Steem4nigeria Accelerator Contest Week 32: What I wasn't taught in school
Hello everyone,
I am @peacebala
From Nigeria
School is an institute of learning, it's a place, building, structure or an envuronment specially kept for leaning. We all pass through stages in school and the school is planned in stages inorder to help a child's ability to understand according to his age and level of assimilation.
Are you of the opinion that school can teach you everything or you've got a contrary opinion
I want to first of all appreciate every teacher in the four corners of the earth. Teachers will be best to sincerely give their opinion on this matter. Teachers or school cannot teach everything because is not everything a teacher knows and we teachers always believe that we are also learning from the students everyday.
Generally, nobody on this planet Earth can say he or she knows everything. A teacher teaches book but some house chores are mostly for parents to put the children through and most times whenever I think about learning, I see that everyone is still in the process of learning and I can say professors are still in learning process too because he/she might know something and another thing might seem completely new to you so its normal.
What was that situation you found yourself that your years of learning in school could not fix?
Procatination. Right from my day one in my school I noticed I had this procastination spirit was hovering around me and as a student, it is not proper because it can make a student loss something good e.g Good grades.
Whenever I pick my book to read I feel so heavy. Sometimes I will sleep off and wake the following morning to prepare and go to school and same thing would happen again the next day so it is not helping at all rather it is making me more lazy to read, I battled with that and thank God I was able to work on it.
How did you end up fixing the issue?
I had to tell my friends to help me in prayer on that spirit because it was all time deceiving. I told them to join me in prayers which they did. I also prayed and fasted seriously because the whole thing was already affecting me seriously. God intervained and I am so happy to be who I am now. Right now anything I want to do, I do them without postponing or procrastinating and I am so glad.
In your opinion, how should learning in school be viewed and handled.
In my opinion, learning should involve practical application of whatever the children are learning in school. Lets take an instance on technical schools, this school is designed to help student know practically what they are been taught but in theoretical aspect and practicals.
I have a brother who graduated from technical secondary school and he is now a very good electrician. You can see that even at just that level, he was able to learn through practicals and its now bringing foods to his table. So I will advice that learning should not just be the theoretical aspect but both.
Thank you my friends and I invite my friends to join this contest.
