TEACHING A STUDENT - STUDENT LEARNING - MY EXPERIENCES WITH MATHEMATICS

This is a woman magazine but today I will make an exception. Exceptions are acceptable by the way. Women are not rigid. They are, on the contrary, quite flexible and understanding people. They are bearers of love and care. They are made to nurture and whatever emulates nurture, they will embrace.  They will nurture a young to an adult and whilst at it, teach the young how to be a great adult.  I will therefore take this opportunity to write about a very special subject to me. The subject of teaching and learning. This is my experience as I ventured from childhood into adulthood to be a force to be reckoned with. I remember, as a young teacher when I started out on my career, as a determined and confident individual, who could be highly analytic and inquisitive. This one time, my first Principal commented, casually as she used to and I would always listen to her casual comments because they carried some gist or substance. I am not sure of the basis of her comment that day as ma...

WOMEN AND THE NEW AGE (4IR)

                                       I guess it would be that time when we would comfortably say technology illiteracy belongs to women. Yes, because the best stuff belongs to men. Progress and all. My bad!! Sarcasm right there!!  Unfortunately, I have bad news for men...women are so technologically literate, so much that it hurts men. Women are into technology like nobody's business. Gone are the days when we believed that knowledge comes from men. No, no, no. Knowledge comes from all directions now.  Women are so technologically literate, it is still unbelievable. Yes, to some of us who still live in the dinosaur era, it is still completely unbelievable. Women who know how to operate the computer and everything that needs buttons to press for operation and functionality! Women can pilot airplanes, drive trucks, buses, trains, steer ships and go to the moon and the bottom of ...

Women and sexuality

Women and their sexuality have never been celebrated. This topic has been viewed as non existent. This is due to the fact that women have been viewed as reproduction instruments, only to bring forth offsprings. Many women also prefer to pretend that they have no sexuality. Its a shame. This is a result of lack of pride in themselves obviously. Few women are open about it and talk about it. Some talk about it as taboo. They are stuck in history not in the present days.  Historical tendencies vs modern tendencies. That was when things were never discussed and children were told that babies come from aeroplanes. Should young ones dare speak about it they'd be shunned and ridiculed as if they made a suggestion to kill someone. It is as if it's some unholy subject of sorts. Parents would rather wait until their girls got pregnant to be comfortable to talk to them about it. It's a shame. Shyness of what one engages in themselves. Today, modern women talk about it even to their yo...

Women and basis of their attitudes towards each other

This can be very intriguing. Naturally, it would be expected of a woman to support another woman in different aspects and not judge, hate, ridicule or even call names. But, women can have a whole longer agenda privately than they can admit. Women can pull each other down Yes, reasons at face value, can sound genuinely based enough but going deeper, a lot can be uncovered. First of all, women have a lot to deal with. Expectedly then, this lot to deal with, this heavily laden itinerary would disallow a woman time to diss, to look down , to tear down another woman. It would be expected that a woman would be too self absorbed, too busy and "too classy" to go that low. Believe it or not woman can find all the time despite this busy schedule to spread all the negative energy towards other women. Women are supposedly pre occupied and self indulged with a whole lot of good, better and best things. How do they then find the time to go about their poisonous agenda? Unfortunately they d...

Women and number of partners

Women can and are able to date a number of men at a single instance. This is affectionately called multi tasking. It is caused by issues as follows: (i) Overstressed women. It can be a form of stress relief. How? Women can find themselves in unhappy relationships. Their love, care and attachments to the other  partners might keep them from leaving, thus commiting some form of adultery. (ii) It can be due to underlying psychological issues but this is not confirmed, just my opinion. It could be much the same as the above but its handling can portray it as different. First of all people in this kind of partnership seem well in love, happy and cooperating well with each other. They seem to be in a perfectly loving and respectful partnership but what causes the woman to look beyond what she has? These are questions outsiders/onlookers prefer to find answers to without having any knowledge of any facts. In this type of partnership, they prefer to simply label the woman a whore. Fair or ...

Woman of peace or woman of conflict?

You can either be described as one of the two: She is at peace within herself and with herself.  She is in conflict within herself and with herself.  Woman of peace is life, embraces nature. She is humble but knows herself and stand up for herself and very genuine for all she cares. Woman of conflict believes that life revolves around her and rejects nature. She is disdainful and has no idea who she is, seeks to control life and artificial. You are never born with these attributes but they are simply chosen by one's set of thought processes. You can be a woman of peace, by naturally looking at everything and creating peace in it or through it. Yes disruptions come and go but how you go through determihes the woman that you are. You can go through conflict but how you remain after all the conflict determines who you are. Going through fire makes you no fire but a burnt victim. You choose to live as a burn victim or whatever you are or decide to make it look effortlessly easy to...
