Let's engage!!!

Hello Parents, 

                          By parents I mean parents, brothers who have sisters that are parents, sisters who have brothers that are parents, friends of friends that are parents, you know naa? You all are involved so to say, no one is left out, this message is literally for the adult community.

                          I write from the heart(true to God), you see this pandemic, this corona looks like its here to stay, I would relate my thoughts on that later but the matter is that I doubt schools are thinking of resuming anytime soon, even if they do I am sure 51% of you parents are not prepared to send your kids back to school with the rate the number of affected corona victims rises daily. 

                           Schools are charging enormous amounts for online learning which is not okay given the government's charge for it to be free. Data is consumed, the power holding company sef doesn't help matters with frequent blackouts for those of us that would love to follow government TV learning programs.

                         I opened up a WhatsApp group where I will daily upload learning materials, test sheets, audio books, and a lot of fun and interactive learning manuals that can aid you parents in engaging your children. Our children have been home for too long and it is making them complacent in their activities (observe for yourself so you'll know) they need to be active day in day out. Not just those three days their lesson teacher comes to take them for lets say 4hours. I have serious ideas on healthy fun learning activities for you and your kids, just join the WhatsApp group and thank me later. We kick off on Tuesday 16th June 2020. Join and help me help you improve your child's academic performance, and also build up a better relationship with you and your kid.

                                                          Your Friend

                                                                Mr M.

Erm before I forget, send a message to +2347055880979 so you can added to the WhatsApp group. Byeee.

What can we do for change?

We want the world to be a better place, we hate the discrimination amongst ourselves, we detest criminals and the crimes they perpetrate. We dislike unjust and selfish leaders. We want something different, we want a perfect world. We can create this perfect world!!  but how?! By grooming our children in the right way and providing the necessary materials and a suitable and peaceful environment for them to learn. (Proverbs 22:6)

Once they learn the best values and grow up in that light, the world would be perfect just when we are old and feeble and can't do much.

Very often we chase wealth, which of course is basic and necessary for survival but we in the process forget about what matters, children!! The Future!!! 

We put our kids in the best of schools, employ the best of teachers and then leave the learning process all to these educators who try their best but end up achieving less than is expected. 

We spend less time communicating with these educators and learning more about our kids and how to help them improve and instead focus on giving them treats and play thingys. 

When last did you read for your child? When last did you visit a library with your child or take him/her book shopping? When last did you ask your child to read a passage for you? Have you seen a movie with your child and then discuss morals at the end? Family engagement in children's education would go a long way in shaping the lives of our kids thereby shaping the future.

Let us do more, let our kids be our friends and a part of our lives. Let us be known as high standards enforcers and not just snack providers by these children.

What do you think?
