The content of the book is based on real events that took place in different schools and in different families of the same city over the course of one year. The author abandoned the idea of expressing personal gratitude to those teachers who shared facts and thoughts with her, so as not to incur the wrath of their superiors. The author's long parental and short teaching experience is also reflected in the text. The childhood experiences described in the book are also real. The school was and remains a distorting mirror of society, and what happens slowly and implicitly in society is reflected grotesquely and explosively in the school. Especially now, when, during the educational reform, zealous officials are trying to fulfill two contradictory tasks: to bring the school into line with the requirements of the post-industrial era and... cut it off at the very core due to lack of funding. And against this background, the eternal triangle: children-parents-teachers - increasingly aggravates the painful corners of its always difficult relationship.
