It will be nice but such Academic Discipline should not be accompanied by whippings and beatings as was done during our days in school. I remember how we were whipped at the back of our bodies if we got such Mental, English Spelling words or English Grammar wrong. Anyway, it helped force us to learn.

We beaten, shamed, made to do other punishments for being slower by ignorant system. Today our slow and logical thinking and processing capabilities are the ones that make the difference in our everyday lives.

Where do we get all these stupid and arrogant people from? You were cained, as we all were, and didn't enjoy it, but you don't use that as grounds to change established systems. Besides, hasn't caining already been withdrawn from schooling? So, without the caining aspect, what is your beef? What knowledge does this thing have in education? Should the practice be stopped or done in the afternoon? Every ape makes a sound, and then jobless Ghanaweb transmits the same

Yes, even the "morning mental" is not common in the Ghanaian classrooms. EAI, please get your fact right. You are far behind. Shalom

Some of these academically weak brains will be deceived by donars with dollars abroad, and they'll start giving us stupid suggestions to further destroy our educational system. What we have witnessed for the past 8yrs is the results we're seeing today.

That's a very laudable idea. In our time every early morning was a mental session and everyone wanted to impress.
Caning should also be re-introduced sparingly.

"Sparingly"? Who decides "sparingly", the teacher, the headmaster or the student?

Please get your facts right. This is no longer a practice in the Ghanaian classroom. In fact it was cancelled so many years ago!

If mental is still around then it should be scraped. It scares the children. Some lazy teachers ask questions on topics they have not even taught.

You have said it all.
Mental mathematics and English dictations put the students or learners to be always alert.
Also, it challenges the learner.
The fact of the matter is that the teacher in the primary schools to conduct this mental mathematics is a fobia.
He or she hates the subject and is always stack to effectively deliver the subject.
The approach to teaching mathematics is highly questionable.
Concept teaching is no longer there . The subject is taught for teaching sake, and many learners of mathematics do not understand what they are taught, let alone apply it in any situation
