Based on the novel The Lekki Headmaster, why does the school no longer allow students to copy notes from the Class Prefect?

The school no longer allows students to copy notes from the Class Prefect because a parent sued the school for this practice. The incident involving Mr. Guta and Mr. Fafore is directly connected to this policy change. Students had been copying notes dictated by or written by the Class Prefect, and when Mr. Guta found what he believed was a grammatical error in his son's notes, the resulting confrontation and legal action forced the school to discontinue the practice.

The lawsuit demonstrated the legal liability the school could face when students copy notes that may contain errors. If a parent can hold the school legally accountable for mistakes in notes that students copy from one another, the school's safest course of action is to stop the practice entirely and ensure that all instructional materials come directly from teachers.

The other options are not the reason given in the novel. Classroom management disruption, copying errors by students, and teachers believing it wastes time are not what prompted the policy change. It was specifically the legal action taken by a parent that led the school to ban the practice.
