St. Nicholas Grammar School Ohafia Imo State. 15th May, 1992. The Principal St. Nicholas Grammar School Ohafia. Dear Sir, STUDENTS' COMPLAINTS AGAINST THE TEACHING STAFF

I wish to bring to your notice the complaints of the students against the teaching staff. As the senior prefect of the school, I have heard several complaints against the members of the teaching staff of the school. My office has been inundated with a lot of grievances, some of them written down in form of a protest letter and some verbally.

The first complaint is that many teachers fail to attend classes to teach the students. The fact is that they are either absent from school or they refuse to come out of the staff-room to teach the students during their various class periods. They are always absent from classes and this has resulted in students being idle most of the time. In most cases, the students are left unoccupied to roam the school compound.

The second grievance of the students is that teachers come late to school everyday. Most days, students do not have teachers on duty to conduct the morning devotion for them. Therefore, the students are left to go to classes without the normal morning assembly and prayers. This also affects the first two lessons which most students miss simply because teachers come late to school. Similarly, there are cases of teachers coming late to school in the morning and when they eventually come, they will sit down in the staff-room discussing irrelevant things instead of going to their classes.

The students also complained about teachers' lazy attitude and failure to prepare adequately before going to teach. Many of them do not have lesson notes and when they have, the notes are haphazardly prepared. This has made their teaching disjointed and uninteresting according to the students. There are other grievances such as male teachers making love advances to female students. I would want you to investigate this allegation properly.

In view of all these complaints. I would be shrinking in my responsibilities if I fail to inform you that the students are planning secretly to riot. In order to avert this riot, therefore. I would be delighted if you could correct all these anomalies so as to bring sanity and restore a sense of duty in the members of the teaching staff. Please sir. it demands urgent attention as nothing else can make the students change their minds.

Your faithfully,

(Signature)
