Activity 3: Advice for a wrong teaching behaviour.

Many teachers in my country are there only due inability to secure a lucrative government jobs and use their stressed minds to make rather unnecessary or negative comment on weak learner's performances when they couldn't meet the expectation.

Sometimes teachers get bored due teaching commitments and tend to show lacadaisical approach to teaching and pay much attention on pupils' note taking.

The advice i will give these teachers is that,  they should clear their minds and give teaching their best shot and bear in mind that a teacher is a highly respected personality that groom and nurture young minds into intellectuals of tomorrow.

Teachers should also include constructive plays and games they can engage the learners and themselves in their classes to make learning a little bit funnier.

Ahmed you are right. Sadly teaching in many countries is not a  job of  first choice but a job because one does not have an alternative or one is teaching as one looks for another job. I think given the critical role of the teacher in development of individuals and society this should be addressed at policy level so that we have in teaching profession people who love teaching and are committed, make it a first choice in midst of better choices. Given the demands of teaching, a half-hearted teacher cant make it, practice learner centred, inclusion, engage in further learning, mentoring students among others. These tasks require full sacrifice.

This is a sad reality.Teaching requires and demand total commitment. Lives are impacted and great damage is done when the approach is wrong.

In my county we refer to teaching as a calling and its not for the faint hearted because you meet children from different back grounds and you have to treat them equally.
