do
not teach in class; one has to be gritty, willful and stubborn. That one should
defy traditions to really bring about transition. That it is a good sign to
raise your hand conspicuously in class and ask questions not only about what
you do not do not know but what you do not know well enough.
