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, 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."
John: "Sir the day the walls was
broken, I didn't come to school,
I swear"
MARY: "Sir I only passed by the
walls of Jericho, I didn't even
touch it, as it was already
broken when I passed 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, "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
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"
Who is more stupid, the
students or the principal?
