If there was one thing that you would change about other learners at school, what would you change? Bonus went to Mitchell House Intermediate Phase (IP) learners for their views.
Ntombi Dlamini - "I've seen a few videos of learners physically abusing their teachers going viral on social media.That is definitely not okay because teachers are there to educate, guide and give us some advise wherever and whenever it's needed. So abusing them is not the solution because when teachers discipline us, it's for our own good."
Amo Mehlape – “The one thing I would change generally at schools is kids that like snatching, taking or grabbing other learners’ lunch boxes. That’s is not okay at all because out mothers and families prepare the lunch boxes with love and care and some idiots just come and take your lunch away when you’re hungry. It’s not fair towards other learners at all.”
Khodi Munyai – “I’m firstly grateful that there are no bullies in my school, everyone gets along very well. And bullying is what I’m against. It’s not okay to bully kids because they also have feelings like anybody else in the world.”
Ruby Muvhango – “In some schools, learners back-chat their teachers, I would change such learners from disrespecting their educators, not just their teachers but any elder.”
Tristan Scully – “I would change the mind set of bullies at schools because it’s not okay to bully other kids, especially when people are watching you get bullied. Mitchell House does not tolerate such behaviour at all.”
Matthew Mckenzie – “I would change the behaviour of naughty children in class because they disturb other learners who are serious about their work when they misbehave in class.”
Tumelo Maleka.- “I would change learners’s mindsets that are lazy to go to school every day and that are lazy to do their home or class work. I would like to advise and make them aware that being lazy or laziness is not the solution to success. To be successful and independent individual, one has to work hard and play less.”
