EVERLASTING INHERITANCE TO OUR CHILDREN

MAN-AMONG TRANSFORMATION SERIES

AN EVERLASTING INHERITANCE TO OUR CHILDREN BEFORE LEAVING THE EARTH:
CONCEPT FROM THINK AND GROW RICH

Permit me to borrow a concept from a book titled “Think and Grow Rich, and I will present this extract as it was produced by a man of uncommon knowledge.

Aside from the bible, second only to the bible, I have been thoroughly blessed and transformed by the industry we called the Personal Development industry. Hallelujah, where we have men and women who have been able to shape our philosophy and approach to life.

One of the stories that come very readily to mind was the story of a wealthy man arguably the first billionaire recorded in the United State of America when they became a nation by name Andrew Carnegie. Listen very carefully, Andrew Carnegie was a very successful man, history would tell us.

And then one time it was said that he felt very disappointed that many of the wealthy people within his class and the blessed people and the great people were going to their graves and were never transferring the truth that made them wealthy and great.

And other people who were failures or average people were just spectators and did not really know the secrets that control that level of excellence. And then he got a young man that many of you may have known or heard called Napoleon Hill.

A young man in his twenties, history would tell us, and a young journalist, he gave him an assignment. Listen to me carefully… the assignment was that I would give you letters of recommendations. Go and meet every one of these great and successful people. And I want you to interview all of them one by one. Piece together all their philosophies and put it together in a concise format.

So that when we are long gone, we will be able to live our convictions, for the generation that comes and Napoleon Hill took on that journey and for a period of about six(6) years there…. He went about interviewing all the greatest and brightest of the minds at that time and came together with thirteen (13) principles captured in a book that many of you have heard about called, "Think and Grow Rich”.

That was the product of that research, vetting and interviewing all of these bright minds. What philosophy did they honour to have produced such an excelling life? Hallelujah, when I read that story many years ago, it was so instructive. Listen to me. You will never reproduce a man’s result until you are able to reproduce his philosophies, his belief system and his convictions. Never forget this.

No wonder that the bible says, let this mind be in you. You want to become like Jesus in experience, you need to find out his convictions, his philosophies, and his mindset. The first and most important transfer that needs to happen from one generation to another is not physical things. The transference of mindset, the transference of conviction, the transference of philosophies and the transference of beliefs. Believe me, the bible says for as he thinketh in his heart, so is he… is that in your bible?

That means if something is wrong in your life, I have taught you that your physical environment is a reflection of the quality of your thinking and philosophies.

Unfortunately, those who desire to receive from great men are not interested in receiving their convictions. They don’t focus on their minds to put together the quality of their thinking…THEY ARE SELFISH… But Please look up and hear these;
• What do you believe about God?
• What do you believe about Satan?
• What do you believe about failure?
• What do you believe about success?
• What do you believe about excellence?
• What do you believe about wealth?
• What do you believe about poverty
• What do you believe about challenges?
• What do you believe about victory?

These are the summation and these philosophies will frame your mindset and inevitably translate into the results that you have.

You can have two men of God, who love God sincerely, mentored under the same father or the same mentor but you will find out that their result becomes different. Impact is there. Several other things are there. But one may be interested in learning more than just physical things.

For one he may be interested in holding the mic and making news, the other one to study. This is very powerful. So the first gift, please hear me. Any father here. Any parent, leader, business man and man of God. In thinking succession, the first gifts you can give your child and should give your children are a summation of your conviction.
What made you great?
What did you do?
Why did you do it?
What do you believe?
What have you come to hold through that has translated into excelling life?

That is the first gift you should give to your child, not material things. But unfortunately they are many children that pride themselves with cars, houses and designer clothes. Nothing is wrong with that, except that their lives are empty like that of the prodigal son. Because the prodigal son had physical things but no convictions.

Are you seeing that? When the elder brother wanted to be sad the father said noooooo! Don’t feel bad. There is something that gentleman didn’t ask for. He asked for physical things. But there are other things that I have. One of them being my convictions. I was not born like this. So find out what I believed to be what I am today.

Let me tell you this, every parent here I challenge you and every father and every leader, make sure that you do not go to your grave without capturing and preserving your philosophies and beliefs in the most concise way. Give it to your child as a gift and you truly gave him an inheritance.

Hallelujah…! Your conviction, the first gift that must be transferred from one generation to another. Now please look up, do you know why there are so many people who are poor and mediocre. Sorry I am not talking about finances. But just to borrow a concept.

When a poor man, poor then meaning a description not an insult. When a poor man sees a wealthy man, the first thing he looks at is his pocket and not his mind. You know a poor man not just by the absence of resources but by his passion to see what is in the box.

Poor people admire physical things, the gilts and the glamor that come with great men. But any mind that wants to rise is focused on the mentality. What do you know and what do you understand?

Let me challenge therefore that in your quest to live an excellent and excelling life or to create succession to your result. The first thing you should look at are men and women whose minds are open and malleable to receive, not people whose hands are free to receive.

People whose minds are ready to receive……

THE NEED FOR ALL SCHOOLS TO ADOPT AND PROPERLY USE THE ADMISSION REGISTER TOWARDS SCHOOL GROWTH AND DEVELOPMENT

This register is so important because it has been drawn up in accordance with the requirements of the education (General Regulation 1952), and it's core relevant extracts are as follow:

(29). 1. At every Government, local authority or other school which is in receipt of a grant-in-aid under the provision of the ordinance the following records and books shall be kept by the teacher in-charge and produced at the request of an inspection officer of supervision:

A register of admission, progress and withdrawal

(30). 1. At every school other than those referred to in Regulations 29 & 30, the following shall be supplied by the Manager and kept by the teacher in-charge:
register of admission, progress and withdrawal

(31). Failure to comply with any of the provisions or Regulations 29 & 30 shall be an offense and shall, upon conviction, render the Manager or Teacher in-charge liable to a fine of ten Pounds or it's equivalent in Naira and to an additional done if one pound or its equivalent in Naira in respect of each and every day during which such offence continues (in addition to any other proceeding, which may be taken against him under the ordinance)

(39). "One of the subjects in every school curriculum shall be Religious instruction in accordance with a course approved by the Proprietor. Provided that children whose parents or guardians do not wish them to receive shall be given other tuition during that period assigned to that subject.

Provided further exceptions to this provision may be permitted in school entirely supporters by private funds.

(40). 1. " A transfer certificate in the form approved by the Inspector-General and signed by the head Teacher/ Principal shall, at the request of his parent or guardian, be issued to a pupil or Student leaving the school on transfer to another school, but no transfer certificate need to be given unless all tuition and boarding fees owed by the pupil or Student to the school have been paid.

A leaving certificate signed by the head Teacher, Manager, supervisor of Education Officer shall at the request of his parent or guardian, be issued to the pupil or Student leaving the school on completion of all outstanding debts. The leaving certificate shall indicate the highest claas, which the pupil or Student has passed and the date of the period or periods during which he has attended school.

A head Teacher or principal who refused to give out a transfer certificate in Accordance with sub-regulation (1) shall be liable to a fine of two pounds or its equivalent in Naira."

(44). 1. " A pupil or Student who has left one school shall not be admitted to another school unless he produces a transfer or leaving certificate from the school he left showing that no fees are owed to such school.

A head teacher or principal who accepts a pupil or student without proper transfer certificate shall be liable to fine of two pounds or its Naira equivalent.

The transfer certificate of pupils entering a school shall be kept in a file and given a serial or Admission number. These numbers shall be entered in column 10. Copies should be kept of transfer certificate issued to pupils and Students leaving the school. The numbers of these certificates should be entered in column 11.

USABILITY BY CLASS TEACHERS:

The attendance register for each class shall contain the following in respect of every pupil / student whose name is entered in the admission register until such time as the pupil is deemed to have left the institution.

Admission number
Name in full Surname first in block capital, the names of all boys in attendance at the start of the school year to be entered in black or blue ink alphabetical order and thereafter the names of all girls in alphabetical order, in red ink together with each pupil's address
S*x
Column for three(3) terms fees

The full name of each student in the class should be written first in block capitals. The name of all boys in attendance at the start of the school year to be entered in black or blue ink alphabetical order and thereafter the names of all girls in alphabetical order, in red ink.

The attendance register should be marked at the beginning of each session the school meets with respect to the number of weeks attending.

Attendance marks should be made in blue or black ink as follows.
Morning and afternoon (/)
Absence should be marked with a circle (0)
If a student arrive late before the closing of the register, his attendance should be marked with red

No deletion or error should be made in the attendance register.

Should a holiday be granted for a period of less than a week, cancel the attendance space each morning and afternoon of that period by lines drawn vertically, through the middle of each space. Should a holiday be for week or longer, write the word"Holiday" in the cancelled attendance space. The reason for granting the holiday should always be entered in the Log Book.

The daily, weekly, terminal and annual summaries should be entered in the register promptly and regularly.

The head Teacher/ Principal or Assistants should check and inspect all weekly summaries during the last session of the week. Terminal and annual summaries should be checked and inspected by the Head teacher/ principal/ Assistant at the end of each term and school year.

During the first period in any session, the class that is receiving instruction in a school other than its own, the in-charge of the three classes should keep their own attendance register each day. They should send a list of absentees or a "nil'' return to Schools where the register of the same class is kept. There should be no reconciliation of the two registers twice a term. NOTE: Teachers should acquaint themselves with the regulation of relevant education ordinance concerning the registering of attendances and observe them.

In summary, I believe that the Admission register, progress, and withdrawal is for the effective management and documentation of schools activities.

Thank you and God bless

EFFECTIVE USE OF THE DIARY TOWARDS THE DEVELOPMENT OF A SCHOOL

All the units and sections of the diary must be filled and assessed as stated in the Education Law/ policy….>>>∆∆∆

Instructions to the teachers:
The diary is a statutory record book which must always be kept up-to-date. Each arm of a class must have a diary for keeping records of all items listed under its content page. Each class teacher must read and understand the instructions which follow. If the teacher has a firm grasp of these instructions, marking the entries of the diary will be a very pleasurable exercise.

Scheme of work:
A scheme of work should be drawn up for each subject listed in the content page.

The scheme of work should be drawn up by a subject specialist and, where possible, by a subject panel.

What ought to be taught in a year should be divided into three(3) groups, one group for each term. The group for each term should be divided into weekly.

The following headings may be used in writing the weekly units of work/ note of lesson:
Week:(i.e. week proposed for learning some amount of topics/contents)
Topics
Contents (these may be one or more depending on what can be covered in a week
Performance objectives
Activities (measures to be applied or used in achieving the objectives)
Evaluation (assignment, projects & practical work). Use to assess or test whether objectives have been achieved.

The scheme of work should be entered into the diary by the subject teacher. It may also be typed and pasted.

Weekly record of work:

The subjects are already listed, just as in the scheme of work.
By the end of each school week, each subject teacher should record, in brief outline, what an arm of the class has been taught for that week.
The weekly record of work helps the teacher to know how much of the scheme of work has been covered at any point in time. If a teacher withdraws from the school abruptly, the weekly record of work assists the new subject teacher to know what the former teacher has taught, and to determine where to start. The weekly record of work is therefore a very important and useful exercise.

List of pupils'/ Students' textbooks:

The list of textbooks used by the Students should be entered by the subject teachers.
The supervising Ministry of Education always recommends to Schools, a list of pupils'/ students' textbooks after appraisal bybtge appropriate subject panels
Each school should select from the list, the appropriate number of pupils/ student textbooks.
The textbook should be such that cover most of the topics in the syllabus, should be easily available and affordable.
The subject teacher should enter the titles of the selected students'/ pupils' textbooks and any subsidiary materials such as Mathematical sets, rulers, etc…

List of teacher's textbooks:

The should enter the titles of the main books for teaching each subject. Also, the reference books available to the teacher should be listed.

Examination results:

Three examinations are taken in one school year. That is, one examination in each term.

Teachers and students/pupils must be serious with all tests and examinations, and obey all the rules and regulations. It must be emphasized that examination malpractice, whether aiding or abetting, is a very grievous offence which carries statutory corporal punishment.

The examination scoree of students should be entered by the class teacher into the examination result sheet as soon as the subject teachers submit such results.

The Principal or Headteacher' Report should deal with improvement in the performance of the pupils/ Students in each subject. The reoprt should aim at helping the subject teachers to determine how best pupils performance can be enhanced.

Calculation

Students % average = the total score of Students/ the maximum score obtainable X 100

% Class average = the sum of the total scores of all students/ number of students X maximum score obtainable

OR

The sum of all the students % average / number of students

Affective and Psychomotor traits:

Affective and Psychomotor traits may not be easily measured, like testing performance in subjects. However, these traits are observable. Affective traits concern Students' character and behaviour while Psychomotor traits concern Students' skills.

Affective and Psychomotor traits should be carefully observed and weekly ratings made, using a standard key. At the end of the twrn, the weekly ratings should be totalled, and the average determined, and recorded termly in the appropriate Continuous Assessment Report.

Thank you and God bless

Friday quiz competition...!

03/10/2022

Dear Parents/Guardians,

It has come to our notice that some pupils/students intentionally stay back from school on Fridays just to avoid being examined.

The essence of presentations on Friday is to test the abilities and understanding of the pupils/students in different subjects and also to evaluate the teachers. But if a child stays back just to avoid being tested with what he/she has been taught, no one will know if he/she is doing well and neither will the management know if teachers are functioning well in their duties.

Hence, parents/guardians are expected to call in and inform either the class teacher or the head teacher/principal that such person won't be in school with concrete reasons else such pupil(s)/student(s) will be disciplined.

The teachers are here to impart knowledge into your wards and we expect them to be well equipped in all ramifications.

Thanks for your understanding and cooperation. God bless you and have a fruitful October.

*LASTEST UPDATES FROM GREYSONS ACADEMY*

💓💓❤️❤️❤️💓💓💓💓❤️❤️
*Hello wonderful Parents and Staff, I want to believe it's good with us….*

Permit me to clear the air on our last update and also to let us know that the group shall be open from Tomorrow Friday 16th September, 2022 for our constructive & wise contribution for the new Academic Session…

Before I proceed, let me state here that the subjects combination you see on the image is strictly for SS2 but also, we want to explore your contribution as whether to integrate same into SS1

✓✓✓✓✓✓[[[[✓✓✓∆∆∆∆∆∆
Well, we've had issues where parents approach the school to inform the management that the school should allow their children to major in either Science or Arts. Some have even chosen careers/ professions for their children…..

*Some are of the opinion that all SS1* students should be allowed to offer all the subjects in both Arts & Science areas as this would allow them the opportunity to make informed decision on the career path….

Since we're a listening school and we are committed and willing, and passionate about creating a standard and foundation that would transcend our children to a future & career that would afford them the opportunity to becoming future leaders & professionals in any chosen field of endeavour, we have decided to bring this issues to the general house…

Contribute wisely

👇👇👇👇💓❤️👇👇
*Questions/Contribution*

*Is it right for a parent to choose career for his/her child?*

*Is it proper for a student of senior secondary one(SS1) to major in Science or Art….* If yes why? And if No why?

*Why do some parents choose career for their children?*

*What are the factors to consider in determining whether a child should major in Arts, Commercial or Science & Engineering in senior secondary one…*

All your contributions are welcome and would be appreciated.

👆👆👆👆👆👆💓❤️👇👇
*No hate speech, insult or Abuse…*

*Thank you for understanding and God bless…*
