Snowbound Weekend

I have never seen this much snow in this area. It is more than 75cm depth. All the railroads stop, all the highways are closed, all the events are canceled. So, all the members of my family are staying home on the weekend.

I was invited to a reunion party held by my former students this weekend. I was their vice homeroom teacher 45 years ago, and I have not seen most of them since then. I really wanted to see them, but it was also canceled.

It was my first school to work as a junior high teacher, just after the graduation from university. I was only a young girl knowing nothing about scchool systems or common practises at schools. My English classes must be awful, now I know. But I liked the students so much. On weekends they visited my room, had snack together and chatted together. I was happier with them than with the other teachers. They were fifteen years old then, and now sixty.

It seems a story of good old days. The situation of schools , students, and parents are changed so much. Their relation looks more and more oppressive.

Moreover, the government has a plan to teach children their favorite moral in the class. Their plan has been to change people through education as before.
