I am glad someone found a creative way to solve the problem but a bit sorry for the people who now have a new workmate. Thanks for the explanation - you can only grasp so much from fiction. And I don't think the Simpsons are a great source of information anyway. Our system does mostly work but I'm not sure about the merit of people who may have no relevant experience appointing principals, not to mention the different skill sets in different socio-economic areas.

Hope the new Principal is wonderful.
