my son in nursery was to go back for holiday tuition so the teacher asked if i will take him,i told her no,she asked me why.....i told her hata ile mchezo atacheza nyumbani ni masomo pia...

Nice post. I've always been against tuition for "minors". Why don't they just do with class 7 & 8 and 4th form alone? My rule is:
- kids go to school during school term,
- holiday is for madrasa in the morning and homework and play in the afternoon,
- then visit upcountry to see their grandparents & other relatives.

This way, their time is fully occupied and no much room for "idleness".


I thought there's a commandment against liying???

It's absurd to force kids in lower classes.
But again at times we blame teachers too much when we parents are to blame.
Whose fault is it if a kid is slow?
I know a school where only the slow minds are adviced to go for tuition with the parent's support and approval.
Why,ask yourself should 2 kids in same class,same teacher,same class/homework end up performing diff?

If I had a slow kid ataenda tuition! not sit at home playing comp games,movies,eating burgers and growing fat in the ears.

By the way when I was growing up in std 2,my dad employed a kiteacher to be teaching us over the weekends,imagine weekend time for our fav.programmes.!!nkt.
Damn we hated him to date.



News says door was locked from outside.
nkt.Painful

@essyk, i believe if a kid is slow in class, he probably has another gift like music, football, athletics, comedian etc. all these gifts cannot be discovered if the kid is only subjected to one environment.

parents needs to be more engaged in the learning process of their kids and ensure teachers to their work right. we have cases of best schools in the country finishing their syllabusss before mid year and start revisions to exam time.

Tell that to a stressed sweaty kenyan parent struggling to force a professional career out of his son or daughter.
Hatujafika hapo where these other talents are tapped properly and made to look attractive.
Even churchill's mother keeps asking him to get a job.She's convinced that comedy is not a career yet anafaidika.
You and I know that passing the national exam is the hallmark of excellence here.
