My story is entitled David was eavesdropping and silently listening to the conversation of the two teachers when he heard that there was going to be a class meeting at the Achimota School.


Once upon a time Mr. Agbo was next spoken of in our meeting. This was the name by which Mr. Simpson the English teacher was known of at the Achimota School. Mr. Agbo speaks too fast complained one student by name Jonas others also complained that he was so strict and he inflicted corporal punishment on most students. Most students also complained that Mr. Agbo the young teacher was a bully because he beats and punishes students too much and they never liked his attitude at all in the school.


Mr. Agbo was a young French teacher who was mascular in size and quiet tall. It was noted that Mr. Agbo the young French teacher was a bully and that he often than not inflicted corporal punishment on most students.

Again the young French teacher Mr. Agbo claims that the students that he teaches have been disturbing and shouting most often in the classroom , so in trying to stop them and curbing the noise he often beats them mercilessly and later inflicts corporal punishment on them as a sort of discipline. Also some Parents cautioned Mr. Agbo the young French teacher about the reason why he beats and inflicts corporal punishment on these students .


Other Parents also thought Mr. Agbo the young French teacher was a bully and he was not in any way disciplining the children or students of Achimota School.

The Parents and guardians of these students of Achimota School got annoyed and to their annoyance had wanted to then send Mr. Agbo the young French teacher to court for an alleged case of bullying and corporal punishment meted on the students of Achimota School. Some students also complained that Mr. Agbo the young French teacher was very cruel and ill mannered in the way and manner in which he beats and discipline students of the Achimota School.

Mr. Simpson spoke English with a foreign accent and only a few understood him. There was a common view that he spoke too like one in a hurry most of the time. They agreed to warn him to speak more slowly in life.


Others also thought that Mr. Simpson had once lived and taught English in America and the United Kingdom and he has a good score record in his IELTS exam that is the main reason why he often speaks English with a foreign accent of some sort. Mr. Simpson is noted as an Author by profession who writes books and also has a lot of books that was being written to his credit. As noted it was only Mr. Simpson who writes books to some countries in order to earn for himself foreign exchange.


All the other teachers had now been dealt with entirely. They now turned to the other Prefects for help in the school. There was trouble with students of Achimota School said Mr. Agbo he commented that Prefects are too powerful. They can possibly make and unmake laws as enacted that it is only the Prefects who make laws. Some of the Prefects do not like football they make others miserable and they are mean in the school and the community at large. We realized that things are going from bad to worse in the community when Mr. Asamoah joined in. Also I do not know what is really happening. Whenever I move my feet and then I am caught I move my hands I realized that am in severe trouble. Other students and teachers criticized the kitchen. The food also wailed Samuel. Ah! the food. Imagine Friday rice for instance

We used to clean up the plate but now what really happens.? The soup is termed to be tasteless and as for the rice itself it was not cooked well most of the time.

Others claim that they cook stones and then add a little rice to it said one student by name Julia.

True, true agreed Jonas. And what about our morning tea by then.? There was coloured water said Christopher. Yes,yes. The whole class was roused. Almost everybody mentioned his own personal grievances. Another boy complained that he had recently lost his beautiful American T-shirt.

Also another boy had been punished by a Prefect during the previous week by then. He now told the class about the case as if he was completely innocent in the community.


Again now was the time for them to attend to matters connected with the running of the class in Achimota School.I realized during a week before they lost the class blackboard duster. Mr. Asamoah made them contribute about fifty dollars each in order to buy another. As noted two days after Julia and Daniel had been playing with the new duster and had possibly broken it. Again Mr. Agbo the teacher rose and then demanded that most vandals of Achimota School should be punished.

No said Julia, Rubbish ,I do not like your attitude.

No cried out loud Daniel.

How do you mean absolutely "No" ? asked Christopher. He commented that Are you to tell us what to do to you or don't you know you are on trial before us by then.? No said Julia. No , echoed Christopher by then. What a cheek! of some sort shouted Jonas. They are not even sorry at all. It was decided that most students will be expelled from the Achimota School including Julia and Daniel.


Finally as earlier decided the motion to expel both Julia and Daniel was put to the vote and they lost. Then Prince who was both Julia and Daniel friend rose to speak in favour of them. He then commented that Mr. Agbo the teacher had no right to then suggest that both Julia and Daniel should be expelled from the Achimota School.

Also by bringing up such a motion , Jonas was by then wasting the time of the class of the Achimota School.

They later suggested that Judas one of the students of the Achimota School should be expelled from the school within the community.


The main reason why Judas was being expelled from Achimota school was that he was ill mannered and does not speak politely he goes through all sorts of financial constraints in the school.

Judas was also a bully and was well noted to have been beating and inflicting corporal punishment on students and children of the Achimota School. Judas behaviour is almost like that of Mr. Agbo the teacher so no students of the school could easily attest that he was a good student.


It was also alleged that Judas a student of the Achimota School was well noted to have been stealing books of the Achimota School Library claiming they were his but rather those books were entirely the schools property , that was Achimota School.
