In the Wednesday conversation it was all about the things parents are being asked to do with students in the CBC system. How are you as a parent supposed to make compost material. And who decides this homework? Maina posed
‘Ni curriculum’ Mwalimu told him. ‘When did you last use scissors? Yani the pressure. Shida si walimu ni stipulated curriculum. You are supposed to bond with your child doing these things. Mtatuua. Yani you have pressure of homework, mshwari imekuja sasa ile pressure iko unafaa kuniona nikinunua manila paper. Unakumbuka crochet? Weuh homework mta ua wazazi wanajenga corset with the help of your parent’ he addedpupils at westlands school for kcpe
Wha do you go through? Let’s talk coz if we dont talk we will die Maina urged parents.
Kingangi kept ranting about his experience ‘Wazazi wanalala offisi. A whole accountant being asked to take a picture of a mosquito sleeping at night. Surely’ Mwalimu ranted.
A mother called in to complain how she looks crazy on the side of the road searching for bottle tops to make shakers and put them together with a string ‘Hii kitu nishida nimetoka job nafikiria school fees na mtoto ananiambia shakers are needed in the morning’
A laughing Maina sympathized saying he would pass along to Education CS George Magoha the challenges parents are facing.
The horror parents are going through became even more apparent when a man from Kayole told Maina that he was once expected to make something from red soil which he can’t get from Kayole. He told ‘yani Maina ilibidi I go to the Chinese road construction to beg for soil. Imagine Muga3be kama mimi nikibeba soil’
Dear classic 105 fam, what are you going through with this system of education?
