An Old Dog Who's Just an Old Dog

My sister is the Head of Technology at a small private school in Jacksonville Beach.  After thirteen years, the principal of her school retired.  The new principal, who had come from another local private school, asked my sister to meet with the Head of Technology at her former school to discuss the possibility of using some of the same software she had used at her former school.  I was invited to attend the meeting since I had expressed an interest in learning more about Edmodo, Dropbox, and Google Apps.  My sister has been successful in implementing an excellent program at her school, teaching herself everything she knows about the machines and software.  Her colleagues at her school believe she has hung the technology moon.  Despite her competence and everyone’s confidence in her, she is worried that the new principal wants to hire her former technology teacher to take my sister’s place.  I’m sure the principal is happy to leave behind the old technology teacher.  The first thing the other teacher said to us was that she wasn’t interested in learning anything new, an odd statement for someone in her position.  She was kind-of grumpy and ridged. 

I just need to convince my sister that she’s great at her job and nobody will want to replace her!
