[b]A new R.M.E (Religious And Moral Education) teacher who was transferred to a JHS 2 Class during the midterm wanted to know how well the students understood the syllabus so far. He then decided to ask questions starting from the last topic the previous teacher had taught and the following happened.
Teacher: Hello class, who broke down the walls of Jericho?
There was a full minute of absolute silence and all the students just stared at him blankly.
The teacher then pointed at the students in the front desk to answer the question. The students began responding.
Amos: Sir, I'm a new student here, I just started this school last week.
John: Sir, the day the walls broke down , I didn't come to school, I swear.
MARY: Sir, I only passed by the walls of Jericho and I didn't even touch it oo. It was already broken when I passed by it.
Rufus: "Sir, I didn't even know the walls had been broken until you mentioned it now."
The teacher became so shocked and infuriated.
Teacher: What!!!" he screamed.
The students began murmuring amongst themselves that the new teacher is so mean.
The teacher, shocked by their ignorance, stormed to the Principal's office to tell him what happened. The principal kindly responded,
Principal: Sorry about that. You know how mischievous these JHS students can be. Always destroying things and later denying it. But be rest assured, this matter would be fully investigated. Just write down the total cost in fixing the said wall, and at the next PTA meeting the issue would be discussed.
What would have been your reaction if you were that teacher? [/b]
