Who's in Charge Here?

An irate parent was arguing with our former principal, Ed Alba, about the school's unwillingness to revoke a 3-day suspension assigned to his chronically disruptive child. In exasperation, this father took a nickel out of his pocket and flipping it to Mr. Alba, he said forcefully, "look, I'm a taxpayer and I pay your salary. You have to do as I ask."With quick reflexes, Mr. Alba caught the coin and said, "No we do not. The suspension will take place." He then flipped the coin back to the father and said, "Keep the change."
