You just might wonder what this events have to do with wasmaniac...I'll tell you. On the 6th October 1998, I was just one month away from finishing my primary school education. I was in std 8 awaiting my kenya certificate of primary education exams to start one month later...then the teachers went on strike.
On the 23rd of september 2006, i was in Form Four...awaiting to finish my high school education. It was again exactly a month before my KCSE...and the damn teachers went on strike..
Now...2006. Am in my final year, final semester, undergraduate degree programme...slightly over a month before i finish my academic degree and go for an industrial attachment...and then, something silly happens, again...Lecturers go on strike!

Ever heard of the saying Those who know do...those who dont teach. That is the reason sleepy. Teachers dont know anything...they just read from a book and vomit the whole undigested stuff when they come to teach or lecture!
That is pretty cynical of you. There are teachers out there that know what they speak of and are passionate about their subjects. Those are the ones who I was speaking of.
Conditions for teachers are not the best in Kenya or come to think of it in the world. I don't know why. Teachers are very important. They are the ones educating tommorrow leaders and shouldn't we therefore hand them all the tools they need to fulfill that task?
