THE ESL TEACHER AND HIS COLLEAGUE

Glenn, an industrious ESL teacher, was preparing an elaborate set of lessons plans for his detailed semester plan when Billy, his colleague, came by and asked him why he was doing this. “I see no reason,” Billy remarked. “There are no classes for at least another week and besides no one ever checks our work. In fact, at the moment I can’t see any point in what you are doing at all.”
“True,” responded Glenn, “but when the school term resumes, I’ll have other things on my mind than scrambling for ideas.”

It is too late to prepare for action after the school bell chimes.
