My story I found in google search

Nabumali High School will never be the same again. When you see the damage students have done, you will not ask why the Bishop cried.
There should be collective responsibility in these schools.Administrators, teachers parents and students should make sure that their schools are protected jealously. Most people are putting the blame solely on students. Other parties are not talked about. The Ministry of Education should be aware that some school administrators are too bossy. They always put a big gap between themselves and the teachers. Most headteachers are feared by teachers instead of being respected. This normally causes a big gap in communication flow. They are ever in their offices and cannot come to discuss issues with the staff.
Staff meetings are also important. There is a school which holds meetings only twice a term - one at the beginning of term and another at the end. This is dange rous to our schools. I do not know why administrators fear meetings, but I think they are an effective way of getting information from teachers.
When a strike is going to happen in a school, it cannot come out of the blue.Sometimes information about it is always leaked and measures can easly be taken. If the head teacher does not have a good relationship with teachers, it is likely that such strikes can never be contained. Many heateachers do not stay at school, even when the school has a house for the headteacher. This brings suspicion among students and teachers.
Also, students councils should always be given a heed. In most schools headteachers do not handle the students councils with care. Counselling in schools should also be encouraged. Some students come from broken families that make them so aggresive at school, so if they are counselled it can save nine in time.
