We Need More Male Teachers in Schools – Educationist

A United States-based Professor of  Education, Georgianna Duarte, has canvassed the need for more male teachers in schools, especially at the early childhood level. She spoke on Wednesday in Lagos on the sidelines of a Focus on the Young Child Education summit organised by a group, Early Years Consult Limited. FOYC initiative seeks to raise the quality of early childhood education and care in Nigeria and Africa to the global best practice standard. Duarte, who lamented the dearth of male teachers across the globe, described the development as a “disturbing one”. According to the professor of Early Childhood Education at the University of Texas-Rio Grande Valley, the masculine elements will do some good to the school system. She said, “The dearth of male teachers is a challenge in Nigeria and in many parts of the world. It is a problem internationally. I believe that our classrooms should have masculine elements. “We need to recruit more men in the early childhood educati

Shocking: 10 normal things you may be addicted to

from Real Buzz We all have certain activities we love, but did you know you could be addicted to your favourite hobby? Check out the 10 surprising things you may be addicted to. 1: Surfing the internet You may think that browsing the internet is nothing more than a pleasant way to pass some time. However, researchers in China revealed that internet addiction actually alters the brain in a similar way to addictions to drugs and alcohol. It is thought that sufferers of Internet addiction disorder (IAD) could face similar symptoms to those suffering from other addictions, including withdrawal symptoms. One study of users of internet-ready smartphones found that many are so addicted to their device they now hear “phantom vibrations” in their desperation to receive a message. 2: Falling in love We all know that person who goes from relationship to relationship, never seeming to spend more than five minutes alone. Well, according to research, it may be that they are actually

8 (important) things to know when dating a player

in Share by Julia Melko Dating a player is a huge challenge and it’s not every woman’s dream. But sometimes a woman falls in love so quickly and strongly that she doesn’t want to realize that she is dating a player. If you realize that you are dating with a player, but don’t want to break up with him, here are a few important things to know when dating a player. Dating a player can be quite dangerous and can even lead to a heartbreak. Remember it. 1. Insincere conversations Normal relationship usually consists of sincere and trusting talks and frank treatment. It’s wonderful when you can share common goals, plans, dreams and when we are curious about the past. The player isn’t the one who is really interested in all these points. Your talks usually contain superficial information. 2. Cancellations all the time Do you often get calls or messages that your date is going to be cancelled again? Moreove

World Book Day: Importance Of Promoting, Protecting Literary Works

Yesterday, April 23, was World Book and Copyright Day. The theme for this year’s was “History and Stories”, to celebrate the contribution of books and authors to our global culture and the connection between copyright and books. Nigeria leads in the global league of States with the largest number of children of school age that are out of school and also has an estimated level of illiteracy at 70 per cent of its adult population. The essence of the day should hopefully intrigue Nigerian leaders enough, to rouse them to begin to fund, motivate and prioritise creative and research enterprises. This would enable us appreciate in greater depth books as the most potent vectors of values and knowledge, and depositories of the intangible heritage that propels development. As windows onto the diversity of cultures, books serve as sources of material wealth and this is why effective copyright laws must be enacted to protect works of creative artists. More importantly, our governmen

12 dangerous reasons to get married

by Dr. Shauna H. Springer When one looks to one’s partner to be any type of drug instead of a living, breathing human being with an agenda of his or her own, the result is often a short-lived bond . In terms of motivations for marriage , thus far I’ve been focusing mostly on delusional thinking processes caused by fantasies we create during the cocaine-rush phase of relationships. For example, within the context of a short courtship, two delusional reasons for getting married are “because it feels like I’ve known you forever, even though we just met” and “because our love story would make a great movie.” There are a number of other equally bad reasons to take the plunge. These generally fall into three categories—anxiety, inadequacy, and self-centered pragmatics. If you are contemplating marriage or are “on the hunt” for a spouse, I’d advise you to get honest with yourself and plumb the depths of your motivations. Do your motivations stem from any of the following thoug

6 (and a half) things you should STOP expecting from others

by Amy Shearn We’ve heard it again and again: Don’t expect that you can revise (or worse, correct) someone. Loving people means loving them the way they are. 1. Stop Expecting People: To Be Your Partner in Crime A group of friends and I had been out late one night when I saw it there, glowing like a beacon: the 24-hour frozen-yogurt stand. “You  have  to get something with me,” I urged a friend’s girlfriend, who I didn’t know well. At my insistence, she came with, and after I ordered a Snickers-covered chocolate something, she reluctantly ordered a small lemonade. It took me a good while to realize that she had a lot of reasons for not wanting to be my partner in crime: She was out of money, she had to be up early and was hoping to head home. I’d thought it would be a fun, dorm-room-y bonding moment, but in the end, I was forcing the connection, as if only her enjoyment would justify my own. Ditto for staying up all night, ditto for spending a lot of money on fancy soap

4 ways to solve communication problems with your partner

But that does not mean that you give up on your relationship. Here are some ways you can resolve the issue. Realise your relationship has a problem  The most important and probably one of the first things to solving this problem is that you acknowledge the fact that you are having problems in your relationship.
