A story of my confused state

  2018, I moved to Ogun state and had to seek employment in a school within my vicinity. As a Lagos teacher, I was used to a vibrant class, swift answers and mushy acts by my students. So I resumed at my new work place with that fully charged energy. The first day got me confused. I was to teach the primary classes, I started my class and it was obvious these children were not following. They could neither understand what I was saying nor did they show any bit of interest. It was then I knew I had to start from the scratch. First, I had to create a connection. I wanted them to understand that I am first their friend. I needed to set the foundation that they can have both a friend and teacher in one. After that, I came down to their level. I made them feel and appreciate every little progress they made. I built up their interest in education. We worked together, applying several strategies I discovered and created, and within some month the growth was evident. Eureka is a book that cove

LIFE FROM ART

I came across this beautiful photo on Mr Charles Omotayo Omotayo's facebook wall. The combination of a library,a lake and vegetation was artistically painted. To me,the painting conveys the message that you can juggle many activities/dreams and excel at them all. That's the first message. Two;life is always a combination. Sometimes, most of the things that make up this combination do not go down well with us, but if we do not resist the happening of these things, they come together to paint our lives with the colours of the rainbow, in spectacular and unique ways. I do not know how this is interpreted in any aspect of your life, but I want you to know that every fire gold passes through leaves it more colourful than it met it. Finally, the power of your mind is far greater than you. We all know the names of two or more people who are revered. These people do not have two heads; they harnessed the power of their minds. They engaged in critical thinki

ARE YOU CONNECTED

On Tuesday I had to charge my phone with my laptop since the head of my charger got spoilt. My cord was connected to my laptop and to my phone, I turned my laptop on but my phone refused to charge. I thought the cord was faulty, so I changed the position but it still wasn't charging, I then decided to check my phone. When I checked my phone I noticed the phone wasn't connected to the cord, I fixed it and it started charging. It then occurred to me that the reason majority of us aren't growing is because we are not connected to the right source. What does it mean to be connected? It means to be fixed to a source which adds or diminish your growth(My definition) Just like I thought my phone was connected and wondered why it wasn't charging, majority of us think we are rightly connected but we have no growth to show for it. There is no way you would be rightly connected and have no growth to show for it. If you notice your level of growth last year is still the sam

EXAMINATION MALPRACTICE BY OBAOLUWA

It is not good to involve in examination malpractice because of the following reasons: 1) It corrupts children because they believe they can cheat to get anything in life. 2) It makes our children unemployable e.g Companies won't employ them because they know nothing. 3) It makes children lazy e.g They believe they can pass the examination without reading. 4) It makes children problem in the society. 5) It makes children steal e.g When they don't know anything they steal to get money. 6) It makes children terrorists. E.g Children will be stealing, kidnapping to get what they want. 7) It makes children go to jail. E.g When they cheat and people catch them, they take them to jail. 8) It makes parents sad 9) It makes children not to pass their examination. E.g When the teacher put somebody that is not brilliant and they want to cheat from the person, they write nonsense. 10) It makes parents waste money. E.g When children don't know anything, parent waste money by pa

EXAMINATION MALPRACTICE BY OKOLI

Examination malpractice is not good Examination malpractice is the act of taking answers to examination hall or bribing the examination conductors to make the child pass the exam. I have some points which I will like to delebrate on. Firstly it makes the children not to read their books and end up not having a proper education, they don't know that it scatters the child's future and endanger their life. Secondly in the country matters it corrupts the country and makes the country to lack lot of things. Thirdly, it teaches bad moral values and makes the children spoilt. Fourthly I also blame the parents because they sit there and help their children in achieving exams through examination malpractice. God condemns it and anyone who involves in it gets punished. There are some consequences for examination malpractice. 1) Shame: When one is caught in this act it brings shame. 2) Punishment: It involves when being caught the person will be punished. With these few points

VALUE YOURSELF

Thinking about my junior secondary schools days This handsome guy in my class wrote on the black board "Titi is the most beautiful girl in class" I was overjoyed, I felt on top of the world, I blushed. I walked with pride for a long time. I even made sure I never changed my hairdo. chai!!! I cried the day I learnt he left our school, who would make me feel good about myself? I was going through a lot at home, I felt I wasn't good enough, I felt I wasn't useful, I thought I was so ugly, I hated myself. Now you know why I was so happy when he declared my beauty! Thinking about that incident it became clearer why people get deceived easily. Imagine a child who was introduced into a world of hatred, imagine a child who have been made to believe they worth nothing. Imagine someone shows them a bit of love, what happens? They become so happy and eager to explore this new world and that's where rape, drug abuse and others comes in. Until you learn

HAPPINESS the best medicine

Today our Pastor preached on happiness the best medicine, he talked about the benefits of happiness. I so much enjoyed the sermon because i could relate with it. Few years ago I use to hate myself, I hardly saw reasons to smile. Don't you try laughing or gisting beside me because my countenance would change thinking I am the reason for the discussion. I started having issues with my heart I couldn't sleep without putting a wet cloth on my chest. I feared I might have a heart attack because I was always thinking. I hardly slept, I do cry for no reason. To sum it up I HATED MYSELF I found myself in the University and I decided to start a new life there, I made new friends. I learnt to love myself I would look at myself in the mirror and sing my praise. I just decided to be happy no matter what happens I decided to reduce the rate at which I think Wetin wan happen go happen And to God be the glory the heart issues stopped, I became light inside The diffe

IF... Power of words

If only you had told them they mean so much to you If only you had encouraged them If only you told them you notice their efforts If only you didn't shut them up when they tried sharing their problems with you If only you had told them ALL WILL BE WELL If only ... Maybe they wouldn't have felt so alone Maybe they wouldn't have felt useless Maybe they wouldn't have lost hope Maybe they wouldn't have committed suicide Maybe they would still be alive today Maybe... Little things that matters Its funny how people say nice things about the dead 99% of which they never said when the individual was alive Maybe they would have been alive today. Your words can save # Jesustibab

PICTURING THE END

I was at Adventist Primary School last month for their after school club and I anchored the art and craft class. I introduced them to recycle art and grouped them into 3 team with the task of making a cup from plastic bottle which I had earlier taught them. When they started the task I moved around to observe and assist them if need be. I noticed group 3 were lagging behind, the other groups were almost done with theirs so I asked the group leader why his group was that slow. " Aunty I want our own to be the best, that's why am taking my time"  I was shocked to hear that from a primary school student. I waited till when they all where through and I had to help fix the cup to complete it. I tried that of group A and tried fixing it but it couldn't fit in, group B's own also didn't fit in. But surprisingly when I took group C's cup it fit in immediately. "Aunty you see what I told you" he said as he and his group rejoiced. I was really

HOW TO COPE WITH SLOW LEARNERS

I remember my first experience with a slow learner. At first I thought he was just lazy but later I realised it wasn't laziness. He was always quite, doesn't answer questions in class and rarely relate with his peers. Within months of my stay in the school I started noticing some changes in my boy. He now attempts assignment and classwork given. He talks in class and now relates well with his classmates. The trick is to first make them feel safe in class rather than make your expectations a burden to them. Over the years I've had to teach slow Learners and it has been a wonderful experience. The link below is a podcast where I talked on how to cope with Slow Learners. It's a ten minutes audio that summarizes strategies you can put in place when you have a slow learner in class. If you have questions, I'll be glad to answer them. https://anchor.fm/MissDairo%20/episodes/How-to-cope-with-Slow-Learners-ef5bj4 Don't forget to leave a comment and share w

Who told you its difficult to be wealthy in this current economic wahala ( na lie dem talk) Who told you it is difficult to survive this period ( dem no talk true at all) Yes things are expensive compared to before but do you know you can still make it in this hard times? Yes times are hard but the reason it is banging you so hard is because you haven't  discovered the secret of staying wealthy despite the banging dollar rise. SECRETS UNVEILED To unveil this interesting secret i would be doing a little arithmetic to broaden our understanding on this. Mr Biodun earns #60,000 monthly and his monthly expenses are as follows: House rent = #5000 Feeding= #30,000 School fee ( for 2 children)=#20,000 then other petty expenses Now for someone like Mr Biodun this recession has banged him so hard he finds it difficult for he and his family to survive but to the greatest surprise Mr Biodun is slaying despite the hike in price.

HOW TO CREATE AND DESIGN A WEBSITE/BLOG

If you've ever needed the services of a website designer, you'll know how expensive their charges can be.  Here's why... My first blog (www.jesustibab.blogspot.com) has views from over 20 countries and my present blog (www.classroommattaz.school.blog) which I started this month has views from over 10 countries. That means whatever content you have on your blog can be seen all over the world. This is the reason individuals and corporate bodies are willing to pay any amount just to get a professional website/blog. Do you know you can design a professional website/blog without paying a huge amount to get it done? This is where I come in; I will be holding a one week Whatsapp class on FREE WEBSITE AND BLOG CREATION and the best part is, I'm not asking for a fortune to teach you this skill that's in high demand, with just *#3,000* you would learn everything about website and blog creation.
