‘You can’t be a teacher & putting all your business on social media’- Dr Maurice D. Smith
Th event was held under the theme 'Moving Full S.T.E.A.M. ahead.
Dr Smith reminded the teachers that they have an important task of shaping tomorrow and they must be careful how they do that, adding that if they sow bad seeds, they will reap bad seeds.
‘You must be the example’
“Education is about helping people to become better, and may I just make an announcement, you cannot help somebody become better unless you yourself become better. You must be the example you wish for them to be,” Dr Smith said.
According to the education administrator, moving full S.T.E.A.M. ahead will require teachers to have a proper perspective, purpose objective and personal corrective.
“Be an example to them, be a model to them. Display for them what it means to be a good citizen. It’s not just about the language and the science, it’s much more than that. You are teaching them how to live. You are teaching them how to survive. You are teaching them how to exceed expectations.
A call to be ‘decent’
“You can’t be a teacher and have intimate relationship at the rum bar. Let me leave that alone.”
As teachers yelled “say it, say it,” Mr Smith continued: “You can’t be a teacher and putting all your business on social media. You can’t be a teacher and be along with your children’s parents.”
Dr Smith said he wasn’t calling teachers to be divine but to be decent.
He then challenged teachers to ask themselves what they are going to do differently this year and how they are going to improve as a professional.
As candid as he was, Dr Smith’s remarks appeared to be well received by the teachers and administrators present.

There are teachers here that parade through the place half-naked on a regular not to mention the parade/Rise and Shine Tramp/Poker Run with the entire behind and majority of breasts exposed, photo shoot pics, and the type of conversations including profanity on social media are disgraceful.
You sound like one of the encouragers who don’t know better.
We should be thankful that they are prepared to use their higher intellects to teach our children and learn less than the idiots who have set up rental businesses with their laundered money.
Someone need to do the same for the hospital when you look at their attire you want to puke uniforms are so tight they cant bend showing up everything and this is for 98% of the staff in all depts
Their customer service is very poor especially at the front admission they dont even acknowledge you standing before them
Help is needed
Having a broader vision of life may promote individual good judgement in terms of what's "proper" in dress and many other things, as against adhering to hard and fast rules.
On the subject of Social Media - and online news sites fall under that category - it would be good if commentators had the courage and conviction to speak out in their own name, rather than a "nickname".
EL OH EL.
Leave people alone!!!! Some of you go away to participate in WORSE things because you are ashamed of yourself! What’s in dark will always come to light! Leave the teachers!
