Teaching Assistant at Oyo State Government

Once upon a time, there was this great and mighty Master called Mr Adegbenro, who was working in a particular school some where in the South West region as a Government subject teacher. Mr Adegbenro was the type who doesn't attend to his class timely, he would have wasted half of the 45 minutes in the staffroom gisting or at times when he gets to the class, he would engage the students in other talks rather than teaching, he would remind the students how they would never amount to anything. He did that his regular teaching style for good thirty years. As a Public servant, he had served for good thirty years and was just left with five years to wrap up his service. Someday, it was briefing hour in his latest school when young Colonel approached the Principal that fateful morning he asked him for Mr Adegbenro because he said he had made his researches and now learned he was in that school. The school Principal joyfully pointed at Mr Adegbenro at the briefing. Immediately, he stepped out, the Colonel called his subordinates to help in dealing with him, gave him a leg over, Mr Adegbenro fell face down. All the teachers and the Principal rushed to the scene to save him from the 🐸 frog jump punishment. Then, the Colonel narrated his ordeal that he came out of secondary school with no results believing Mr Adegbenro 's saying that he doesn't have future until he came across someone who sat him down, re-enroll him starting from SS II again and also, he said he came purposely not for himself but for other students whose lives might have been in shambles without amendment. Other teachers were speechless and terrified and the shame could not allow Mr Adegbenro surface again, hẹ sought for immediate voluntary retirement... Typical example of a NEGATIVE REWARD....
