REASON WHY STUDENTS SHOULD STRIKE.

There are at least 10 reasons students should strike. They are:

1. Test Prep - Months before high stakes testing happens, students have to do test prep after test prep. That is mind numbingly boring! And it does nothing to prepare them for the future.

2. Testing - For at least one hour a day over a period of weeks, students have to take math and science state exams, which never really give them any feedback on learning. They are slapped with a score that is never really explained to them, which is more of a state issue than a school issue. Tests are used to sort students into groups that are supposed to provide them with help that they may or may not need because that grouping is based on one moment in time from how they did on a test. The Seattle teachers boycotted this last year.

3. Their perspective - What do students want to learn about? What do they have on their minds? Their perspective is used as an excuse for why we ignore student surveys. We simply say we don't have to listen to the surveys because they are the students' perspective. That's exactly why we should listen! It doesn't mean we can always meet their desire, but at least let them understand why.

4. Sit & Get - We would strike if we had to enter a classroom every morning, or multiple classrooms each day, and wait to find out what we will learn and then be taught the exact same way every day. It's why adults hate most professional development but we do it to our students.

5. Lack of connection between what they are learning and their everyday lives - Why are we learning this? This question has been probably happening for centuries! Why can't they experience cool learning like Pixar in a Box or other creative ideas that would maximize learning.

6. No one knows students hopes and dreams. If we are to ever connect with students we need to know something about them. According to Quaglia and Corso's research, only 34% of students believe teachers know what they want for their future.

7. Lack of personal care. 45% of students don't think teachers care about them as an individual (Quaglia & Corso). We do things for people that believe in us, that we care about, that have high expectations for us. How can we expect students to give 100% effort when half the students don't think we even care about them?

8. No one listens. Students have something to say and all students have something to teach us, yet only 52% of students believe teachers are willing to learn from them.

9. They have no voice in decision-making - We don't involve students in decision making. We just tell them after a decision has been made and expect them to follow without question! Do you know that when students have a voice they are 7 times more likely to be academically motivated to learn (Quaglia & Corso)?

We think the biggest reason they should strike is #10

10. Because they can! - There are more of them than us! During the 60's and 70's we saw student protests in higher education and many changed not only what was happening in colleges and universities but had a profound impact on society in general, from civil rights to the Vietnam war.

The voices of students were heard because they stood up for something that was greater than themselves. Those students had a sense of purpose. Those students had a conviction and passion for something better. Those students made a difference. Those students didn't always worry about being compliant, because they knew there was more to life than that.

WHY YOUR MAN MAY TELL YOU HE IS NOT PLANNING TO MARRY YOU

WHY YOUR MAN MAY TELL YOU HE IS NOT PLANNING TO MARRY YOU!

Ladies must be careful with their partners.
Your man tells you he is not planning on having kids or getting married anytime soon as
he is still sorting out his life and you as his girlfriend thinks he is joking. He tells you he wants
to have his second degree, a proper house and a
bigger car first, you sit there smiling with just a
birth certificate thinking you'll be the wife?
With the little he has, you keep ask for gifts like Brazilian hair and timberland, beautiful necklaces, taken out etc. He goes to work and goes straight to class after work, leaves you in pajamas and finds you in the same pajamas. While he is busy studying (planning for his future life), you are busy watching latest movie series, soups, and Nigerian movies . He comes back home to find chips and chicken in the microwave everyday,  the house is clean and his clothes ironed. The only serious conversation you all have is about the type of groceries, clothes and food you guys need. As a lady "girlfriend" the only real skill you have is taking photos and updating your
instagram, twitter and Facebook. You are just anti slaying queen with
flowers on the head.
The only advice you give him is "babe you need to
buy new socks, the ones u bought last time are
torn" nothing intelligent comes out of your
mouth. You do not have plans of making your own life better yes, you are pretty no doubt about that!
Your bed game is so pretty good. Forgetting 
so is every second girl passing by.
Now you do not realize anything. My dear sister, you and any other house lady (maid)  out there resembles each other because you are doing everything a
maid does. Your man so called "honey " is going to complete his school and the first thing his going to do is to  REPLACE HIS MAID so called "girlfriend"
cause he can now afford to pay for one and have a
PROPER WIFE to marry.
That's when we are going to  hear your famous last words
"I was with him through thick and thin when he had
nothing, now that he is successful he thinks I am
nothing"
Yes you are right, you have  always been NOTHING but a maid to
him. He does not deserve a house girl but a proper wife material.
Empower yourself to be the woman your man wants to
be with for life. A woman who will be able to carry the
whole family if anything happens to her husband's health and family.

WHY PANIC??

IMPORTANT THINGS TO NOTE!

Beauty is not a guarantee to marriage . Falling sick does not mean you are about to die. Getting rich is not the definition of prosperity. Building a nice house is not enjoying luxury. Sleeping on an expensive bed does not bring you sound sleep. Driving a new car is not a guarantee that you gonna reach where you are going. Wearing best clothes does not mean they are fitting you. Owning a family doctor does not guarantee permanent health. Being highly educated is not a sign of wisdom. Marrying a rich guy does not guarantee happy marriage. Winning an argument does not mean that you are correct. Whatever is done without the merit of Heaven is fake and temporal. He who builds without God is building for nothing ; and he who watches over a city without God, watches in vain. Not everything is possible with men, yet everything is possible with God. Involve God in everything you do.

LOVE,BETRAYAL AND MARRIAGE.

MARRIED OR NOT, YOU SHOULD READ THIS!!!!
“When I got home that night as my wife served
dinner, I held her hand and said, I’ve got something
to tell you. She sat down and ate quietly. Again I
observed the hurt in her eyes.
Suddenly I didn’t know how to open my mouth. But
I had to let her know what I was thinking. I want a
divorce. I raised the topic calmly. She didn’t seem
to be annoyed by my words, instead she asked me
softly, why?
I avoided her question. This made her angry. She
threw away the chopsticks and shouted at me, you
are not a man! That night, we didn’t talk to each
other. She was weeping. I knew she wanted to find
out what had happened to our marriage. But I could
hardly give her a satisfactory answer; she had lost
my heart to Jane. I didn’t love her anymore. I just
pitied her!
With a deep sense of guilt, I drafted a divorce
agreement which stated that she could own our
house, our car, and 30% stake of my company. She
glanced at it and then tore it into pieces. The
woman who had spent ten years of her life with me
had become a stranger. I felt sorry for her wasted
time, resources and energy but I could not take
back what I had said for I loved Jane so dearly.
Finally she cried loudly in front of me, which was
what I had expected to see. To me her cry was
actually a kind of release. The idea of divorce which
had obsessed me for several weeks seemed to be
firmer and clearer now.
The next day, I came back home very late and
found her writing something at the table. I didn’t
have supper but went straight to sleep and fell
asleep very fast because I was tired after an
eventful day with Jane. When I woke up, she was
still there at the table writing. I just did not care so
I turned over and was asleep again.
In the morning she presented her divorce
conditions: she didn’t want anything from me, but
needed a month’s notice before the divorce. She
requested that in that one month we both struggle
to live as normal a life as possible. Her reasons
were simple: our son had his exams in a month’s
time and she didn’t want to disrupt him with our
broken marriage.
This was agreeable to me. But she had something
more, she asked me to recall how I had carried her
into out bridal room on our wedding day. She
requested that every day for the month’s duration I
carry her out of our bedroom to the front door ever
morning. I thought she was going crazy. Just to
make our last days together bearable I accepted her
odd request.
I told Jane about my wife’s divorce conditions. .
She laughed loudly and thought it was absurd. No
matter what tricks she applies, she has to face the
divorce, she said scornfully.
My wife and I hadn’t had any body contact since
my divorce intention was explicitly expressed. So
when I carried her out on the first day, we both
appeared clumsy. Our son clapped behind us,
daddy is holding mommy in his arms. His words
brought me a sense of pain. From the bedroom to
the sitting room, then to the door, I walked over ten
meters with her in my arms. She closed her eyes
and said softly; don’t tell our son about the divorce.
I nodded, feeling somewhat upset. I put her down
outside the door. She went to wait for the bus to
work. I drove alone to the office.
On the second day, both of us acted much more
easily. She leaned on my chest. I could smell the
fragrance of her blouse. I realized that I hadn’t
looked at this woman carefully for a long time. I
realized she was not young any more. There were
fine wrinkles on her face, her hair was graying! Our
marriage had taken its toll on her. For a minute I
wondered what I had done to her.
On the fourth day, when I lifted her up, I felt a
sense of intimacy returning. This was the woman
who had given ten years of her life to me. On the
fifth and sixth day, I realized that our sense of
intimacy was growing again. I didn’t tell Jane about
this. It became easier to carry her as the month
slipped by. Perhaps the everyday workout made me
stronger.
She was choosing what to wear one morning. She
tried on quite a few dresses but could not find a
suitable one. Then she sighed, all my dresses have
grown bigger. I suddenly realized that she had
grown so thin, that was the reason why I could
carry her more easily.
Suddenly it hit me… she had buried so much pain
and bitterness in her heart. Subconsciously I
reached out and touched her head.
Our son came in at the moment and said, Dad, it’s
time to carry mom out. To him, seeing his father
carrying his mother out had become an essential
part of his life. My wife gestured to our son to
come closer and hugged him tightly. I turned my
face away because I was afraid I might change my
mind at this last minute. I then held her in my
arms, walking from the bedroom, through the sitting
room, to the hallway. Her hand surrounded my neck
softly and naturally. I held her body tightly; it was
just like our wedding day.
But her much lighter weight made me sad. On the
last day, when I held her in my arms I could hardly
move a step. Our son had gone to school. I held
her tightly and said, I hadn’t noticed that our life
lacked intimacy. I drove to office…. jumped out of
the car swiftly without locking the door. I was afraid
any delay would make me change my mind…I
walked upstairs. Jane opened the door and I said
to her, Sorry, Jane, I do not want the divorce
anymore.
She looked at me, astonished, and then touched my
forehead. Do you have a fever? She said. I moved
her hand off my head. Sorry, Jane, I said, I won’t
divorce. My marriage life was boring probably
because she and I didn’t value the details of our
lives, not because we didn’t love each other
anymore. Now I realize that since I carried her into
my home on our wedding day I am supposed to
hold her until death do us apart. Jane seemed to
suddenly wake up. She gave me a loud slap and
then slammed the door and burst into tears. I
walked downstairs and drove away. At the floral
shop on the way, I ordered a bouquet of flowers for
my wife. The salesgirl asked me what to write on
the card. I smiled and wrote, I’ll carry you out every
morning until death do us apart.
That evening I arrived home, flowers in my hands, a
smile on my face, I run up stairs, only to find my
wife in the bed -dead. My wife had been fighting
CANCER for months and I was so busy with Jane to
even notice. She knew that she would die soon and
she wanted to save me from the whatever negative
reaction from our son, in case we push through with
the divorce.— At least, in the eyes of our son—- I’m
a loving husband….
************************************
The small details of your lives are what really
matter in a relationship. It is not the mansion, the
car, property, the money in the bank. These create
an environment conducive for happiness but cannot
give happiness in themselves.
So find time to be your spouse’s friend and do
those little things for each other that build intimacy.
Do have a real happy marriage!
If you don’t share this, nothing will happen to you.
If you do, you just might save a marriage. Many of
life’s failures are people who did not realize how
close they were to success when they gave up.
Remember love is the richest of all treasures.
Without it there is nothing; and with it there is
everything. Love never perishes , even if the bones
of a lover are ground fine like powder. Just as the
perfume of sandalwood does not leave it, even if it
is completely ground up, similarly the basis of love
is the soul, and it is indestructible and therefore
eternal. Beauty can be destroyed , but not love.

THE RIGHT PROCESS TOWARD A SUCCESSFUL MARRIAGE.

THE RIGHT PROCESS TOWARD A SUCCESSFUL MARRIAGE.

9 WAYS TO AVOID CAR ACCIDENTS IN KENYA

 

9 Ways to Avoid Car Accidents

A National Safety Council study released last month indicates that seat belt use varies widely from state to state and the lack of drivers buckling up continues to be a leading cause of traffic accidents across Kenyans.

As more and more Kenyans hit roadways and increase highway congestion this busy season, reminds consumers to slow down and follow these 9 tips to keep accidents to a minimum:

1. Pull into traffic slowly. Stop, Look, Listen. Be aware of blind spots, including those in rear view mirrors and behind windshield pillars or highway road signs. Also, when at an intersection making a right-hand turn, look both directions at least twice before proceeding. Vehicles can appear almost out of nowhere very quickly, so exercise caution when pulling into a busy intersection.
2. Watch for red light runners. Count to three before entering an intersection on a green light. Look both ways and be sure no one is trying to speed through a yellow light. Exercise caution when passing semis. Truck drivers have a large blind spot on their right-hand side, so be especially careful when driving next to an 18-wheeler. If you cannot see the truck''s side mirrors, the truck driver cannot see you.
3. Keep at least one hand on the steering wheel. Reduce in-car distractions such as changing radio stations or CDs, cell phones, eating or momentarily taking a hand off the wheel. A gust of wind, pothole or a blown tire could send the vehicle into another lane and cause a serious accident.
4. Watch for kids. Children and animals have a habit of suddenly popping out from between parked cars and into roadways. If you are driving in a residential neighborhood with kids present, watch carefully and slow down.
5. Perform engine maintenance regularly.Avoid sudden stalls or other vehicle failure by changing the oil regularly and keeping tires properly inflated.
6. Scan 12 seconds ahead. Always concentrate on the area where you will be driving in 10-12 seconds. For highway driving, keep positioned far enough from other cars so if someone were to suddenly stop or swerve, you could avoid them.
7. Look backwards when backing out.Fender benders in parking lots are all too common, so look out for cars leaving parking spaces. Don''t depend on mirrors alone -- physically look over your right shoulder while steering to alleviate blind spots mirrors can create.
8. Do not tailgate. Leave a three-second cushion between you and the car in front of you and begin your journey early enough so you don''t speed to make up time. As tempting as it may be when in a hurry, tailgating is a major cause of accidents.
9. Be courteous to other drivers. No one owns the roads, so treat others with respect and report any suspicious driving activity to authorities.

LET'S RESPECT OUR LADIES

           LET'S RESPECT OUR LADIES.

.  

You saw a beautiful girl,

You like her,
You fought tirelessly to win her heart,
You wake up in the middle of the night to text her messages,
you swore you love her.
You call her pet names.
You adore all her imperfections.
You love whatever she puts on.
You spent all time with her without complaining.
You clean her face and wipe her tears.
You gently won her heart.
You made her believe in you.
She came to trust you.
You assured her that you will always be there for her.
You gave her hope.
She believed you are different.
She believes she has found LOVE again.
She threw her pride away.
She forgot that value she attached to herself.
She has refused everyone that competes with you for her.
You could now hold her phone all day long.
She now tells everyone that care to hear that
she has found Him at last.

And now
you are thinking of how best to break up
with her.
You begin to avoid her.
Her presence now choke you up.
Her voice now irritates you.
She is now cheap to you.
You yelled at her over little issues.
You now clearly see where she had stretch
marks.
You now see that her English is filled with
blunders.
She is suddenly from a poor background and
she is not your class.
Remember this BRO.
Every act on earth has pay back.
And the payback always comes in
the right proportion.

IS JUBILEE GOVERNMENT PLAYING WITH KENYANS.

IS JUBILEE GOVERNMENT PLAYING WITH KENYANS.
NAIROBI–Mexican ambassador to Kenya Erasmo Roberto Martinez has dismissed claims by Kenyan Government that it procured 450,000 metric tonnes of yellow maize worthy Kshs.10bn from Mexico.
Speaking to our reporters on Saturday afternoon, Martinez accused Jubilee Government for dragging Mexico to its game of corruption and urged Uhuru Kenyatta to stop oppressing Kenyans for his own interests.
“Our embassy is not aware of any maize deal between Kenyan Government and Mexican administration. I want to make it clear that Kenyan Government did not procure the said Maize from Mexico. We only grow yellow maize for animal consumption. We have not and we can not export such product to Kenyan consumers. Therefore, Uhuru

is a conman, and I guess he is trying to rob Kenyans Shs.10bn to run his campaigns.” Said Martinez.
“I urge Uhuru and his Government to stop oppressing the locals for his own gains.” He added.
Martinez was responding to claims that Kenyan Government had paid Kshs.10bn to Mexican Government to export 10 million bags of yellow maize to Kenya.

FIVE WAYS TO ENJOY CAMPUS LIFE.

     FIVE WAYS TO ENJOY CAMPUS LIFE.

1. Stay away from problem. Campus is a place where students are given maximum freedom to explore their talents, but also its a place where problem expore the students. Do the right thing at the right time at the right place.
2. Join any extracurricular activities. "Idleness lead to evil things" Campus has many extra activities that I believe suits any person. For example drummer, sports, church activities etc.
3. Always remember why you are there. Since you are student and the main aim is to graduate with nice grade. Always attend classes, take notes, visit library,revise notes etc.
4. Good relationship with everybody. Once you have good relationship with your God, then all is well with all people. Respect and appreciate people's culture, religion and personality.
5. Have any sustaining source. Believe that God will provide. Workhard and be active. In campus we have many sources that students can relay on. We have bursary, work study, parents, relatives, friends, sponsors etc.
