A veteran school teacher was certain she would get the upcomingย promotionย to Vice-Principal since she had greater seniority than the other teachers. When the appointment went to a teacher with less experience she was outraged.
“How can you do this to me? I’ve been teaching school forย twentyย years” she lamented to the School Board Chairman.
With gentle wisdom he responded, “Dear lady, you haven’t been teaching twenty years. You’ve taughtย oneย year twenty times.”
