Not a wise suggestion to stop bottom house lessons

Sep 11, 2009 Letters

Dear Editor,
My academic success came with being an avid reader (Fiction). On Many occasions I bluffed my way through and I am content with the level of achievement to date even though I have aspirations of pursuing photo journalism for independent and freelance practices.
My teaching lessons came with both classroom and bottom house sessions and without the guidance and approach of those responsible.
I don’t believe that my success was ever going to be at the level it is.
My experience also enabled me to garner a higher level of interaction and social contact with colleagues from other institutions apart from the lessons learnt.
Never had I once had to question any teacher’s performance and I can’t recall ever an instance where one’s performance was questionable and had to face a panel. Extra lessons were part of the package and I see it as an opportunity for increase knowledge among other positive gain.
Of course, that was my experience and the forum is now open for anyone to share any information which might have other twists.
However, Shane Rizwan’s call on the Education Ministry to close all bottom house lessons did not go down well with me after consuming his reading on this issue a couple of days ago via the dailies.
If this person can identify teachers, who are guilty of poor performances during classes and can support his claim with concrete evidence, I will support any call for those questionable persons to be answerable to a panel set up by the authorities, but to close lessons is not a wise suggestion.
