Wars and financial crises are getting closer and closer, and racial tensions will damage the whole social fabric soon. My first students, though, are oblivious to this apocalypse.

After Ms. Cody presses the button for the opening bell, in the next few minutes, these young human beings will go and sit down in large classrooms wings, they will run and sweat in gyms whose excellence will be described as \u201cthe last word of equipment\u201d by the local press. They will learn to swim in individual pools, one for the boys and one for girls. In the two-storey auditorium, they will in the celebrations organised to mark the end of the year. They will not notice my floors in hard maple, but they will talk non-stop about the automatic phone system, which allows any part of my buildings to make and receive calls. Ring, ring!

You can still hear their voices: sweet, high-pitched, unbroken, unstable. Can you also see them? Some are hunched forward onto their school tables, trying to solve that math test. Others have gathered in the vocational wing and they are excited to learn woodworking. Some marvel at electricity classes and gas engine repair. They are unconsciously hungry for life. They yawn during the oral tests. They push each other to see who\u2019s going to get first to the end of this corridor. A rascal scratches a ruler onto the blackboard. Darker clouds are closing in in the sky. He turns around, quickly, and throws a piece of chalk to those sitting in the front rows. Two girls are standing at the top of the stairs. They whisper a secret: \u201cI am in love with Mark\u201d. \u201cSo am I\u201d. \u201cThat\u2019s great, the more, the merrier\u201d. Laughter. Black spots on their foreheads. Some of them will lead successful and fulfilling lives, you can tell. Others feel incomplete, while they sluggishly kick stone around my garden. They will be alright too, though. Everything will be just fine.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-6694\" src=\"https:\/\/www.skandorinasdiary.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/20.jpg\" alt=\"20\" width=\"649\" height=\"435\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.skandorinasdiary.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/20.jpg 649w, https:\/\/www.skandorinasdiary.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/20-300x201.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 649px) 100vw, 649px\" \/><\/p>\n<input class=\"fooboxshare_post_id\" type=\"hidden\" value=\"9418\"\/>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The whole life ahead The future.
