Kibicho Wants Sonko Probed, Charged With 2017 Chaos; Anti-Corruption Court Freezes Governor Wa Iria’s Assets & Uhuru Plans Sagana Meeting to Tame Ruto

Good morning,

What is it that is really bothering our children at schools?

One would think that after close to a full year stay at home, the last thing students would want is to return home, but recent events indicate otherwise.

Violence, unrest, and arson have been reported in high schools across the country, and although this does happen in the terms leading up to national exams, we suspect something else is at play this time around.

Perhaps the treatment students are getting from teachers is different from what they were getting at home during the coronavirus break.

Indeed, times have changed. Back in the day, parents were the most feared figures in a child’s life.

Nowadays, however, parents are hard to not subject their children to the kind of upbringing they endured, and while this is understandable, perhaps they are overdoing it.

In the process, children have become too indisciplined and when they meet their teachers at school, clashes are bound to arise since teachers are devoted to churning out decent members of the society.

All in all, we believe the no-nonsense education Cabinet Secretary will handle the issue promptly because, for the batch of students preparing for their exams, there is no time to waste.
