Senior teacher erased math problem (10)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

headmaster

'senior teacher' is the definition.
(teacher in charge of a school)

'erased math problem' is the wordplay.
'problem' indicates an anagram.
'erased'+'math'='erasedmath'
'erasedmath' is an anagram of 'HEADMASTER'.

(Other definitions for headmaster that I've seen before include "Principal" , "School manager" , "Top (male) teacher" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
