Female students are not your wives; leave them alone – Teachers told

 

Teachers have been told to exercise their duties with respect, dignity and self-discipline.

According to a renowned educationist, Eric Ɔpanyin Wireko teachers are not just to impact knowledge into the students they are also there to shape the souls of the students.

“You’re not just teaching a subject; you’re shaping a soul. Let the classroom be a place of growth, not trauma.” Ɔpanyin Wireko said in his latest article title “Female school students are not our wives, male teachers leave them alone”

“You’re gifted, admired, and passionate about your work. Many girls in your class may have crushes on you, but their admiration is not permission, their smiles are not invitations, and their boldness is not maturity. They’re still children, vulnerable, and figuring out their emotions.” Part of the article read.

 

Below is the full article:

FEMALE SCHOOL STUDENTS ARE NOT OUR WIVES, MALE TEACHERS LEAVE THEM ALONE

Message to Basic School and Senior High School Male Teachers

Teachers, stop exploiting Basic and Senior High School girls.

This is not just a warning; it’s a cry for the girl child, our schools, and sanity.

Dear male teachers,

You’re gifted, admired, and passionate about your work. Many girls in your class may have crushes on you, but their admiration is not permission, their smiles are not invitations, and their boldness is not maturity. They’re still children, vulnerable, and figuring out their emotions.

When you cross that sacred line, you harm them, killing their confidence, future, and right to grow up whole and safe.

Many girls are walking around today broken, hiding pain, and blaming themselves because of teachers who exploited them.

_Let me say this loud and clear:_ If a girl student gets bold enough to come close, it’s because you’ve already given her the signal. Weak boundaries are an invitation to destruction.

Don’t justify your actions with excuses. Be different. Protect her, guard your role, and be disciplined.

You’re not just teaching a subject; you’re shaping a soul. Let the classroom be a place of growth, not trauma.

We must shout it louder until every teacher hears it:

_Leave the girl child alone!_
_Let her grow!_
_Let her breathe!_
_Let her be safe!_
