Its about teaching in Kenya.
Teaching means imparting knowledge to learners.
The blackboard-centered classroom offers more than pedagogical efficiency; it also offers an effective set of teaching possibilities. In such a classroom students are focused on the teacher (on a good day), but most importantly, they are focused. The teacher is not the focus of the class but rather a lens through which the lesson is created and clarified. The teacher draws the class toward her, but she projects the lessons onto the blackboard behind her, a blank surface upon which smaller ideas may be gathered into larger ones. The blackboard is the surface of thought.
Some pupils asked about what they know about blackboards said "The blackboard is a wonderful place to make a mistake. School wants to put us in unique situations, frightening ones sometimes, and to be able to perform in front of others is a valuable skill. School drags us, sometimes kicking and screaming, out of our shells"-one notable and unique comment eh.
Some like writing on it their imaginations while the teacher is not in.They carry some small pieces of chalks, too small for teachers' use but to them handy, and use them making funny drawings on their toilet walls.
Whichever way they do it, the learners get to know something they used to not know before and the black boards have a story to tell.Teachers are in every creed and tongue all through history and even now. We expect to have teachers all through the future. They can teach both evil and good. Here is when they teach the young leaners to know how to write. Blackboards and black walls have all manner of writing.
