21st century schools

INTERNAL - SCHOOL RECEPTION DESK.

TWO MEN TALKING TO SCHOOL RECEPTIONIST - THE MEN ARE WORKMEN CARRYING TOOL BOXES AND LADDERS.

Man 1: We are here to install the whiteboard

Receptionist: Oh yes class 4 follow me.

THE MEN FOLLOW THE RECEPTIONIST DOWN A CORRIDOR; SHE POINTS THEM INTO A CLASSROOM.

Receptionist: Here we are this is where it's going in the same place as where the blackboard is now.

RECEPTIONIST POINTS AT A WALL

Man 1: Thanks love. We shouldn't be to long.

RECEPTIONIST LEAVES.

Man 1: Right let's get on with it.

MAN 2 SETS UP LADDER AND PLACES DUST SHEETS AROUND THE ROOM

MAN 1 STEPS ON LADDER IN FRONT OF BLACKBOARD

Man 1: Pass me the paint.

MAN 2 PASSES A TIN OF WHITE PAINT TO MAN 1

MAN 1 PAINTS BLACKBOARD WITH WHITE GLOSS (MATT)

Man 2: I'll go and sort out the coffee, while we wait for the paint to dry.

MAN 2 STEPS BACK AND ADMIRES HIS HANDY WORK

FADE OUT.

This is way too much of ever explanation for whats basically a very simple punchline people will get.

All you need is

WORKMEN STAND INFRONT OF BLACK BOARD DRIPPING WITH WHITE PAINT
HEAD MASTER IS LOOKING ANGRY

HEADMASTER
That's not what I meant by a white board.

Thank Sooty, I see what you mean I wanted to get the bit in where they say "installing a whiteboard" I went around the block a bit to get there.

Thanks again.

I reckon it's an OK gag, but I think you're a bit out of date, Carlos - whiteboards came in in the 90s, in the 21st century, schools are all interactive smartboards.

Thanks gappy, you are right it is dated, sometimes I forget there are other villages outside of Wales.
