Schools Became Houses Without Rules

THE CURRENT education system has given so much freedom to the pupils.

Pupils should not be beaten. They should not be locked outside for coming late. What alternatives does the current education system have to enforce discipline among our Namibian children?

Teachers are special people and they will never be happy seeing our precious future generations going to waste. No teacher will be happy seeing the generation he/she taught becoming unproductive.

School is a home, where the teachers are parents of all the children. There is no parent that hates his/her children. But children that are loved by their parents feel the opposite because their parents are always forcing them to work endlessly.

A house without order becomes a broken home, with no future and will be a poor house forever. Teachers are not learners’ enemies but their educators.

The only thing that pleases a teacher is seeing their products glowing and becoming active members of society. Nowadays teachers are an unhappy lot, because their energy and talent as educators are being wasted.

No black man liked school but we all love the results it brings when reinforced. The only time a black man will understand the importance of education is when he succeeds or when he is in street ,suffering. Therefore, for one to keep an African child at school and serious about it is by forcing her to be there.

Children are our friends, they are our bosses, thus we want them to succeed and not to end up in the streets. Parents want their children to be well-disciplined and conduct themselves well in society but the government is robbing them of this because schools are now houses without rules where every child does what he/she pleases. No uniformity in schools anymore. Cry for your future Namibia.
