Kozelidir's Free Guide To Abolition of Private Tuition

Given that primary teachers are saying that the raison-d'etre for private tuition is a heavy curriculum kids can spend their afternoon doing all kinds of fun stuff if we lighten what they have to be taught. This can be done in two ways:

1. Get the grown-ups who design the curriculum to chop off enough material that will set our kids free after 14h30. We may be told that this is a complicated process that will take years and that teachers cannot possibly work faster than Prime Ministers promising more decent electricity prices. Fair enough. That's why we have an alternative solution.

2. Get a bunch of down-to-earth kids to tear off material they found absolutely boring in their preceding school year. That shouldn't take more than a couple of days.

Please make sure to check our other guides here including the very popular Kozelidir's Free Guide to a Successful Ministerial Resignation.

  1. Lex has this to say on the subject...
    He seems to forget the excessive weigh of the sacro-sanct syllabus, but he's not far away from the solution: how to motivate government school teachers to do their job in the classroom and ensure that their pupils are alert enough throughout the day for grasping their delivery and develop enough maturity to pass the end-of-year examinations. Is it not time to differentiate their salary and benefit schemes from other "ordinary" civil servants, but with a thorough (psychological) screening to avert seeing the teachers' name mentionned in Le Defi?

  4. @akagugo:
    I also do feel that teachers should be justly rewarded for their work. Prior to that, it is imperative that they go through a training where the pedagogy strategies are emphasised.

    How many of the teachers today are in the job because of their love for teaching? I know a lot of people who have gone into teaching because they consider it to be a cash-cow.
