Evil Grin

The AP was grinning from ear to ear.  Finally, the senior teachers in her department, the ones who taught her the ropes and covered her ass were gone.  She no longer needed, or wanted their advice.  She made them so miserable that those eligible for retirement ran.  (Many had planned on being in the classes for quite a few years longer.)  She knew they had morals and scruples, things that would interfere with her willingness to do anything and everything to look good.  She knew they would not permit her to keep abusing the children she was in charge of.

The department was now full of newbies.  True, many of these youngsters did not know the first thing about teaching but they knew how to bow and scrape.  They knew how to follow her every command.  She knows nothing but these newbies know even less.  She deposed her enemies and that was all that mattered.

(She was also confident that her new boss would protect her at all costs.)
