The words of complaint coming from the parents of the students against one of his teachers keep ringing in his ears as the high school principal goes over the formal letter of complaint coming from the president of the parent-teachers association. A teacher attempted to collect forty pesos from each failing student in exchange for a successful graduation. In accordance to this letter of complaint, the assistant principal receives reports from the students about the same case. To investigate further, facts were gathered. Although the facts that have been gathered seemed to prove the teachers guilt, it might be assumed that the latter is a victim of a frame up. It can be possible that his students do not like him for some personal reasons or maybe, the parents are influenced by their children. For these reasons, two alternatives are open to the principal from which he may draw his decision of the case. These were provided in the latter part of the paper.
