At grade 1 I knew how to read and write… because my parents read to me, and bought me educational toys, and taught me how to write at home. Would buy newspapers and play word puzzles with me.
Parents have abdicated their roles as their children’s primary teacher.
Hot take:
People go into teaching without the passion. There’s little to no support for the kids. People expect grade 1 kids to KNOW stuff. They don’t want to teach. The comfort of GEMS and a gov salary is what matters.
I’m not even a teacher kodwa you guys are trying to justify ububhanxa. You neglect your children’s educational needs and expect teachers to perform miracles in 6 hours, only for that to be undone when they get home.
I love that period when you find a great album & you don't care about anything except the album. You forget about everything, it’s just you & the album.
