@trigottista Look at how soft you sound seeing that he came from your clans. If he were to be from the other tribe that you do banter everytime, all hell would have been looked from your tweets. All these concludes that you are also a tribal Bigot.
Note: I'm neither Yoruba nor Ibo.

Are we burning our kids out for absolutely no reason?
Finland gives very little homework, has no major exams until ~age 18, starts school later, and trusts teachers with more playtime. Their students have consistently ranked among the world's smartest on PISA and still deliver strong results in equity and well-being. Why are we overloading our children with pressure?

Is it finally time to rewrite how we teach?

One thing teachers and students quietly have in common:

We both love hearing that tomorrow is weekend 😂

Students are thinking about rest, games, friends and sleep.

Teachers are thinking about unfinished marking, lesson notes and finally getting some rest.

Different responsibilities.

Same relief.

Sometimes the classroom reminds you that teachers and students are more alike than they think.

@owolanky All of you that pushes tribalism. May God punish all of you, both those that pushes Igbo tribalism and Yoruba tribalism. You all are F♤♤ls. Instead of pushing one Nigeria.

Do you hire teachers, train them, yet watch them leave before the term is even over?

It may not simply be that teachers today are disloyal.

In most cases, a broken school system could be one of several possible causes — especially if the same pattern keeps repeating no matter who you hire.

Ask yourself:

❓ Do your teachers leave without warning — and often at the worst possible time?

❓ Do you find yourself replacing the same position term after term?

❓ Are your teachers physically present but emotionally checked out — doing the minimum and nothing more?

❓ Do your best teachers always seem to be the first ones to go?

❓ Do teachers say they are leaving for better pay — but deep down you suspect there is more to it?

❓ Do you have no structured way to supervise, develop, or recognise your teaching staff?

❓ Is your school completely dependent on you — so when a teacher leaves, everything falls apart?

These patterns can have many causes — including salary issues, poor working conditions, lack of growth opportunities, weak leadership structures, or in most cases, the absence of the systems that make a school a place people actually want to work in.

The only way to know for sure is through honest self-examination — and a structured look at how your school is actually running on the inside.

If you are tired of the revolving door of teachers in your school — do not ignore the signs.

Your teacher retention problem is a leadership and systems problem. And it has a solution.

In a lively classroom, young learners are mastering letter sounds A to F with fun and confidence!

The teacher leads them through interactive phonics using big colorful letters and powerful affirmations:

- A = I am Amazing
- B = I am Brave
- C = I am Creative
- D = I am Divine
- E = I am Enough
- F = I am Fabulous

Kids stay fully engaged with call-and-response, movement, and positive energy. A perfect blend of literacy and self-esteem building!

She also introduced a simple “Open Door Hour” twice a week. Parents, students, and staff could come without an appointment. A JSS2 student, Chika, complained that the library was always locked. By the next week, Mrs. Bello hired a part-time librarian and set a reading period on the timetable.

By mid-term, results came out on time. Attendance improved. The school compound was cleaner, and the PTA donated new science equipment after seeing the changes.

At the end-of-term assembly, Mr. Tunde said, “Greenwood didn’t change because of rules. It changed because someone managed with respect, teamwork, and action.”

Mrs. Bello just smiled. “Good school management is not power. It’s service.”

Greenwood High had found its rhythm again.

Title: The New Term at Greenwood High

When Mrs. Amina Bello resumed as Principal of Greenwood High School in Abuja, the school was in chaos. Files were missing, teachers came late, and students’ results were always delayed. The school board gave her one term to turn things around.

On her first Monday, Mrs. Bello did something unusual. Instead of locking herself in her office, she stood at the school gate at 6:45 a.m. She greeted every student, teacher, and cleaner by name. “Management starts with people,” she told her vice-principal, Mr. Tunde.
