Just caught up on this entire thread. I literally copy-pasted it for future reference. Thanks Mwalimu Marty

With respect i dont mean to digress for the main topic but i found this article in the Nation, on “the economics of higher education' by Dr. Bitange Ndemo. And i thought this should initiate public debate on our education system and returns.

Prof. Abletor Sedofia from University of Ghana has this to say to us:
*"Academic excellence is overrated! I said it. Being top of your class does not necessarily guarantee that you will be at the top of life. You could graduate as the best student in Finance but*
*it doesn't mean you will make more money than everybody else. The best graduating Law student does not necessarily become the best lawyer. The fact is life requires more than the ability to understand a concept,* *memorise it and reproduce it in an exam. School rewards people for their memory. Life rewards people for their imagination.*
*School rewards caution, life rewards daring. School hails those who live by the rules. Life exalts those who break the rules and set new ones. So do I mean people shouldn't study hard in school? Oh, no, you should.* *But don't sacrifice every other thing on the altar of First Class.*
*Don't limit yourself to the classroom. Do something practical. Take a leadership position. Start a business and fail.* *That's a better Entrepreneurship 101.Join or start a club. Contest an election and lose. It will teach you something Political Science 101 will not teach you.* *Attend a seminar. Read books outside the scope of your course.* *Go on*
*missions and win a soul for eternal rewards... Do something you believe in! Think less of* *becoming an excellent student but think more of becoming an excellent person. Make the world your classroom."*
John 5:17 But Jesus replied, “My Father is always working, and so am I.”

Did you get stuck selling the signature manenos?
This is an old thread but I signed up to say thanks for sharing your experiences here. It's a good realty check!

Bumping this thread in anticipation of a possible return to teaching, re-energized by a passion to pass knowledge. It seems Mwalimu did not have a good succession plan. After all, none of his students elevated himself/herself to a teacher in his absence. With grey hair gathering in his head and a receding hair line and with a walking stick, Mwalimu can only manage to get to class once a week. So he has been chasing wealth but came across a very interesting verse by the famous teacher in the bible. "Surely everyone goes around like a mere phantom; in vain they rush about, heaping up wealth without knowing whose it will finally be" Stay tuned.
