I HAVE never taught in a primary school before, and so I don’t have first-hand knowledge of the challenges the teachers there face. However, I know people who do, and at times, listening to the many things they have to deal with, convinces me that there may be no justifiable basis for all the grumbling I sometimes do about secondary school teaching duties.
I was talking to a friend who has been teaching at a national primary school for years and have complained to her about the problems I faced dealing with students who dozed off in class, who didn’t hand in work or had no respect for authority.
