Didn't Chekov write something about this?

One of the older (64) teachers slept in today, since her clock’s battery ran out during the night. She came to school thirty minutes late and was yelled at in the front hallway by the twenty-something vice principal, although this is the second time she’s been late all year, and there was no problem whatsoever in her coming late, she didn’t even have a class. However, the teacher was so embarrassed, she decided to retire, attributing her failure to wake up to dotage. She suggested to the principal that her position be filled by the vice principal’s little sister, who gossips with the students about scraps of my personal life.
