Do Teachers Teach For Passion Or For The Money Involved? by aboyaji(m): 3:39pm On Sep 18, 2014 |
just got a call yesterday from one secondary school with the help of my friend who happens to be a teacher too in the school. I didn't later go for the interview because, i asked that my friend the amount they pay teachers there. The price wasn't attractive. Later in the evening, another teacher from the same school came to me and asked why i didnt show up as expected, i told her i had no chance(lies, though). I promised her i will come today that they should expect me. I asked the teacher how attractive the salary is which she didn't open up to me but said ' TEACHING IS A THING OF PASSION, BUT NOT A THING OF MONEY'. I grinned and left. As it is today, i haven't gone to the school. The pay i make personally is far better than what they offered. Nairalanders! ... Choose one

There are no jobs outside and people need to survive they don't have a choice than to do it. There are still people that are passionate about it. If I'll teach it will be because I love it but it doesn't mean I'll go hungry. If its not paying I'll have to stop it |

Teaching should be a thing of passion. When one is passionate about something that person can go extra length to be productive and add value in the lives of the young ones. But this is mostly not the case in Nigeria. People just go into teaching as a temporary job in other to survive and this is one of the reasons our kids are not doing well academically. Teaching is a profession and teacher should be in that profession for the long run. But the possibility of this been the case is a long shot. Because, as long as the government still desire to make all corpers temporary teachers, teaching will never be taken as a professional job |
