UI lady frustrated by public school students
In a video posted on her TikTok page, @moetunrayo explained that she was initially prepared to impact knowledge and give her all to the pupils. However, she noted that the reality on the ground in the public school where she was posted was far from what she expected.
She highlighted a stark difference between public and private schools, noting that the lack of discipline made her work useless. According to her, the students showed little interest in learning despite her best efforts to prepare for them.
While sharing her experience, she captioned the video and said:
"I used to love teaching but I don’t anymore, thanks to the school I’m currently doing my teaching practice……. The difference between public schools and private schools is something worth looking into. I’m a bit sad because I was so prepared to pour into them, I was prepared to impact and I was ready to give my all but these students rendered my efforts useless and ineffective".
