Teachers angry at parents

Malawi teachers

Teachers in Nkhotakota district have hit at parents who distract them in the line of their duty.

The remarks were made at Chankhasi Private Primary School during the 2016/17 academic year final term closing ceremony.

Speaking during the ceremony, the headteacher of the school Mr Ntchita criticized some unruly parents who attack teachers when they are performing their duty.

“I want to tell you that we are professionals and whatever we do is in line with our teaching profession. You don’t need to tell us what to do and when because that is against our ethics.

“If your child has been punished you don’t need to turn against us but understand our role. We have various ways of making your children responsible citizens so give us chance to do that,” Ntchita said.

The headmaster gave another recent example where a parent attacked teachers at the school for allowing his children to take measles-rubella vaccine.

“The vaccine campaign happened countrywide and for a certain unruly parent to just come at the school and question us was unjustifiable. Please parents you have to be civilized and stop behaving childishly because such campaigns will benefit your own children not us,” he said.

“If you wanted to attack authorities in such campaign, you could have gone to district health office not us because we were just the last players in the whole process,” Ntchita said.

Malawi24 caught up with one parent who concurred with the headmaster by criticizing the malpractice saying teachers should be free to do their work.

“Indeed it’s bad to be telling the teachers how to perform their duty because we are not teachers. They undergo a teaching training where they learn various skills of how to build our children,” She told Malawi24.

“Sometimes it’s just ignorance that drives some parents to act like that. People should become modern and stop interfering in things that they don’t have knowledge of.”

Asazabwere kwaine coz zautsiru sindifuna. If you don’t want us to mould your children’s behaviour then do it by yourself.

  40. Tinkakumba zimbuzi ife. Tinkalumidwa ndi mamvu, kukwapulidwa, all sort of punishments but now teacher are at our pride saying this was my pupil. To parents the best revenge on teachers is the pupils success. Teachers continue your duty.

  44. KOMA KUNO KU SOUTH AFRICA, MPHUNZITSI OPANGA MCHITIDWE OTELE BOMA LIMAMANGATU. MPHUNZI AMAMANGIDWA, NDIKUPHWANYA UFULU WA MWANA.

  45. Ufulu kwambiri wawononga maphuziro kapena autengera pagongo’ Ndiye pothawa mikangano aphunzisi azanga tiyeni makolo otero tiwasiye aziwonanga maphuziroko manso tipereke chibalo choyenera mogwirizana ndi msinkhu

  48. Koma mukapitilizakusakaza ndalama za SIG ndi WFP thru school feeding programme tithana nanu..
    Mulandila ma transifer musakufuna.
    Sometimes maphunzisi mumaganiza ngati makolo onse ndi mbuli and you take things for granted.

    13. Ofcourse we r able to read becouse you respected teachers did your best but remember that you teaching was just a way of sharing knowledge discoverd by others.
      To share knowledge shouldnt mean you r gods
      Otherwise you r just good people I appreciate much.

    16. But the teacher mustn’t take advantage otherwise he applied for that job so don’t take your stress from home and put it on the kids

  50. I think if you allow children to have rights at xool…… no wonder to see them dropping out xool with pregnancies &/ganja,midoli……
    I thank my teacher for the punishiment they gave me in those days….. now a good citizen..

    So punish them for the betterment of our nation….

  51. Punishment for what? They are there to learn not to be punished.adzangoyelekeza kumenya waine olo kumpatsa chibaro I SWEAR TO GOD I WILL TAKE THEM TO COURT.DZUKA MALAWI DZUKA ANA SAKUYENERA KUWAPATSA CHILANGO KOMA KUWAPHUNZITSA KHALIDWE LABWINO. Ma private schools are doing well in malawi but teachers dont punish/beat students.WINA AZANGOYEREKEZA HEHEHE TIDZAONETSANA

    1. I hope u once punished,,y u didnt go to court that time? Mwana wapatsidwa chibalo chosesa khoti lakuti lingamaweruze ma stupit issue ngati amenewo,kusiya milandu yaphindu,,,for ur information,teachers know their roles,,sangachotsedwe ntchito coz of punishin learners

    2. Ndipo kusesako amusesetse atamaliza maphunziro ake ndipo asese molingana ndi msinkhu wake or else tionetsanapo.Koma kungoyerekeza kummenya apo nde andiyamba dara

    3. Sindinapite ku khoti coz sindimkadziwa kuti kunali kundiphwanyira ufulu wanga ndimkamenyedwa daily akuti chifukwa walephera kuyankha yankho.But sindidzalora zomwe zimkandichitikira ine zichitikire mwana wa ine

    5. Even the teachers are there to teach not to be disturbed by your fools… you call your children … even fellow learners are there to learn not to be disturbed too… adzakhale mkalasi yaine mwana wakoyo adzakuuza zomwe ndimapanga kwamwana oyerekedwa…

    8. Ati a teacher punishing my kid the teacher who doesn’t know how to speak good English or how to write ntchito kumangosewela inewanga tingathane cz I’m not that dull like you

    2. Bambo Medson Bamboajoji zoona pa msinkhu wanu simunaone dzino likuchoka lokha kwa mwana???? Lichoke chifukwa chomumenya milomo yake isatupe??? Mphunzitsi amakwapula m’matako osati nkhope….. Umkhutukumve wa ana ukuchokera kwa makolo ngati INUYO…

  59. What kind of punishment was that made the parents go angry, maybe parents wanted to know exactly what went wrong. Teachers sometimes will beat a child based on their own frustration from home and parents have all it takes to question that kind of punishment, it is the parents right to know.

  60. Zitsiru zina zikungoti’ndiye adzamenye waine’ Zaiwala kuti kupanda zilango za aphunzitsi omwewo bwenzi zili mbuli zitheratu pano! Stupid parents to be indeed!

    1. AZAYEREKEZE WAYINE I WILL TAKE THEM TO COURT.MKU MALAWI KOKHA KOMWE LAMULO LOMENYA MWANA NDI KUMUPATSA CHIBALO KULIBE.MAYIKO AMZATHU ITS ONLY THE HEADMASTER WHO CAN BEAT NGATI MWANAYO WAVUTA KWAMBIRI

    2. Ubwere naye kuno emma mwana wakoyo ndizamubandula hevy. if u dont want ur child to b punished then b a teacher urself. shupit zako

    3. Kungomenya waine iweyo ukagona pa mphepo ndiiiithu sindingalore zofoira kuti mphunzitsi azimenya mwana waine imeneyoyo nfi yosatheka olo pang’ono

    5. Who said the best way of teaching a child is beating them it just shows how stupid that teacher is am the parent if he needs disciplining let me handle it myself not you I will surely do things to that teacher he will never understand and will curse the day he or she was born

    8. Spare the rod spoil thou child the BIBLE said … even the great Desmond Tutu .. m’busa recommended it in South Africa..to say thus the only way to sharp an African Child … enanunso ndi ndani kuti mwana wanu asakwapulidwe ..udzakhale mkalasi yanga nde adzikanyangw’a adzakuuza zomwe ndimachita

    9. It’s sad kuona makolo opepera, and the pupils always do nonsense because they know their parents will back them. And these pupils spoil other pupils with their pompous character.

  66. Good development coz other parents are ignorant they dont know their role on their children as they go to school as a result the learners become unruly.

    5. Ukamenye mwana wamwini vuto lomwe alinalo ukuliziwa wat if atakufera? Wat will u do? Muziganiza man I can see { je is a poes ding) fucking maas poes je moer

    4. You are not there to beat them,shame them,bully them,but u are there to teach them try and beat mine I bet you won’t like teaching again

    5. Just because Iam not a teacher by profession, but if I were one; I dont think I would be a coward who would be frightened whe the Lion stares.

    6. If to be a good teacher is to abuse kids then with me I will straighten you up,only in Malawi you can do that JCE teachers who are not even qualified and can’t even write nor speak good English teaching kids Chewanglish yet they bully them not with mine

  73. Dats part of class management! Parents must understand dis!Nowadays’ learners r naughty & wtout punishment dei cannot b responsible citizens.

  75. Nde kk imeneyo,if they want their children not to be touched THEY ARE FREE TO STOP THEM FROM GOING TO SKUL,AND LET THEM BECOME CHAMBA FARMERS!

  79. It’s 50/50 parents must worried about other punishments from teachers in another way must keep quiet and holding hands with teachers than complaining anything
