No Teachers at our School!

Mandy,

Plot

When the teachers went on strike at her school, Amanda Roberts persuaded her father, who was a professor, to install computers in each class so that the girls could run the school by themselves. The Education Department agreed to give the girls a month’s trial, but were unaware that the seniors were bullying the juniors. Amanda was determined to show the younger girls that they could outwit the seniors, but she didn’t know that there was a spy in their midst, who told tales to Rachel West, the Head Girl.
