Why does it sound like a surprise that E students employ A students? Could it kuna kitu we parent and teachers hatupati? ama kuna vile gava inacheza na future ya watoi wetu,mbona its possible kupata msomi walking bare footed pale kitongojini and the E s are driving high end machine living in palacial homes?
I worked for a class 3 dropout, who couldn't even write her name properly, as a retail store attendant in 2005 in Nairobi River Road (more details in memoir). The woman was one of the wealthy Kikuyu businesswomen (millionaires) who import goods from Dubai.
Right now there are politicians and various senior government officials whose level of education is still questionable even if they graduated high school or attained a college degree/diploma. They are holding offices and jobs that the graduates cannot get a hold of. Whereas the same graduates, some of them A and B students are wallowing in squalor facing lifes frustrations of poverty and unemployment.aki sometimes life treats us vitofauti.life has never been in balance.quite unfair kabsa.
During Moi's presidency, loyalty mattered to him more than education. It's why his government was full of illiterates the akina Mulu Mutisya, of "Noo suu" wa ukambani and Onyono of "Migori water chwaa," and "Ndio Baaba" dude.alaaaa!¡
The police force was focused on recruiting young stout and agile men whose qualification was to have 32 teeth and prove that they are taller than an A-K7. Didn't some of those police recruits climb the ranks to be powerful members of the country's security forces?
How highly educated did you think the flying squad and special branch of the Kanu era members were? Didn't they stalk, harass and grab educated and respected individuals by the balls whenever they were instructed to do so?,that is why they could attack you na maswali ndio usipumue,usahau hata kuuliza.gichana umetoga wapi unaenda waoi umebeba nini acha kuniangalia by the time you open your mouth umekula slap kaa nane hivi....ahaaaa
What am I trying to say?
Observe, sit and listen.
Life is not a straight line. There are those A/B students who attained higher educations only to later on get their breakthroughs in talents or business.
Don't pretend like you don't know about exams rigging. Most of those teachers who are highly sought are sought because they are part of the KNEC board that sets and invigilate national exam.
This story cought my attention...just read and read carefully a friend of mine from karachunyo who scored genuine B cos he feared kuiba exam.the reSt of the students then made their clean A s.
In my secondary school year, I was the top student in biology (Straight A student from form 2-4). I won 3rd prize in entire Rachuonyo District mock exams exams in preparation for KCSE 2003. Records are out there. Before exams, there were drills (revisions) we did, repeatedly. When the exam came. It was 95% the revision we have been doing. When the results for KCSE came, I, the A biology student, had a B, whereas some of the D and E students had As in Biology!
Miracle indeed.
I refused to participate in that cheating because I feared the exams might be cancelled and I didn't want to run a risk of not graduating high school.
More details in memoir...
Was I envious of my peers who got As in biology instead of me in KCSE, not at all. Because you can cheat in exams but you can't cheat life.
Let's all look at life with open eyes and mindsets. As or Es are just grades...Why does it sound like a surprise good that E students employ A students?
Let's all look at life with open eyes and mindsets. As or Es are just grades.as i pen this down this sunday morning am also reminded of my friend deskmate evans.tukimaliza class 8 those year when subjets were 7 yeye alipata yake 98 total out of 700.the guy currently is staying Rongai owner of of the best garrage in entire Rongai.sometimes yeye huniokolea.
Tukiendelea na hii tabia naona tukifika campus tunarudi kutafta kibarua kwa evans kwa garage.
Is the right time to change the paradigm shift
Is it the right time to think north
Yes i repeat yes.something must be done.yes..we must start treating the Es and As as equal on the table of opportunities
