<p>I am sitting here listening to the Math teacher and trying to make head or tail of what he is talking about. Whom am I kidding, I am just staring blankly at him, seeing his mouth move, yet my mind isn’t really here.</p>
<p>I know it’s not yet break time, but my stomach doesn’t understand the timetable. It is not out of disrespect for this teacher, but lately hunger pangs have decided to be my friend. You know that sort of friendship that forces itself on you even when you are ignoring it? Yes? No?</p>
<p>Positive thoughts! This too shall pass! A few more minutes to break time! Then I will grab that sandwich and bewitch this bewitching wretched hunger. Oh crap! (Forgive my swearing).</p>
<p>He is coming this way. Focus! Focus!</p>
<p>Teacher: “Young man, what answer do you have?”</p>
<p>Me: I am still working it out.</p>
<p>Teacher: “Are you really here? You seem to be far away in your thoughts. Come back to class!”</p>
<p>Me: (Pen on my notebook) I was just thinking of a better way to solve the problem. (A student’s best asset is a brain that thinks fast. I call mine the beautiful brain. It has gotten me out of more awkward situations. I just hope it doesn’t let me down today.)</p>
<p>Teacher: OK class; let’s go on, where were we?</p>
<p>Me: Sigh! That was close.</p>
<p>You see, if we had snacks in class, this would not have happened. Now he will be on my case to show the class my new method of solving the problem. Good thing I have <a href="http://mwalimoo.com/m?src=blg" target="_blank" rel="noopener">this cool app</a> that allows me to practice my schoolwork at home. You can also try it out.</p>
<p>See why if I was president I would make it legal for students to snack anytime during the school day?</p>

<p>The number of unrest in schools is worrying. It seems to be a trend that repeats itself over the years. In just one week, we witnessed two events of high <a href="http://www.nation.co.ke/counties/Naikuru-School-fire-Kisii/-/1107872/3272522/-/ysduts/-/index.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">school arson</a>. The number of fires breaking in schools lately is alarming.</p>
<p>When it comes to tertiary institutions, the abuse of drugs and alcohol is on the rise. Could the cycle of school unrest be tied to drug abuse?</p>
<p>A survey we ran had the highest number of debut alcohol consumption at teenage (between 13-19 years).</p>
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">
<p lang="en" dir="ltr">At what age did you have your first alcoholic drink?</p>
<p>&mdash; Eneza Education (@EnezaEducation) <a href="https://twitter.com/EnezaEducation/status/750273207349936128">July 5, 2016</a></p></blockquote>
<p>Just over the weekend, we witnessed the loss of university students through a <a href="http://www.nation.co.ke/news/Lone-survivor-glad-to-be-alive-after-accident/-/1056/3277816/-/up79mvz/-/index.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">road accident</a>. It is alleged that drunk driving could have been the cause of the accident.</p>
<p>Join us for an #EnezaChat on Friday 8th July as we delve into the discussions of Drugs and Alcohol abuse on students&#8217; life. The twitter chat starts at 2pm-5pm.</p>
<p>Follow the conversations on @EnezaEducation and the hashtag #EnezaChat</p>
