Reasons to go to school- 28th May 2018

A P6 student posed this question :-


Why are we required to go to school?


Our reply -
1. To pursue knowledge in the different fields i.e language, mathematics for our personal betterment now and for the future.
Knowledge is critical in our development as a person.

2. To  pick up other skills namely social skills, being a good citizen, emphaty, honesty. Skills which are fundamental for the progress of a society.

3.For evaluation.
Tests and examinations strengthen one's focus and hunger in order to do well and excel. Getting A  is not the penultimate aim but doing one's best should be. It builds character.

4. For our future.
Attaining good grades does not automatically mean we get the high paying job we so crave or into the industry we want to prosper but without a shadow of a doubt it does help a lot.

5. For our parents
Our parents have made their sacrifices, the least we could do is to do a decent job of preparing well for an examination in school.

A school is an institution where you build your character.

L.Verve student's - 18th May 2018

Today's tale - 18th May 2018

About a month ago, we had a parent who shared with us a common problem faced by parents who engaged tutors to teach their child at their residence. The issues were.

1. Within the first month, the tutor kept  constantly cancelling classes, changing day and time of classes. Reasons given were unacceptable. Example :- going out with friend.

Even the make up classes were changed .

2. Tutor was busy on her electronic gadget leaving student to do her own work.

3. Lacks professionalism in communicating with parent.

4. Asking for payment before classes commence when it was mutually agreed payment is to be made after every 4 classes.

We urge parents to do a check on the tutor's track record from current or previous students if and when possible.

An adult part time tutor who is in the working world or better still a full time tutor tend to project more professionalism.

Changes to day and time of classes are inevitable once In a while. Not every other week.

Motivation - 18th May 2018

In 2009 when I was in my infancy stage in the education industry I had the displeasure of witnessing a mum caning and giving her daughter a right old scolding in front of us for what she perceived as "insulting' grades.

The student was tearing and personally I knew she was humiliated. Me and another educator intervened.

Maybe the mum wanted to send a signal to us to push her child further. Who knows?

The girl was in primary 4 and she attained an 80 plus, Band 1 for her science paper. We knew she could do better. It was status quo for the student. She was consistent from her previous exam. The mum demanded a 95 mark.

Even if the student had committed various careless mistakes, to me a strong advice to eradicate such mistakes for future exams with a "well done" would have sufficed.  Just continue to work harder. Nothing wrong to aim for that 95. It was the process I questioned.

Maintaining high standard is one thing. Sowing the seed for a child to hate learning is another. 

Sometimes I do wonder how the student is doing now.

I just hope that that episode in 2009 had not scarred her eternally to the extent of hating learning.

Learning is a marathon not a sprint.

Class size - 17th May 2018

The Learning Verve's classes are predominantly on a 1:5 Tutor to student ratio.

A smaller class size brings with it obvious advantages.

1. Teacher should have a more in depth knowledge of character profile of each student and their strength and weakness.

2. It would be logically easier to manage a class size of 5 as opposed to 10 - 15.

3.Teacher can spend more time for explanation and to tailor made lesson to suit a small group with similar learning ability.

4. Students feel more at ease opening up and asking question infront of 4 of their peers compared to 10 -15.

5. A small group aids in student assessment and evaluation.
