In dis age... ...go and find out d author is still struggling... His village ppl

bolaji3071:
Every children at that level. That is the only way they can understand it better.

sureteeboy:

If head is used for thinking, what is the brain used for?
We need to understand how learning works at the elementary level

Dreyton36:
The author must be a very poor village headmaster who has a farm right in his school compound

Oyiboman69:
rich man...have taught a kid before?,don't you know you'll have to go down to their level just to make a point?,

Let me make an example for you...I've seen a teacher using her elbow just to make the inequality sign...
the greater than,and the lesser than sign just to make them understand.

I believe you've not even taken your time to sit your children down anytime before... You are here displaying your oversabi attitude.

oldtruth:


What is head used for? Tell us. Is it to nod ball alone? Or what is wrong with this people?

lozanni:


Nothing, but the primary position of the author should have been that the head is where the human brain is located and it is used for critical thinking.
The author's after stating the above could then state that the head can also be used for carrying loads over a distance.

lytech1:

you knw nthg or little abt teaching.
am sure d text is for pry1 or pry2 class.
for their level,thats the best their brain can assimilate easily.
the author needs to come down to their level

Ayemileto:


You're contradicting yourself already.

In your post up there, you said you get introduced to basic science in Primary 3 - 5.

Right here, you're saying Sense Organs is being taught in Primary 1.

Is that not part of basic science?


In another of your post, you also said you didn't know what the skull is in Primary 1, but here, you're claiming Primary 1 pupils don't have problem understanding what the brain is.

Erosion2020:
Looking at the boy head u find out that the author is still right, that head is position to carry load.
But what is wrong in using your head to carry load?

femi4:
you are wrong. What happened to "The head houses or protects the brain". That's the primary function of the head.

Don't tell me pry1 or pry2 pupil will not comprehend that

Eulalia:
Buahahahaha. Oh my gosh ...

Ok, all of you complaining here, let me direct the question to you.

What are the functions of the head?

As an educationist, i dont see anythig wrong with this lesson. These things are used to teach children about practical life.
For example, we use our legs to walk
We use our eyes to see
We use our hands to touch take objects and so on. So what would you now say you do with the head if not to carry loads?

Free them abeg.

Answer my question o. Hehehhehehhe

skimena:
The head is for u to think of how to go ahead in life n not to carry load.

Biafra1stson:
This was the book Buhari used in primary school

backbone503:


And you feel teaching those lil ones that the "head is used to think" is too much for them? See, education in Africa is really retrogressive.

In secondary sch, they teaching how to find x, instead of giving them necessary required skills to independently thrive in today's world.

supernigga:
As an educationist you should see everything wrong with it, carrying load on the head is one of the most dangerous things to do with the head and at that stage it should never be taught, because it is usually done in these part of the world doesn't make it right. There's a lot of things we have to correct about our education which will in turn bring about societal change. Teaching a child to use their head to carry loads at this stage is already damning their mentality.

Dreyton36:

YOU DON SPEAK GRAMMAR FINISH)?
NOW CLAP FOR YOURSELF
You are a carton

Dreyton36:

You just said I know nothing and you're saying saying the author needs to come down to their level
Now ask yourself, are you alright at all?
