100 DAYS OF STEEM : My 42nd Diary Game - 8th July 2020
Hello my Diarists players!
My daily activities began at home when I woke up early dawn preparing lesson to deliver for my final year students on science. This was trial questions on 2017 BECE past question on Integrated science. I completed the teaching of my syllabus content, and therefore there is the need to brush through some of the relevant possible questions likely to drop in their upcoming BECE questions. As an experienced science who have taught for 11 years some the at least some of the trends of their questions which have been dropping, but this is not to assure the students fully of the same questions which are coming, but I wanted to prepare them because they will be meeting similar questions.
These trial questions were on their practical test knowledge and essay. Though they are also tested on objective questions, but because of time factor that one would be another day. Students find it very difficult to answer practical and essay questions. So they always need to be motivated and series of trial work should be done to eliminate that element of fear on them. Today happened to be the second lesson, and I gave them simple agricultural practical on gentle sloppy farmland. On this practicals, I asked them to answer few questions like: " what process is likely to occur on the farmland, and they were also to state 2 farming practices that could lead the answer mentioned in I. On the essay questions, I asked them simple chemistry questions on alloy and corrosion. After this answers for discussion were provided on the same sheet for discussion.
I was in the first period to deliver my lesson as the time table shows. So I went to school very early, I reached the school before 9 am, settled before I entered class. Here, the class has been split into 2, the form 3A and form 3B. The form 3A is in the original form 3 class, while the form 3B is now in form two. Ideally, we are only single stream school since our enrollment isn't large but due to the Covid - 19 and to also ensure social distancing, that's why we have split them. And this changes isn't our own authority but came from the Education Minister. So I first delivered in form 3B class before before form 3A class as the time table shows. This entailed writing of the questions on the chalkboard for them to solve themselves after this, there were follow up class discussion of the questions between them students and I. I put threw most of the questions on them after they have submitted their work for verification. This was to see how they were able to answer the questions effectively. After this I also gave them my reaction to their answers and corrected their mistakes. I finally gave them the tips of answering such questions.

I was discussing the lesson with the students here.
When we finished the lesson, they students came to me, I further motivated them to learn very hard for the 3 months ahead of them. They made fun with me and even my camera phone to snap few pictures. I was very happy see them around me.
When I finished delivering my lessons, what was next again? It was up to me to find myself chat with my colleagues teachers present who were also less busy. Well, it was few minutes to go but waiting for those teachers who were on the last period scheduled. I still have a very important task to accomplish at Mampong. This is just some business presentation my friend had worried me about for the past two week. He kept worrying me after he had explained the business plan with me. I didn't want to go since most network marketing are scams and I had experienced most of them which didn't help. That's why I want to be on Steem, stick to Steem and give my whole heart for Steem. He said the name of the business is called Qnet. I don't know if anyone of you in Steem here knows it. Well, he said he will come pick me with his motorbike, that's was why I agreed to go and see that business plan in Qnet. Immediately we closed from school he came and picked me. This is here we are at Mampong the Qnet office. Over here there were few in a room with these young hot Guys who are jobless. There was small Guy standing in front of introducing the business plan for us.
The whole business idea was to register with them which comes with buying one product from their company with the lowest amount being Ghc 4,000.000 which equivalent to $680.00 which is the same as $4720.00 Steem. After registering on this product, you now become a member where you need to sell 2 products in order to gain your commission. After the presentation I thought about it that investing that $4720 Steem in that business that I don't know it future can be invested here in Steem to earn additional Steem tokens. Though they gave a nice huge cash one feel blow if ones team grow, but that wasn't what I was looking for. My point was that is that realistic and achievable as he had drawn the business plan. What is the possibility of achieving that $1224 dollars in Ghana here where I know definitely that no company is paying that amount per my qualification and the job I do. Though it can be possible, but I doubted. So, when we finished the presentation, they asked me when am I picking their forms, and I said I'm going to think about it. We closed from there when it was 7:45pm. It even late hour, I just told my wife that I would be back soon. I reached the house when it was 8:3pm. I was even exhausted, I ate and bathed. I thought to sleep little and wake up to write my post, but woke up to see that it was even 12 midnight.
That was how my daily record of activities went today. My best wishes to everybody in this amazing game. Let's continue to show our staunch support for steem and make it a better place worth living.

I have always felt that students discover their better sides with practical and essay type questions. However, that does not mean I am against objective type questions. They do have relevance too, but whenever it will conflict with the former, the former should prevail.
So what I can understand is that Covid-19 has also put a bit of extra load on the teachers.
If you are talking about MLM and similar network business plans, then for sure they are scams, I have lost money in the past. Don't fall prey to their marketing. We are not that helpless today, we have blockchain technology, we have Steem Blockchain and its ecosystem.
If you power up 4720 STEEM then not only you can generate passive income from APR, curation, but also you can gain significantly in the next bull run. In such schemes, the top line generates money from the downline, so literally there is no use-case, how can such a business survive the long run, so eventually they fail and the downline lose all the money.
Thanks very much for your advise on this business

The green chalkboard in form 3B looks quite damaged which must make it difficult to write on.
How much would it cost to get a new board?
It will cost about Ghc 1,000.000/ $1,180 Steem/$170 Dollars. Thanks for your concern!
Thanks very much for your great support!
