Now I'll talk a little bit nice, but unfortunately quite common for Nigeria Theme: The beats.
in both hospice and in the school (where in particular), children are beaten if they do not behave or take in the opinion of teachers or nurses something wrong. From a European point of view the shocking at first glance, but it sounds worse than it really witnessed here. Mostly I can understand that the few nurses give some kids a very hard slap to all the children somehow to get under control. Overall, it must be said, however, that all children and especially to the school children too much accustomed to be beaten when they do something wrong, so it is almost impossible to convey to the children without shock, that something is wrong or you itself is evil. So we had to fight in the first two weeks so pretty, the children to keep quiet, lest they be beaten by the other teachers. Meanwhile, we have found, however, alternative punishments, which are not associated with pain. As a teacher, you stand here, but under enormous pressure, as the children rumtanzen a part on the nose do not listen to us and sometimes beat, because they find it funny and because the other teachers to call on us again and again to beat the children . Overall, it gets here enormous respect for all teachers! So, if my former teachers are reading this, I now know what kind of a stress! J On the behavior of the children must be said, however, that the tutorial here, I do not believe corresponds to the age. The children are two to six years old and should spell out here already, and must include a lot to learn by heart, even the youngest can not yet speak properly. We're trying to make learning a little looser and connect the learning of animals, colors and body parts are used with games, dances and songs, which is extremely demanding and requires a lot of creativity and imagination. The top teacher is quite brutal and quite arbitrary in the distribution of shocks, but there are other teachers who beat very little. In the hospice, it is sometimes more difficult because children do not understand the disabled if they do not want something. They do but not the biggest problems, but rather the many children, want to play with me, jump on me on it, climb on me, and otherwise try to get my attention. Especially if you have a baby on her arm and they start first and then beat me nor the baby. If they will not be defeated by the nurses, this habit spread very quickly and every child wants the well try it. Then I have to be loud and try to bring the baby to safety. To the children but are very nice and every morning I am back on it. A volunteer who has already been here in Lagos and also works in a school has told me of their experiences and said that at some point already found its way without shock, which made me pretty motivated. However, the children at their school and almost never beaten.
Everything I have described here, may sound but for Europeans is pretty horrible, but here interpreted very differently. One must then also make clear that the beating in Germany was as usual a few decades ago. I can change little, because this here is firmly anchored to the culture, but I try to keep my thoughts and my German German morale, and thus faithful to show people that there is another way. I do hereby make Nigeria not down, but thought that it is important to add this aspect of my description. Children are hit and remains terribly, But everyone should be clear that this is a matter that has to develop here and in this description and in many stories worse comes across, as it is practiced really.
