    Problems of School Teachers         Print, Read and Circulate    

teachers must beg pipils for discipline??

New methods of teaching imposed by politicians are good for traumatised pupils but cannot be used with pupils having high self esteem.

Theory of play /bridging the gap in pedagogy leads to chaotic situation in many classrooms

Group work in the classroom not adapted to individual evaluation of pupils at exams level. Group work also leads to copying and later gang formation.

Noise from pupils in the classroom on teacher’s mental health refer section 59, 60 Occupational Safety and Health Act 1982.

No psychological unit to help in teacher’s mental health

In some schools teachers must buy white board markers from their salary

No remuneration for Classroom Pedagogical Work done at home (correction of exercise books, preparation of teaching aids, daily lessons notes, research work, etc ).

No distance allowance for teachers who always work far from their home while some always works in schools around their houses

With the concept of performance management those teachers who works around their houses are deemed to be more performant than those who works far from their houses, what about those teachers who works with difficult hyperactive pupils  

In some schools teachers are not allowed to use school computers to type continuous evaluation questionnaires and to do research work.

Indiscipline of pupils in the classroom (The problem No 1 of Education which many deny)

Verbal abuse, insults from pupils, parents, Assaults from pupils and parents on teachers.

Teachers are blamed for misbehaviour of pupils (some say bad classroom management)???

Teachers are blamed for bad exams result.

Teachers should be provided with Mobile Camera Phone to gather evidence of some pupil’s misbehaviour before confrontation with parents who never blame their kids.

Teachers are blamed as having bad classroom management after reporting indiscipline pupils.

Teachers can also be sued for damage by parents if they report indiscipline pupils at school without evidence  (same for CPE exams Invigilation).

Absence of Legal Support for teachers from Ministry of Education in police case.

Refusal of vacation leave for teachers due to exigencies of service.

High Teacher / Pupil ratio and no assistant teacher like in other countries despite a similar pedagogy imposed by politicians.

Internal fight with colleagues to get upper primary classrooms to benefit private tuition.

Abuse from hierarchy on young teachers to help in cognate duties which are never recorded in the young teacher’s file.

Though remunerated Teachers must give private tuition cramming method for good exams result. Why not allow the same cramming method used in private tuition in formal school??

Music in schools will create discotheques addicts in the future .

Teachers are still using Corporal Punishment and Shouting (verbal abuse) for the intellectual benefit of pupils despite severe laws. Are they Fools??? They are jeopardising their career for kids.

The Ministry of Education wants teachers to work as professionals, So let us all teachers work like the over qualify professionals teachers of America, Europe, etc and so whatever be the RESULT on EXAMS and on society.

Teachers and Parent Teachers Association must Beg for sponsors in order to please the imposed activities of the new pedagogy.

Note in many countries despite their full time psychological help in school, their school are in a chaotic situation, may be politicians wants same here.

The new pedagogy wants your child to become Hyperactive and later you become dependant on psychologists

            TYPE  ‘’christian yow sang’’  and search on the Internet      PRINT , READ and CIRCULATE

Pls send above in all Internet Links

         Education is the only field where despite more money is put in yearly, there is a downfall in the result obtained and noone wants to see the solution which is the use of the stick on pupils and the use of old methods of teachings
