There is one profession that the world can not do without it but I discovered that nobody want to be part of that profession. When ever you ask a child, "what do you want to be in the future" some will say "doctor, lawyer, engineer, bankers, accountant, help me imagine it oo hmmm even force men and women is among the students choice" but there is this one that very rear persons makes it a dream. Why is it like that? But come oo! Do your know that profession? Let by honest. Ahh let me help you out " TEACHER" yes I said teacher. The teacher makes you who you are but nobody wants to be a teacher, them who will teach the on coming generation. This I noticed in my country Nigeria and I know that's what is happening round other countries.
Bring your ear let me tell you something, we are not gossiping ooo! Or are we? I didn't plan to be a teacher even due I passed through the teaching profession and even came out with a first class. Imagine that oh. Did I say something?
So, there was this day I went into a JSS3 class(a class in high school grade 3) to teach mathematics. I teach mathematics in both the lower and upper grades in a school by the name DE - ULTIMATE GLORY ACADEMY.
I went in to teach this topic "Simultaneous linear equation" and along the line I asked the students what HCF stands for. A student quickly stood up and said aya common fraction I was like aya common fraction? I tried connecting the three together (aya, common and fraction) by the way aya is tiger but, common is common (pardon me) but give it a definition that suite you and afraction is part of a whole. Wow! I couldn't help myself ohh I laughed. In that shock I asked another and he said high common fraction and another said higher common factors
That couldn't stop me from laughing as a teacher but after the experience I come to discover that some students though they were thought they still need to be taught again cause they tend forget in the slightest opportunity and they need to be reteach again while others, ones tauht it remains part of them.
That makes me to tell them that HCF stands for Highest Common factors and it is gotten after the factors of two or more numbers are found and the common factors are identify, then the common factor that is the biggest in all the factors of those numbers is what is referred to as the highest common factor (HCF). If not that I told you also, do you know what HCF stands for? (Laugh)
Every student is special in his own way though some need a push from someone to bring out the hidden potential in them. Therefore, it is a collaborative effort of both parents and teachers to help the students become that dream they have always dreamed of.
Every child is Special..
