The lecturers with puppets strings-do they have too much power ?

We often say the country is full of educated fools and scammers, but are their teachers setting this example? This issue is compounded by parents who may teach their children to seek success no matter the cost, even in the name of God.

​Yet, what about the lecturers themselves? Some are wonderful, kind, and inspiring teachers who cultivate greatness, honesty, and goodness in the next generation. Others, however, use their pen to make the lives of their students hell. All over the world, many unethical lecturers are shielded by the false notion that educated people are inherently moral, good, or even intelligent.

These individuals mark our children's future. While some are brilliant, the wicked ones can destroy lives and self-esteem forever. There are those who grade based on their personal preferences, nauseating egos, personal slights, a desire for dominance, and all sorts of the seven deadly sins flying in their souls. And we must not forget the rapists who coerce young people into sex for grades. Of course, Academia often protects them.

​These are the major abuses of power.
The same evil sins found in wicked lecturers are present in teachers in our primary and secondary schools as well. For example, the KNUST High School staff member who was recorded sucking a young student's breast—he has been sacked, but he should be arrested. This pattern of misconduct is tragically present not only in Ghana but worldwide.

​Parents should pay closer attention to their students. Do not teach them not to question authority or not to fight for their rights. The problem in places like Ghana is that if students do speak up, they are often punished for it, creating a sad situation of hopelessness. Perhaps the only recourse is to tell them to change schools, as we know the system frequently fails. That is why I was ecstatic when Tyrone Marhguy won his case.

Perhaps fighting can change things.
​The total worship of authority figures must stop. Some are gold and deserve praise while others are as dense as a physcopathic broken doorknob.
