I find it quite surprising that someone who should be educated and have some "smarts" like a teacher and principal would be so dumb as to keep a large sum of money inside the school when there are banks. This would have made a wonderful class in economics if the teacher had led the students in setting up a bank account. The students would have gained experience in learning how to manage such an account. Hopefully, both students, teacher and principal will use this sad experience as a lesson and use the bank the next time. Is it possible that the stealing could have been an inside job?
