Hello everyone
Having a blessed and fun filled week.
Personally school back then were filled with irreplaceable memories with both good and bad experiences, which was for my good, became it has helped in moulding my life, although my schooling experience was filled with so many repetition not that I failed but due to some circumstances surrounding it, after the death of my father, I moved from my state to another state, where i had to repeat a class, it was through my teacher advised to my aunty that led to the repetition.
Parents and guardians should understand that the responsibility of educating a child doesn鈥檛 just lie with the teacher, they also have an important role to play as well in instilling a memorable value in the child, and that is not done only by petting the child.
I could recall when I was disciplined by my teachers because I was disobedient, and since that day I never try it again, but in today's world, some parents tend to discipline their children's teacher for trying to correct a child's wrong, some tend to believe their children more than teacher, and that has become one of the major challenges in the educational sector.
Parents should be abreast with what their child is studying at school, they should be more aware of their strengths and weaknesses, their areas of interest and not only the teacher
The major role of teachers is to nurture children's learning and give them various experiences to face challenges. They mold the children to be a responsible and independent learner, on like today where some children tend to depend solely on their teacher to do everything, they need shortcut most for everything, in taking notes in the class, and even doing their homework.
Back then i dare not have an incomplete note, talk more about not doing my homework, and my parents were fully involved in it, they expose me to difficult tasks but will be there to guide me through and when i am able to scale through, I will be celebrated as an hero both by my teacher and my parents. With that it built independent in me, and most of these training were powered up by my parents. but nowadays, parents tend to be so busy forgetting some of these fundamental trainings, teacher have their boundaries and they stick to that.
Teachers and parents play vital role in holistic development of the child. Parents are the first mentor of a child and the teacher is the second, both have an immense contribution and responsibility in shaping child鈥檚 personality. Through the teacher a child learns their social skills, they make them comfortable and guide their early concepts and their developmental skills. Parents and teachers have a great power to bring a positive change in the child鈥檚 development, as they grow and develop mastery in different skills, they become a real guide in nurturing this interest and with this learning they have derive from these parties, it makes them more independent.
I saw back then, I saw zeal and passion to study reasons been that, first you don't want my parents to discipline me, and secondly I don't want to repeat the class, so i tried harder to be ahead, i recalled a time where i took 4th position in the class, then we were using positions and not grades, i cried from school, all effort my teacher made to console me proves abortive, i cries that way till i got home that i had not passed very well 馃, and the following term I promised myself not to slack again but to meet up with that, but I'm seeing the opposite of it among students today, they tend to be so relaxed knowing that they wont repeat any class if they fail,
In today's world I am seeing the opposite of it both among parents, and students, although teachers are putting in their best, because they tend to understand the child's academic ability and some advice the parents that the child should repeat, but it will be overruled due to extra expenses, and some tends to skip a child from a class believing that the child is older. No that won't help the child, because there are certain things that they are not knowledgeable about, so skipping a child from one class does not help the child.
I believe with cooperativeness, where parents and teachers understand their different roles in the life of a child but work hand in hand in instilling an unforgettable discipline, and morals in a child it will go a long way. A good parent teacher relationship leads child to be positive towards attending school.
Thank you for reading through.
Happiness is the greatest medicine of the soul. Never stop smiling.
