So today, after doing the necessary work in school, everyone was just so tired, including the students. So I decided to stroll into different classes to see what some of the students who were inside during break time were doing.

I met some students playing, some writing, some hosting, and I met another set playing with something. Immediately they saw me coming, they stood up and hid the item. I smiled and ordered them to bring it out. "Why did you play with it in the classroom?" I asked. "Sir, we didn't want to go out for break, so we decided to keep ourselves busy with the game," they replied. So I decided to threaten them a little, although I knew the game was a nice, educative one. I ordered them to hand it over to me, and they did. I asked them to sit the way they were sitting, and I pretended as if I wanted to tear it, and their mood changed. Then I started sharing it back to them, including myself, and said, "Let's play together," and they smiled and we started the game. But I gave them one condition, "On no account must you win your teacher in this game. If you try it, you are finished." They all smiled, so we continued with the game, and guess who won... and guess the kind of game we were playing hahahahah.

So I went back to the staff room to pick some stuff. Just when I was about leaving the staff room, a young child walked in crying. He went straight to one of the staff and started complaining, "Sir, I was just on my own and Victor used that plastic chair handle to beat me." The teacher asked, "What did you do?" The boy responded, "Nothing." "Oya, go and call Victor," the teacher said. I had to sit back and see how the case would end.

Not quite long, Victor arrived. "Did you beat him?" the teacher asked. "Yes sir, I did." "Why did you beat him?" "Sir, he was playing mp3 in the classroom and I asked him to stop because he was disturbing, and he started insulting me." Hahahaha, I laughed from my seat. He came to report a case, forgetting that he was also guilty, and in pidgin they say, "No be who first call police dey win case."

"Who authorized you to bring mp3 to school and even play it in the classroom? Oya, go and bring the mp3." And the guy went and brought it. Victor is guilty of an offense for breaking the school plastic chair because he could not prove beyond reasonable doubt that he was not the person who broke it, and also for bullying another student. Also, the guy who reported Victor was also guilty of an offense for bringing mp3 to school and even playing it in the classroom.

If you were the teacher, how would you judge the case and what punishment would you give?
