September:
Τhe schools οpen, the lessons begin
Summer is over and September has come, the first month of autumn. Nevertheless,
September is still a very hot month, which is why some people take their leave
at this time of year, to bathe in the sea in peace and enjoy their vacation.
But for most, September is the month they return to work and schools open. All
the children are getting ready to buy their school stuff: bag, case, pencils,
erasers, pens, notebooks, markers. Teachers and professors must show up at
school on the first day of the month to be on duty. They have about two weeks
to prepare and start classes for the new school year. Teachers and students,
again, have to adjust, go to bed earlier in the night, to wake up early in the
morning, to go to school.
The children will meet their classmates from last year and will be anxious to
find out who their teachers will be for this year. But there are also those
children who go to school for the first time or change their level of
education, so it is again like starting from the beginning. They are the kids
in the first grade, who have more anxiety and curiosity and sometimes fear, for
what they will face and if they will succeed. But it is also their parents who
wish and want their children to go well to school and be good students. And
while the children will at some point finish all school classes and graduate,
their educators, teachers and professors will never graduate. Every year they
are in their place, in the classroom and try to teach their students, young and
older, knowledge, but also values of life. So this year
too, a new school year begins !!!
Let us wish all the children and all the educators, of all levels, a good and
creative year, with strength and health !!! Good start!!!
