A new school principal was checking over his school the day before the first school class day. Passing the stockroom, he was startled to see the door wide open and teachers bustling in and out, carrying off books and supplies in preparation for the arrival of students the next day.
The school where he had been a principal the previous year had used a check-out system only slightly less elaborate than that at Fort Knox.
Cautiously, he asked the school's long time custodian, "Do you think it's wise to keep the stockroom unlocked and to let the teachers take things without requisitions?"
The custodian looked at him gravely and said, "We trust them with the children, don't we?"
How teachers do it...
Teachers do it with class.
Teachers do it 50 times after class.
Teachers do it with boys and girls.
Teachers make you do it till you get it right.
Inservice
A teacher died and went to heaven. St. Peter welcomed her in and said he would show her to her place in heaven.
The first neighborhood was lovely. People were out on the park-like lawns, socializing, Bar-B-Q-ing, playing golf on a beautifully landscaped golf course, and having a fine time.
"Oh, this is wonderful", says the school teacher to St. Peter, "Is this where I'll be staying?"
"No, this is the doctors' area", replied St. Peter.
They continue the journey and come to another beautiful neighborhood. Again everyone is outside socializing. People are on tennis courts, swimming in pools.
"My, this IS paradise", gushed the teacher, "is this my neighborhood?"
"No, no, the teacher's area is next."
They move on among the clouds until they reach and equally beautiful neighborhood, but no one is outside. No one is visible anywhere and the houses appear to be closed and empty.
"Well, here we are", said St. Peter with a smile, "Isn't this a fine place to be?"
"Yes," replied the teacher with noticeable disappointment in her voice. "Don't many teachers make it to heaven? I don't see anyone else here."
"Sure, we get lots of teachers. Don't worry they'll all be here tomorrow. They're just down in hell for another inservice."
The Principal Called:
The principal called the mother of one of his students. He said, "I have some good news and some bad news.
The bad news is your son thinks he's a frog."
"What's the good news?" asked the mother.
"The good news is I think we licked the fly problem in the cafeteria."
Pilfering
As a new school Principal, Mr. Mitchell was checking over his school on the first day. Passing the stockroom, he was startled to see the door wide open and teachers bustling in and out, carrying off books and supplies in preparation for the arrival of students the next day.
Mr. Mitchell's previous school year had used a checkout system only slightly less elaborate than that at Fort Knox, so he was quite surprised.
Cautiously, he asked the schools long time Custodian, "Do you think it's wise to keep the stock room unlocked and to let the teachers take things without requisitions?"
The Custodian looked at him gravely and said, "We trust them with the children, don't we?" he said.
