Mr. STUPID GYEDU must be arrested to face the music of his life. This is West African Examination and not a terminal test of St. John's for goodness sake.
I suggest that a 'continuous assessment' (previous class work/exams) policy must be used to pass or fail them instead of wasting their precious time.

In which world are we living?
Were the students in a beauty contest or they were about to use their brains to write a paper? What a shame. The teachers's action is in effect taken time out of the lives of these hard working students, and must be paid for in economic terms, monetary value must be put to it by competent lawyers and a financial guru.

I wonder why this lawlessness and impunity goes on in Ghanaian schools. The retards should be sued by the parents and fired by the ministry to serve as a deterrent.

Dearest me Lord! What a load of rubbish! In this day and age, a teacher who is supposed to be 'educated' and 'enlightened' preventing students from writing an examination they have been schooled and prepared for, all for the sake of being on a higher pedestal of 'values-; becaos of bushy hair? The idiot must be sacked, as he is not fit to be involved in educating the youth. Simply, an idiotic numbskull!!

Most of you have forgotten that boys and girls are required (policy) to cut their hair shot. The only reason this teacher and headmistress should be sued is they should have know about this bushy hair way before exams time and addressed it. One does not grow Afro in a day unless it is a fake Afro do. The school should have seen this while they attended class and asked them to cut the hair. The fact is all Government sponsored schools are required to cut hair. Stupid policy but rules are rules and it did not kill any of us while we went to these same schools. What is upsetting is the impact to the kids and the authorities must have known they had bushy or Afro hair and not pull a stupid stunt on exam day. The parents should sue them.
