Money is too small to save.

If the pay is too small to be saved, then going there makes no sense .If I can be sending an amount home that is at least 2 million in naira back home monthly, then there is nothing the kids there want me to do dt I won't do.Even if it involves bowing to greet them .After all, anyone dt hears u are there will expect u to be back rich.
At least, in 4 years, I would have made 94 million and I would japa back home and establish my own big business here.

Those children are even worse than the scenario up there

Nigerians and Ghanaians will never listen
They are the ones telling all kinds of stories when they get there and see the horrors.
Some parents are homeschooling the children because the school system offers nothing anymore

eben97:
AFTER MY small many years experience in this field both with d whites and d blacks,let give u my two cent;never allow your young kidson age lower than 18 to go study out there. The level of negative influence no be here o! No matter how strong u are .once you notice your child is not stable with character, please let white mans land wait untill he or she becomes very stable in character else that child Would become a Waste! Even to u a t d end of d day.they can go to d uni for masters but if they must go 4 degrees, please ensure they are already moulded and formed !

Police are always deployed out in large numbers when they close from school especially those bus stations. The crazy things they do no be here. So many of them are taken into custody daily still they fear nothing. I fear for what becomes of that country in the next ten to twenty years

We move still my brother because £2300 pounds a month is running into #1.5M if not more...
Whatever they want, they should write on the board, it's not my concern.
My concern will only be the £££ which I have already calculated in my mind.

This post have been long why plenty people come dey comment today abi is it now on front page?

You will pay tax, feeding, house rent and other bills from the £2300

£28,000 per year means a 'life of slavery' or 'lifetime rat race' What can £2,300 per month in UK do for you? The suffer no be small.

However, if you are a private school teacher in Naija, you can give it a consideration. For government teachers, you are much better off here.

You are talking rubbish. I was earning £28,000 per annum when I bought my first 3 bedroom apartment in Telford England.

KosiGee:


I thought the same. I didn’t believe such offensive statement would be written on the board and the teacher would not complain Ti the head teacher or invite another colleague to witness that…she instead decided to turn her back and wipe it off. Loads of rubbish. Where was this copied from? Source?

Her bag was thrown out the classroom and not a single student was with her in that when they were queried. Nonsense.

Hackney, London can be difficult place to live or teach…lots of Nigerians and Caribbeans there. Home to some of gangs causing trouble in East London as well but the schools are not as bad as it’s being painted here. There are lots of very hard working children of Nigerian parents there who want to excel and who still fear and respect their parents and elders especially teachers.

For those who don’t know Hackney, it’s not far from Stratford, site of the London Olympic stadium and it was home to Matthew Ashimolowo’s KICC church.

There are challenges being a teacher in the Uk but I disagree with the picture painted by the op.

Good point.

Scaremongers everywhere trying to dissuade people trying to seek greener pastures.

I have sister, brother and aunt teaching abroad who are even encouraging us to come over there and teach. If you failed to cope with unruly students in the school you are employed, leave and try another one.

All schools are not the same, we all watch foreign films, and we see that behavioral patterns in many schools are different.

chloedogie:


Start with his first line calling a child troublesome can lead the child into a mental breakdown or affect the child's esteem in life permanently. Does he know the implication of that? Some people who claim to know everything know nothing. Let him or her just go and teach for two hours and come back to share his experience in that UK class. Lol.

I worked as a Teaching Assistant in UK classrooms and know the lines one should not cross no matter the provocation, real or perceived.

Those children are even worse than the scenario up there

they won't understand until the come over. White kids are something else, if you're expecting the typical scenerio in Africa were a child would see you and greet you first, then you're wrong.

They won't greet you, most of them are rude. You would even want to hit them, but if one tries it, na jail o

The kids will always test your confidence and temperament. It is left for you to show them you cannot be intimidated. Once they know this, you will see that you become their best friend. But you must be tested and certified street wise with good English.

You cannot be timid on your first day, first day, first impression matters the most.

I remember when i went to teach in a private expensive school in Okota back in 2005. On my first day, the kids wanted to test me, na me end up shaking them, my sound knowledge of Biology and social knowledge free style intimidate them. The next day they all wanted to be my friend. The principal called me into his office and said what did i do or tell the kids. That they are all spoilt kids who always intimated their teachers. Till i left the school and to date some of the kids are still my friend.

Once you know what the kids like and speak in their language, it becomes easy. How can you go and teach kids when you don't even know about Disney Snow white or Cinderella or a bit of popular movies, actors, musicians etc., It just wont work.

JOACHINpedro:
And the discouragement begins

It's not discouragement. It's being informed. Many will apply thinking that it's like teaching in Nigeria. Not knowing that it's a mess over there with no protection in favour of the teacher.

Films like problem child gave a hint about what to expect. Even though problem child was produced in the 90s I think. Nigerians know how to adapt. It's a God given talent.
We also need to be informed. Which is what the OP is sharing to curb had I known.

being:
U haven't even mentioned the 40% tax yet..

And some will completely ignore the situation described above forgetting that having a 1-0-1 food regime in Nigeria is better than being insulted by kids...

U obviously don't know what u talking about. How can someone earning 28000 pay 40 percent tax.
A lot of unwill just sit down somewhere yarning dust.

After they spoiled their children finish and they can't handle them again, they are looking for the black sheep to heap the blame of their wrongdoings on..

And the mumu black self will be running helter-skelter to get a slot just because they want to go abroad..

Don't worry, u will hate the day u were given birth to.

Mindlog:


I believe you know the highlighted is unacceptable to the school management, teachers are not expected to record or snap such in the classroom....now, the threat to broadcast such is very unethical.

It is just a mere threat.. however you can still take a snap shot to show the school management because if you Do not.. you will be the biggest loser later. Just like the what the OP posted

I remember how some parents brought their children back from London to come school with us in Nigeria.

The three boys wan dey form gangster for school, then.

Na so strong hand from housemasters, fellow stubborn students and teachers that are wicked like wike, begin dey touch dem.

Well, the boys relaxed and later became good boys after the completion of their secondary school education.

Bro my aunt who was a director for over 25 years for one of the biggest care homes in the UK as a nurse lost her job just because she advised one of her staff who is a bit fat to be careful of where he goes to because of covid cos if he has the virus, he might struggle with it as WHO has said people on the big side may struggle with it. Omo like play like play he reported and she was even grateful to God she didn't loose her nursing license. She left with nothing after 25 years of service. She wan run mad after that case.

i pray this story is not true...

Being a teacher in the UK is a horrible experience — it is a taste of hell.
I was a teacher in Zimbabwe for over 10 years.

I loved my work; I remember assemblies where children would greet us in chorus.
I was proud to be a teacher.

Our students would salute and greet us on the streets, showing us respect.
A misbehaving pupil would hide, show remorse on being found out.

The day I left for the UK, I was excited and convinced that I would make an impact as a teacher in the land of the Queen.

According to Mhofu from Luton, teaching in the UK is no walk in the park.
Mhofu: “You know, if it wasn’t for teaching, I probably wouldn’t have travelled as much as I did. It was the teaching that got me around the world. But here in the UK, I got a rude awakening.

I got a teaching job at a school in Luton which was touted to be one of the best schools. I was grateful and overjoyed. On my first day in class the children looked at me as if they were seeing a ghost. One child raised his hand and said to me: ‘Are you an idiot’.
I was shocked; I was a teacher.

I looked at the child and wanted to hit him but I had been warned never to touch a child or I would die in prison. I pretended I had not heard the child then I heard another say: ‘Hey, are you deaf?’ I was so angry and I walked out to make a complaint to the teacher-in -charge. As I stepped out, the classroom broke into uncontrollable laughter. I had never been insulted by a child and let alone a white one. I was so angry l started shaking.

I walked into the teacher-in-charge’s office. He looked at me and said go and control your class first. I walked back in the class and everything that followed made me sick to my gut. I just had to leave the classroom as l did not trust myself not to take my typical ‘teacher action’ against these wayward children. I went home.

I got a call from the school which informed me that I had been fired because I had no confidence and skills of dealing with children.
I then got another job as a teacher. This time, I was called a ‘supply teacher’ who is equivalent to a temporary teacher. The only difference is a supply teacher is a qualified teacher.

I arrived at the school, this time determined to bring some order. As I walked into the classroom, I saw, on the green board, an offensive statement. It was a question: ‘What’s the difference between a monkey and a blackman?’

Just below it was an answer: ‘At least a monkey can climb trees.’ When I asked who wrote that in a very angry voice, the class remained silent.

I turned to the board to rub the offending statement. When I was done and turned to the class, I saw my bag fly out of the window.
I got angry and shouted at the class. The head-teacher and a few other teachers rushed to the class. The pupils all rushed to one corner and on seeing the headmaster, they started screaming.

The headmaster, in front of the children told me I was intimidating the kids and making the learning environment a war zone. I told him they had thrown my bag out of the window and had written racist remarks on the board.

The head-teacher said he could see nothing on the board and the kids shouted that they had thrown it out after I had tried to hit them with it. I was asked to go home and reflect on my teaching skills.

The classroom is controlled by children; you must do what they want and you must not dictate to them. The head takes the word of the child against yours. Now I am working towards extracting myself from a career I was passionate about and I ask myself why?

Those who are thinking of teaching here must brace themselves for a torrid time.” According to Paul Taruvinga: I had my interview with a teaching agency in the UK before I finished University.

I was accepted and so when I arrived in London in 2003 on my UK working holiday visa, I was ready to start my teaching career in Hackney, East London, an area I was soon to discover to be one of London’s most challenging.

I wasn’t quite ready to settle into a full time job so I went straight for the supply (casual, substitute) teaching. This meant I was running all over the East End, going to different schools every day. It was a great way for me to get to know the city.

It was also a fantastic way for me to learn how to be an adaptable teacher – different students, different classes every day.

One day I was called to the headmaster’s office; I was informed that a child had complained that I speak so loud that the child is now having sleepless nights. I was asked to lower my voice or I would be sued if the child went deaf.

I am not a loud speaker; I was shocked. I could not answer. Then one day I was accused of sexual abuse. I was alleged to have touched a girl-child on the shoulder. I was told any form of touching was abuse. I was suspended.

After three months of no pay, I was reinstated. I now hate teaching with a passion.”

John Dickson: “l was reprimanded for calling a child ‘my son’. When I came to school the following day there was a fuming parent who said to me: ‘Hey, my son has a father at this school now!’

I said I didn’t know about that and then she accused me of calling him ‘my son’ the previous day in class. I went numb.

She went to the head and I was seriously admonished.” The culture here is so strange. There is nothing like stopping students from throwing chairs at each other. The schools here are a complete opposite of the schools back home. Teaching is a nightmare here.
It is the most stressful job in the UK.

You must be a joke. I can point out five things in your ideas that will lead you to jail. The least for each count is five years in a correctional centre. Some of you don't know shit about UK laws when it comes to children. Lol. You are funny sha. .

You will need a lawyer to get minimal punishment. And hope you know how much it takes to get a lawyer in the UK per hour. Not all these charge and bail nuisance ones in Nigeria with 25k they can represent you for a full year oo.

I have been and lived in almost all European counties..including Australia. I have related with so many native and foreign teachers and I know what it is to deal with kids. However some can be very handful and frustrating.

You are not a serious person ó!! U are Happy about d thought of raising your children where there is no discipline... U think kids listen to talk alone.. ? Why do u think the kids there have numerous issues of drugs, gangs, general violence , irrational behaviour & unwarranted depression?
Why do u think kids in Nigerian private schools where discipline is being relaxed are also not growing up well?
U had better be reasonable fornd sake of ur kids

If not for them White people, we'd never be able to make it this far in life. Even if they ask to open your mouth and pee inside, it's worth it. Mind you, their pee doesn't smell. We're supposed to be eating their poo. Because, come to think of it, these oyinbo people are better than us in all ways. They pity us to be coming to their country so we can be successful in life. Do you think an average Nigerian can be successful without setting foot in the abroad? Hell No. Seriously, we're supposed to slave ourselves to death to satisfy the White people.

In general, no.
GDPR rules place a huge burden on any organisation collecting data in an educational setting, and most schools simply do not have the capacity to meet the conditions required.
