    Should the Headmaster have rather lied about the true character of his ungrateful and disrespectful student? Let's be real. He has been with this student for three years!

    Kwane, you are a fuuul. This is the behaviour of most adults in Ghana that is why the country is not progressing. Young people are put under your care, instead doing a good job of it, many steal the resources for good running ...

    It is because of useless weed smokers like you that we are suffering in Ghana. Only idiots like you will support the indiscipline of the youth. Do you think the headmaster who is well educated is stupid like you? That past ...

    The Headmaster has written what he knows about the student, should he tell lies? We want people who will call a spade a spade. We live in a society where we accept lies, although we know that's not the case. I salute the Head ...

    This is what we called victimization period. Showing him pepper!

  • Ajaccio 1 year ago

    That can never be victimization. It is truth being told. Stop your nonsense and live upright lives. You like corruption too much........

  • OGyam 1 year ago

    No, the headmaster is wrong. You can refuse to give a reference but you cannot give a bad reference.

    Don't you think it is funny this boy never said anything about how he was in school?

  • Chairman Wontimi 1 year ago

    He couldn’t accuse the headmaster of lying? He only said the bad aspects of how students are treated. The headmaster wrote the truth. But he could have refused to write the testimonial.

    I think we have rather heard the student's side of the story, we need to know what made the headmaster wrote that about the student. Some students? Hmmm!

    Exactly. Africans equate confidence with disrespect and pride. The timid ones are most useful in corrupt systems.

    The story seems to act like a moving target. Initially he said he was in a hurry. Then he later stated that it was late so he went to the embassy the next day. From the narration, it sounds like the envelope was sealed. He to ...

    @Frank,You see, you are telling us that your teacher was right in writing negative things about you. That is the kind of person you really were.

    Nobody forced you to commit a crime. You are just a criminal like an armed robber who wants to rationalize his crime. I am sure your life is full of deceit and those around you can testify that you are a dishonest person.

    Why should the teacher be criticized? That is opinion. Ghanaians are taught to lie from their youth. If to him he was disrespectful and ungrateful should the teacher say otherwise. This country is full of corrupt individuals.

    Before we throw the headmaster under the bus, ghanaweb please do a follow up on the matter. If the headmaster is alive, get his side of the story. There we can know if what he wrote was worth it or he was just mischievous.

    So why is the headmaster under criticism? Do people know the character of the student involved? Why should the headmaster vouch for someone he can't trust?

    Nonsense in Ghana. It's the essence of testimonials.
