the middle of this character is the left hand side of the character 师. this character 师 is part of the word 老师, which means teacher and teachers are usually in class teaching students.
ban means a group of students taking a class together. So think of this character as two Wangs -Wang Peng and Wang Ming and a third person taking a class together or Two and a Half Men (since the middle part looks incomplete) taking a class together

There are two characters meaning “king” and in between the kings are more strokes, which indicates “class.”
