Stop Robbing Students in the Name of Teaching - giving notes without explanation

In some schools, a single period lasts just 40 minutes, sometimes 45, and in a few, one hour.

Yet, aside from English, Maths, and Science, most subjects get only two periods a week—that’s barely 80 minutes in seven days.

Now think about it:

Many of these subjects have broad topics, with deep subtopics, practicals, and core life lessons hidden in them.

But how can a teacher possibly cover all that meaningfully in such little time?

They can’t. And sadly, they don’t even try.

Some teachers enter the class, drop a long note on the board, tell students to copy it, and leave.

No explanation.

No interaction.

No real teaching.

Just “I’ll explain in the next class.”

Next class comes—same story.

A new note.

No explanation.

And the cycle continues.

Let’s be honest—that is not teaching.

That’s academic r0bbery.

You’re r0bbing these kids of the little time they have to understand.

You’re r0bb!ng them of clarity. Of curiosity. Of growth.

And what hurts the most?

In this 21st century, there are tools that make learning easier and faster—

• Projectors

• Interactive boards

• TVs to display notes and videos

• Online platforms where students can log in to read and even download notes

• Digital labs for practice and exploration

But many schools won’t invest.

Many governments won’t provide.

And many teachers won’t adapt.

Instead, we waste the little time we’re given—

And call it education.

No, it’s not.

It’s r0bbery.

And the victims are our children.

It’s time for school owners, government authorities, and teachers to sit up.

If we don’t evolve, we’ll keep raising students who graduate with empty heads and br0ken confidence.

Please, stop wasting time.

Stop copying notes as a replacement for teaching.

Let’s stop r0bb!ng these children of the future they deserve.
