schools re-open but teachers strike.

@mukiha so jana u took your son to school and stood by the class while the teacher taught,and today u did the same but no teacher came so you left with the kid?
Ama how did you confirm all this?

It appears you do not have children.

Yesterday I took him to school. As he entered classroom I saw the teacher inside [luckily, I have a good view of the classroom from the dropping point]. Other children were hovering around as is usual in the morning.

In the evening when I got home I asked him the usual question "how was school today?" He gave the usual answer: "fine".

"Have you done your home work?"

"Yes"

"What subject?"

"English"

"Can I see"

I checked it, and it was the usual length. Then asked whether the teacher was in all day and he said yes..."no tutinathoma indo nyingi" {but we didn't learn many subjects}

For me that was enough confirmation that normal teaching was done since yesterday was the first day for them.

Mukiha, i like the fact that you follow up on your child. But the most impressive thing is the kid can speak kyuk. Good parenting!

For the record, I support the teacher's strike; sad that it affects children but I support it.

Why can't the government just hire more than enough teachers? It seems to cost much less than Kes 47b assigned to military (who can't even defend Migingo), and negligible per head as compared to MPs taxes (also sorted out).

Free Primary Education is the most significant contribution to Kenya society, in the same stature as new constitution in the last decade. How can it be genuine if they are not teachers? It's the teachers - stupid.
