Merits Of Boarding System Of Schooling by yconcrete: 1:02pm On Nov 02, 2016 |
MERITS OF BOARDING SYSTEM OF SCHOOLING 1. Boarding Schools does not compromise their standard. Generally,there is a higher demand by the ministry of education, for the establishment of boarding schools than private schools. Some of those demands include: number of toilets in the school, number of class rooms, recreational centers, even the calibres of teachers employed, to mention but a few. These naturally put boarding schools at an advantageous position and give them an edge over day schools. 2. Availability of extra classes after lesson. One major advantage of boarding schools over day schools, is the extra attention given to students ,especially after normal school hours. A child may be naturally self disciplined ,and eager to study his or her books. However, domestic works are always there to compete with the little hours such a child has to study his or her books. As for a boarding student,he has full attention and concentration since there is no distraction in the form of work by parents and guardians. 3.Another benefits of boarding school is a close interaction between students and their teacher. Teachers mostly,adopt lecture method during class teaching due to the allocated time per subject. One good thing about lecture method of teaching is that it saves time. It helps to cover wide scope of areas in teaching. One argument about lecture method of teaching is that it may not take care of individual differences of a child. However, since it is suitable for a large class;it is often adopted by most teachers. It deserve to be stated that discussion method of teaching is however mostly adopted in a one-on-one education of a child. As a result, it is usually adopted in teaching borders,after normal class hours. Unlike lecture method which is teacher’s centered, Discussion method is child centered. It creates more bond between teachers and students. One of the consequences of a strong bond between teachers and students is that it boost students moral and confidence in such teacher; hence in the subject that such a teacher is teaching. Getting your students to love you as a teacher; is one of the best way in bringing out the best in your them. 4. Another advantage is the residential campus environment. The environment of a child among other thing, include his or her peers. One good thing that boarding school do to a child is that it paves way for such a child to mingle well with other children from various background. The environment of a child is therefore a unique setting that promotes common experience, camaraderie, friendship, trust and honesty between children and adults. 5. Another advantage of a boarding school is that students are uniquely prepared for life after school. This is because they arrive at college better prepared for academic rigor. Besides,they get to learn one or two surviving skills while in school. For instance, a DAY student who was bullied earlier by his or her classmate in school will most likely, report to his or her mum at home in order for her to come and fight for him/her. A BORDER, on the other hand,having realised that there is no one to fight for him/her, will definitely look for a way of fighting back or defend himself/herself. In other word,they also learnt how to be independent and responsible at boarding school,thereby preparing them for the challenges of life after education. 6. Students are conditioned for future success. This is because they are encouraged to achieve their full potential at boarding school. Studies show that boarding school graduates not only excel at university, but advance rapidly in their professional careers. Most State men making headlines in Nigeria today were product of boarding school. In conclusion, I am not saying that boarding schooling system is better than day schooling system. Of course, there are so many graduates who were products of day schooling system, and they are doing very well in their various fields. This article was rather written to encourage parents and guardians who are skeptical about putting their wards in a boarding school; not because they don’t like it but because they are afraid of what the future holds for their wards.
