MY OVARIES OH

Educational standard in Nigeria is dwindling by the day, public schools are feeling the brunt more. They are grossly under staffed, there are too many students per class, old and archaic textbooks and methods of teachings are still in use.

A lot of private schools are trying to fill the gap but this has driven the cost of education very high.

Every good parent wants the best for their child so they work extra hard so they can afford good schools. The question is are they really getting the value for their money?. When I was a teen one of the most expensive school in my state called my mom to help groom their final year student for Waec but in actual fact they needed someone that would help answer the questions for the students and would be discreet and she always had a lot of offers like that. She always turned them down.

All this got me thinking, I couldn’t understand how parents would pay so much to give their children the best education yet the same kids couldn’t pass basic Waec unassisted. I once lived in the same duplex that housed boarding house student, watching them as an outsider made me realise that it is not about cheap or expensive school, it’s the whole system as a whole .

In the bid to compensate for the rot in the system too much activities with little results were being done. The share volume of assignments and extra curriculum activities was just too much. A lot of the students struggled and those that struggled were termed dullards which I don’t believe to be true.

The system as whole makes no provision for uniqueness, all the students are lumped together, taught using the same method. Some will flourish under this method and some wouldn’t because of their genetic make up and this doesn’t make them dull or slow it just means a new learning approach tailored for them has to be used.

I met a little girl Tara ( not her real name) in that school, she was hyper active, would do anything for attention, was doing so bad in school, she was the butt of a lot of dullard jokes. She was really a handful not even her sisters related with her. I called her one day to talk to her and asked few questions. She was the fourth child of seven children all under the age of fourteen. They were all in boarding house since primary school except from the last.

She really didn’t understand why she was always angry and at her age she experienced a lot of headaches. From our discussion and from my observation she showed signs of ADHD(Attention Deficit Hyper active Disorder). Now I am no professional and this needs medical diagnosis but she showed most of the major nine symptoms I know and I know she needed help and the current educational system wasn’t the best for her.

This has led me on the home-schooling path. I am a proud home schooler who has a dream of one day running a school with a new approach to learning where every child is allowed to achieve their maximum potential .

 

You home school your kids or as a day Job?
