Vindication Over Abuse Of School Election

Source: Google

Last year, we advised private schools against the excesses of the process of electing school prefects. It was so abused that parents engaged in undue 'show of wealth' in the name of campaign for their children who were candidates seeking votes for elective posts. Parents spent recklessly on unimportant things like gift items for staff and students, so that own child would win. The exercise became so corrupting, distractive, tempting... to all that we frowned at it. We suggested that schools should either stop or regulate the conduct of campaign. A number of parents and schools were displeased- can't list them.

Recently, we received a report from a school that had its finger burnt due to the excesses which occasioned unhealthy rivalry and conspiracy. The school's image was not spared.

Now, moderation & regulation are the school's watchwords for parents. Staff also received stern warning not to ever let any parents repeat or make an abusive attempt.

Career Mistakes Teachers Make

Teachers are a people with so much potentials & opportuinities than they actually accord themselves. But in this new year, it could be better if you develop and apply good strategies but before applying strategies, it's helpful to identify the #CareerMistakesTeachersMake so each Teacher can develop own antidote.

First mistake is that most Teachers focus only on money. Money is good but is not everything. There are many things money cannot buy. An example is hapiness. if a teacher bases his hapiness only on money, then such would experience discouragement,/depression when he's diappointed due to small amount of money earned. so focus NOT only on money. begin to train yourself to perceive other non-monetary (actual & latent) blessings you've got around you.

Second mistake is career network. Remember your network is your networth. that you are in a physically enclosed school shouldn't make you to close your own 'door' to helpful people. so, make RESOURCEFUL friends physically & via social media. if you check your friend-list now, are they really resourceful?

The third #CareerMistakesTeachersMake is lack of knowledge. Acquiring professional knowledge is the least thing most teachers would ever do. i'm aware that poor salary is a key factor but what about the informal education opportunities available online? update your knowledge & consequently acquire more skills. thus you would attract promotion to yourself. Do you say "i've done all these but nothing yet as a reward. then, read the no.4 mistake.

The fourth #CareerMistake is Patience & Prayer. promotion lasts only when God is the foundation. And to get enduring miracle from God, you need patience. you also should add prayer to activate and fire up the expected promotion. God works in diverse ways.so, don't be rigid as to where & when your promotion comes.

See you at the top. it's well with you. ✈✈✈✈
