According to the government, different institutions have specified functions. If TSC just hires, promotes, demotes, pays and disciplines and SRC is the one that determines salaries, then I say:
1. If students abuse drugs, dont bother yourself. Yours is just to teach. That is the work of NACADA.
2. If students engage in illicit sex and other forms of immorality, you just deliver the syllabus. Leave that to National Council For AIDS Control.
3. If the students lose textbooks, dont bother pestering them to buy new books. Government will provide others through Kenya Literature Bureau.
4. You asked for a teaching position and not a counselling position. If a student needs counselling, the government has Counselling Centres for that.
5. Ati you found students with adult-rated magazines and video clips on phones, and you are there inviting hypertension at a younger age with anger, the government has Kenya Film Classification Board to deal with such matters. You are overstepping your mandate.
6. If your are a secondary school teacher and job group L and below, and you are already a HOD or Dean appointed locally, the employer is stealing from you.
7. Let not anyone tell you that teaching is a calling and you will be paid highly through blessings. Why are there then so many teachers suffering after retirement? The constitution or TSC Act doesn't mention anywhere that teaching is a calling. It is an employment just like any other.
8. International Labour Organisation requires that one works for 8 hours a day, for 5 days in a week. Who pays teachers on duty who are in school as early as 5 a.m, as late as 10 p.m and on weekends?
9.Just control students in your class. If they become disorderly outside there, the constitution establishes National Police Service to maintain law and order.
10. In other words you are employed to teach (period) I had CAT papers to mark at home, notes to make and KCSE project marks to compile during the strike. Yet TSC says I didn't work. I realise that was a m mistake. Am only employed to teach.
