As a teacher, my boss, the headteacher once gave us a long lecture on how he couldn’t stand cobwebs. His order that they be removed every day was achieving little. Then a brainwave hit him: “I have to kill the spider,” he said. With so many remarks, he sacked the popular, but rogue school captain.

The students applauded, the school cheered and the crest fallen bully head boy walked to the dorm in shame that morning. The school was saved. The principal left a rich legacy. Mr President for how long will you remove cobwebs and the same spider keeps on re-webbing the landscape.
