Alan always played pranks on other classmates, and everyone did not like him. There were no teachers to tell him he was wrong. He did not get equal treatment in class anymore and he became lonely.

After one month, Alan was very sad for playing a prank on the teachers. He knew the teachers were very important. So he used Facebook to tell all the teachers he teased. He hoped they would go back to school. Alan’s report card grades were not very good, so his family was very worried and wanted him to change schools.

Although the school did not have any teachers, the students taught better than the teachers. The school became Band One. The teachers went back after two months and they were very sad to leave the students. Alan cried and he felt sorry for teasing them. His marks became good again.
