Maina, I'm currently attending school and it's already week three, but unfortunately, we don't have a set schedule.
OFA:
“Is it true that the class with the most talented dancers typically has weaker overall performer skills, while the class with weaker dancers tends to have the most talented performers?”
Natasha:
What do you mean 'target launching' sessions? They're no longer included in our classroom meetings.
One:
“The KCSE target was launched with a lot spent by parents, I know.”

I am unable to return to this school again.

“An alumnus of Maryhill, here with great pride.”

"Then you have our school, the staff meeting is scheduled for next week, the schedule has not been finalized yet and attendance records are still to be created.”
Chebie 538:
“You mean individuals propose targets, they aren't just decided in boardrooms?”
