On the next
Saturday, Euterpe had to attend interviews of two primary schools. Naturally
Vivian and I went with our princess.
Thank goodness
the interviews were a couple of hours apart, and we could actually take a short
break in between the two. In fact, as a parent, I had nothing material to do
for the interview other than waiting outside the room.
And, you know
what, I read another detection fiction.
It was Akui (惡意) of Keigo Higashino (東野圭吾).
*****************************
I must say the
story was so so, and it appears to me nothing but a clumsy mimic of The Murder of Roger Ackroyd.
But, the confession
of Osamu Nonoguchi (野野口修), the
school teacher, does impress me:
“The relation
between teachers and students is based on a misunderstanding. Teacher
hallucinate they has something to teach the students, and students fancy they
could learn something from their teachers. The irony is, it would be fortunate
for both sides to maintan this mutual misunderstanding, and, it does them no
good if they realize the truth. What we are doing is, after all, a playing
house of education.”
