A Definite Recipe for Unhappiness Is to Listen to What Others Have to Say About You. In Fact, You Can't Be at Peace Till You Learn to Ignore the Gossip and the Unkind Words Hurled at You. If They Have an Agenda, Nothing Can Stop Them. The Almighty Is on Your Side. Turn to Him.

Indeed We Find in the Quran That the Higher the Rank a Prophet or Messenger Has With Allah, the More They Were Insulted by Their People. Allah Mentions the Honor and Name of Musa Alayhis-salam More Times Than Any Other Prophet in the Quran. But the Insults His People Made Against Him Were Horrible. He Was Called a Magician, a Liar, and They Even Made Fun of How He Talked. But Allah Said About Musa, “a Noble Messenger Came to Them.” What We Learn Is That It Doesn’t Matter What People Say About You. As Long as You Have Allah, You Have Honor.

*TEN (10) MISTAKES NOT TO MAKE AS A 21ST CENTURY TEACHER*

(1.) Don't send a learner away from your class during teaching and learning as a result of bad behavior. This is because you cannot account for what the student may be doing outside and this can count against you if an accident occurs.

(2.) Don't touch a learner inordinately. This is because the learner might claim he or she was abused either sexually/physically.You may not be able to refute it.

(3.) Don't give assignments you don't have time to mark. Unmarked assignments or home work indicate incompetency/unprofessionalism.

(4.) Don't give emotional punishment to your learners. It reduces their chances of becoming a better learner.

(5.) Don't just teach within the period given to you, especially when you are preparing learners for external examinations. Do create more contact time for your learners.

(6.) Don't stay with a learner alone in a class, laboratory, office etc. Child's protection policy forbids it. Try and avoid "one corner" teaching.

(7.) Don't ask a child to kneel down for too long a time. He or she might have a health challenge you are not aware of.

(8.) Don't conspire against your school head( Head of Department, academic head etc). What goes around, comes around.

(9.) Don't be a difficult educator and avoid transferred aggression on any learner. Pocket your personal challenges and always be full of life.

(10.) Don't treat learners unequally. There should be nothing like favourite learner. Every child matters.

Happy teaching!

Note:
Pls, let your response be straightforward whether citing a scenerio or given a step by step approach
Thanks.

UNIQUE TALKS ANSWER

To handle a pupil/child that is stealing require patience, sacrifice, understanding, research, tactics and prayers.

Why? This is because alot of things might be responsible ranging from:

- Parent's character/behaviour: some of our parents do engage in petty stealing and thought the Children aren't watching. They learn from all you do. From that the parent must sacrifice to stop such attitude before it's too late. If not no amount of prayer can change it.

- Be very patience when handling the child while beating is on, don't be agressive and stop saying "wa fe ku leni" meaning you will die today and never you transfer aggression because many of us have passed through those stages and ours might be worst then but our parent managed the situation with a lot of discretions.

-Research: work along with the matured and an understanding teacher that would not stigmatise the child in the class or school environment but ready to fish out the type of peer group/what could influenced such attitude of the child in the school settings.

- The parent must be tactical in making sure the child has stop after series of warning and promising that "I won't do that again".
Leave money around the house or in your purse/wallet and open to see if the money would get missing or not. Check his or her bag frequently without him/her noticing but when you have fact, check in his presence.

- Understanding: Many parents do not care to know the type of child they have. We need to create time out of no time to chat with the children, through that you learn from them, know them and they know you better. Parent should stop complaining no time, for who? Your precious gift.

- Prayer can do wonders for many that take to precautions and corrections.
It must be done alongside the aforementioned in other to speed for a positive result.

Anyone is free to add more better ideas. Thanks and God bless.
