A prayer for all

• In the name of God, the Beneficent, the Merciful.
  All praises are due to God, The Cherisher and
  Sustainer of the Worlds. Master of the day of
  Judgment, Thee Alone do we worship and Thee Alone
  do we ask for help. Show us the straight path,
  the path of those on whom Thou has bestowed Thy
  Grace. Not the path of those who cause Thy
  anger, nor of those who go astray. Ameen.

  also invented the phonograph, the Kinetoscope
  (moving machine), and other useful things.
• He developed many devices which greatly
  influenced life in the 20th century. He is

ALBERT EINSTEIN

She had a lot of difficulty in school, but it was
not until she was an adult did she learn that she
had dyslexia. When she was growing up, she
remembers being called dumb and stupid because
she had a lot of problems reading. It was clear
to her teachers and family that she was neither
slow nor dumb, but had some problem that had not
yet been well defined. Despite her dyslexia, she
has gone on to have a successful film and
television career. Born as Carolyn Johnson, she
is an outstanding American entertainer, having
acted in major motion picture hits like Ghost,
Sister Act I and II, Made in America, Jumping
Jack Flash, The Color Purple, and Star Trek
Generations.(South African film )
WHOOPI
GOLDBERG
46
He was born fighting. He grew up poor and never
spent a lot of time at any one school because the
family moved around a lot as a result of his
father looking for work. He, like his mother,
suffered from dyslexia and was put into the
remedial classes at school. Right handed when
writing, but does most things left handed. Whilst
not an academic success, he focused on athletics
and competed in many sports. A knee injury
derailed his hopes of a promising athletic
career. He then spent a year in a Franciscan
monastery, but the priesthood was not for him.
While in high school, he appeared in a number of
plays, and with his mothers encouragement and
support, pursued a career in acting. He focused
all his energy on developing his acting career,
once again revealing his drive and dogged
determination.

• Before joining NBA,he was just an ordinary
  person, so ordinary that he was cut off from high
  school basketball team because of his lack of
  skill. By acclamation, he is the greatest
  basketball player of all time. A phenomenal
  athlete with a unique combination of grace,
  speed, power, artistry, improvisational ability
  and an unquenchable competitive desire.He
  single-handedly redefined the NBA superstar.

Striving for Excellence in Rural Education
INTERVIEW WITH A TEACHER
Thabani Mhlongo is a teacher at Ngungwini H/S
50kms
north of Dbn in Indwendwe Circuit, in the
KwaShangase tribal authority.
EDITED BY H.MOTARA
52
INTERVIEW WITH A TEACHER
What drives you as a person? I think its
determination and hard work. As a hard worker I
have gone extra miles in order to achieve this.
When did you start teaching? I started there in
1994, teaching geogra- phy in grades 10,11,12 and
social sciences in grade 8.
Tell us about the circumstances of the learners
and the challenges. Its difficult working in
rural areas. The area is underdeveloped, poor
transport, gravel road, no clean water.
Learners travel long distances from home to
school, maybe walking a distance of three or
even five kilometres to school. So they
arrive late and because they travel long
distances sometimes they fall asleep in class.
Why did you decide to take up teaching as
career? Truly speaking, teaching was not my first
choice. I wanted to do some other things but
because of the financial impli- cations I had to
take education.
You have enjoyed it since then? Yes, although we
are working under dif- ficult conditions.
What support are you getting, and
chal- lenges? Principal and ward managers come
to school and give motivational talks to learners
and staff and encourage us to work hard to
achieve good results at the end of the year.
School facilities? Facilities are poor,
classrooms dont have doors, windows are
vandalised. Facilities are not good, but we are
still working under these conditions and
achieving something.
53
Are you proud of your achievements so far? Of
course I am proud of my achieve- ments because
this thing will stay with me for the rest of my
life. At least I have achieved something against
all the odds.
As someone who has received some recognition and
awards, what would be your advice to others
working in similar rural situations? My advice to
colleagues is they must have determination to
find solutions to the challenges. They must also
be cre- ative to explore all the opportunities
and possibilities, and they must have the
per- severance to achieve certain goals.
What is your ambition? I would like to see myself
being a direc- tor or doing something else in
the department
What inspires you? I always strive for excellence
in every- thing that I do.
What should government do about teachers leaving
the profession? People want money that is the
motiva- tion. Everyone wants to send money back
to their family. If they can pay teachers good
salaries then I think people can stay in the
department. In the indus- tries people are being
attracted by better offers. Everyone wants to go
and graze in greener pastures
Is there any specific person who has inspired
you, an influence in your life? My high school
principal Mr PM Myeza, who is now one of the
directors in the department. He used to encourage
us to work hard, to participate in all the
school activities, and to learn more. He
even told us that he was not clever but the only
way to achieve is to work hard.
54
What about parents involvement
and support? Limited because if I call a meeting
with the parents, maybe 10 will attend.
So attendance is very poor. Some learners are
also parents themselves.
Is that becoming a problem, child-head- ed
households? Yes it depends, some of them are
good and mature, some of them are still
prob- lematic. Like in my grade 12 class
this year I have got a boy whose father
passed away some years ago and his mother
is serving a 10-year imprisonment in Durban
Westville. So the boy is on his own.
Tell us about some of your achievements. I am
working at Indwendwe circuit. We have got 41 high
schools in Indwendwe Circuit where I work. Since
2001 we have had a teacher awards ceremony with
two categories 100 pass rate and best
distribution of symbols. I have been a recipient
in both categories.
How do you achieve 100 pass rate in those
conditions? Everything lies in the planning, I
plan at the beginning what I want to achieve and
how I am going to achieve it. I con- duct extra
classes in the afternoon. I also conduct the
Saturday classes and winter schools.

Think through this

• Simple little test
• If you overtake the last runner, what position
  are you now in?
• Take 1000. Add 40. Add another 1000. Add 30. Add
  1000 again. Plus 20. Plus 1000. And plus 10. What
  is the total?
• Marys father has five daughters
• Chacha
• Cheche
• Chichi
• Chocho
• ?????? What is the 5th daughters name?

57
(Mismanaged managers managing management?)

• In management when a manager manages another
  manager, the managing manager who manages the
  managed manager must manage the managed manager
  according to management principles and not as the
  managing manager who is managing the managed
  manager likes to manage or the managed manager
  who is being managed wants to be managed.

Inspired and informed leadership is critical to
the success of schools

• Successful school improvement requires
  establishing a clear educational vision and a
  shared institutional mission, knowing how well
  the school is accomplishing that mission,
  identifying areas for improvement, developing
  plans to change educational activities and
  programs, and implementing those plans or new
  programs effectively.
• Principals and other key school leaders should
  help teachers and other stakeholders build
  effective teams. (Newmann, 1993 Maeroff, 1993).

61
Answer honestly

• What is the school mission?
• What is the school vision?
• What are the school values?
• How is the staff working towards the vision?
• How do you as managers live the vision?
• Have you inducted the new teachers?
• What about your SGB, AAs, GAs?
• Do the learners recognise the vision?

IN A RESEARCH ON EDUCATION

• The responses of teachers, SGBs and principals
  were categorized in order to determine the

  order of overall importance, were
• 1. Human relations skills
• 2. Leadership skills
• 3. Organizational skills
• 4. Communication skills
• 5. Understanding, empathy and patience
• 6. Consistency and objectivity
• 7. Academic background.

66
TEACHERS VIEWS OF MANAGERS

• "The principal should act as a catalyst -
  stimulating people to work together to question,
  to strive for learning experiences which work for
  children."
• "Should know what we are doing, our strengths
  and weaknessesWise, judicious, firm and yet
  tolerant. Ability and ambition to go with
  training and knowledge.. God knows, it's a tough
  job!"
• "An effective principal is firm but flexible.
  Ability to be as professional as need be for an
  administrator, but not to lose the human aspect
  needed to be a caring teacher."
• "Principals should establish the atmosphere for
  the school - he should endeavor to exert a
  positive influence, especially on the staff - too
  often the principal is a negative force in the
  school (a reminder of everything that is going
  wrong)."

67
TEACHERS VIEWS OF MANAGERS

• "Organizer (putting the right person in charge of
  less important things so (he, she) can have the
  time to be available to smooth. out problems.."
• "Must be good at identifying problems and solving
  them - not running a central office. A man or
  woman of good judgment
• "Must care for the student and his or her family
  as a prime consideration in all school
  activities.
• "Has the ability to get the best out of staff
  members and have them happy to do their best.
• "Must be presentable, efficient and concerned
  with school, community and administrative duties
  and able to correlate all in a well planned
  matter of fact way."

68
.

• . "Ability to work as part of a team, to work
  through others and to engender these abilities in
  others - not a loner or one who must always have
  things done in his own way
• "Perceived leadership lead not dictate
• "Expects high degree of commitment from teachers,
  students, parents - and is leading the war in
  this regard."
• "A person who sees kids, not paper.
• Principals should establish the atmosphere for
  the school - he should endeavor to exert a
  positive influence, especially on the staff - too
  often the principal is a negative force in the
  school (a reminder of everything that is going
  wrong)."

Who should be the boss of the team?

• WHEN THE BODY WAS FIRST MADE,ALL THE PARTS WANTED
  TO BE BOSS.
• THE BRAIN SAID,SINCE I CONTROL EVERYTHING AND
  DO ALL THE THINKING, I SHOULD BE THE BOSS!
• THE FEET SAID,SINCE I CARRY MAN WHEREVER HE
  WANTS TO GO AND GET HIM IN POSITION TO DO WHAT
  THE BRAINS WANTS, THEN I SHOULD BE THE BOSS!
• THE HANDS SAID,SINCE I MUST DO ALL THE WORK AND
  EARN ALL THE MONEY TO KEEP THE REST OF YOU GOING,
  I SHOULD BE THE BOSS.

LUNGS,AND ALL THE OTHER PARTS OF THE BODY,EACH
GIVING THE REASON WHY THEY SHOULD BE THE BOSS!!!

  WAS GOING TO BE THE BOSS.

  REPEATED LAUGHTER AT THE IDEA OF THE EXCRETORY
  HOLE BEING THE BOSS!....

  HIMSELF OFF AND REFUSED TO FUNCTION..

THINK, THE FEET FELT LIKE LEAD WEIGHTS AND WAS
ALMOST TO WEAK TO DRAG THE BODY ANYWHERE, THE
EYES GREW BLEARY, AND THE HANDS HUNG USELESS ON
THE SIDES. ALL PLEADED WITH EACH OTHER TO LET THE
EXCRETORY HOLE TO BE DECLARED THE BOSS.

• AND SO IT HAPPENEDALL THE OTHER PARTS DID ALL
  THE WORK AND THE EXCRETORY HOLE JUST BOSSED AND
  PASSED OUT A LOT OF CRAP.

these that I will have fought for what was
right and fair, that I will have risked for
that which mattered,
and that I will have given help to those who were
in need that I will have left the earth a better
place for what I've done and who I've been."
