From a teacher’s point of view, I can see why SS3 students do this “signing out” after WAEC - they’re excited, free, celebrating end of 6 years but these pictures show several reckless behaviours that carry real dangers.
Students have vandalized school uniforms with marker/pen writings and drawings. There’s also close body contact/hugging that looks inappropriate for school setting.
The last time I checked, school uniform represents the school. Scribbling on it indirectly teaches that school rules don’t matter once exams finish.
Students carry that same attitude into the university and subsequently, workplace.
What starts as ‘fun photo’ can become unwanted touching, peer pressure, or “dare” games. Some students regret these photos later. WAEC is over, but self respect and personal boundaries still matter.
Primary pupils and JSS students see SS3 seniors do this every year and probably think “That’s how we graduate”.
It becomes a cycle. Next year JSS3 will copy and even escalate to worse scenarios.
My perspective as a teacher
It’s not about killing their joy:
Students deserve to celebrate.
We agree!
The big question is : ‘how do they celebrate?’
To the sudent reading this,
I want you to know that freedom after WAEC is real but freedom without sense leads to regret.
Protect your dignity, your uniform, and each other while celebrating this milestone.
Dear fellow teachers/ parents,
Our job isn’t to shame or castigate them. It’s to redirect that energy before someone gets hurt, hara$$ed, arrested or even ki!!£d.
