Canadian school teacher shares personal experience
In the TikTok video, she spoke about how the students carry out their morning activities when they arrive at school and compared it to the situation in Nigerian schools.
Speaking about what shocked her when she moved to Canada and became a teacher in a school, she said the first thing on her list is that there is no assembly, as the students mostly go to their various classes when they hear the bell.
Her statement:
"Every time I tell someone I'm a teacher in Canada, especially people who recently met me, they would ask me, 'How is it like teaching in Canada?' and I always say I love it here. But did I always feel like this when I first came in? No."
"When I first entered the Canadian school system, there were so many things that shocked me. I will share three things with you today that shocked me as a new teacher in Canada."
"The third one will burst your brain, and I want you to stay till the end for this."
"The first thing is that there is no morning assembly in Canadian schools. It doesn't happen here."
In the same first point, she spoke about how a teacher can't just leave her class for whatever reason, as they could be called to return to their classroom after their name is announced through the school speaker.

@oyindamolaalao28 continued in the TikTok video as she mentioned the second thing, saying there is no note writing on the board unlike in Nigeria.
Her statement:
"The second thing is that in Canada, they don't write notes. We print stuff, and we put things online for people to access."
Lastly, she mentioned the third thing as the casual dressing of staff members in the school.
She added:
"The third thing and the final thing is that this one really shocked me. The teachers' dress code.
"In Nigeria, we used to be all formal. We used to think that you should dress formally and come to school, but in Canada, most times in summer, teachers can wear shorts, they wear slippers. In fact, even administrators dress casually."
