While doing this morning clean-up at home, my memory took me to those early days after service when one was hawking one's CV like Akara and buns on the streets. What steadied my flashback was what a student did in a school I once taught. A fellow teacher had told her class in their first C.A to list the first ten chemical elements and this girl, instead of leaving out that particular question for lack of knowledge, went ahead to list it as follows:
1. Oxygen 2. Hydrogen 3. Nitrogen 4. Sleeping 5. Swimming 6. Jumping 7. Over 8. Above 9. Bird... I can't recall the number ten item. We couldn't help erupting in laughter as the teacher read the script to us.
This incident made another teacher to tell us his own ordeal, how he asked the same class to mention 3 problems of national population census in Nigeria and a student wrote: 1. You. 2. You 3. You.
Thereafter, we just went to the said class and wrote 'Olodo Republic' across the entrance. Students can be rude and funny sometimes.
Fellow Nairalanders, let me hand over to you at this juncture to recount a stupid or funny thing a student has done to you as a teacher or one you've done to a teacher as a student.
Happy Weekend.
