Is the child in school only to pass exams? <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Is the teacher\u2019s job only to prepare the child for exams? <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Is there any other thing needed from the graduating child aside the passing of exams? <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Does the entire life of every school child depend on the outcome of BECE OR WASSCE? <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Even the exams itself, is it meant to pass everybody?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dreams Killed?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Now the schools kill children\u2019s dream instead of developing the dreams. <\/p>\n\n\n\n We have made the school a fertile ground for children good only in the cognitive sense. and the children with the affective and psychomotor skills are made to look like a goats in a sea. <\/p>\n\n\n\n That\u2019s why the framers of our curriculum have added activities such as P. E. and music and dance. But now if you go to our schools the P. E. periods are used for teaching the so called important subjects. The music and dance has now become like salt in a bucket of water. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The making of crafts for our day is no longer in existence. This all goes to make a school a one way traffic.Every child is born with a natural talent. Every child is unique. <\/p>\n\n\n\n So as teachers our job is to discover this talent and help the children to develop them. But we end up trying to force the children to accept what they are not and if they don\u2019t conform then we label them useless. What a pity? <\/p>\n\n\n\n
