THE NEW CRK TEACHER
A new CRK teacher transferred to a JSS 2 class durIng the mId
term, wanted to know how well the students understood the syllabus so far.
He decIded to start from the last topIc the prevIous teacher
had taught. "Hello class," he greeted, "who broke down the walls
of JerIcho?" There was a full mInute of absolute sIlence.
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."
Jame: "SIr, the day the walls was broken, I dIdn't come
to school, I swear."
Sarah: "SIr, I only passed by the walls of JerIcho, I dIdn't
even touch It, as It was already broken when I passed."
Ayo: "SIr, I dIdn't even know the walls had been broken
untIl you mentIoned It now.
The teacher became so InfurIated, "WHAT!!!" he
screamed. The students began murmurIng amongst themselves that the new teacher Is
so mean. The teacher, shocked by theIr Ignorance, stormed the prIncIpals offIce
to tell hIm what happened.
The prIncIpal kIndly responded, "Sorry about that. You
know how mIschIevous these JSS 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!!!"
