Ha! Rme about the silver lining...I watched how the younger teachers came in, and by their in the mix with every new project, boldly pushed the 4-decade veteran teachers aside.

It was quite sad really. All of the community-respected, highly skilled teachers were back-burnered for new faces jockeying for an administrative role.

Many an experienced teacher took early retirement to avoid such unskilled hubris, for lack of a better word.

Peace.
