Omat lapseni jättivät molemmat omat koulunsa, nuorempi kuutosluokkalainen alakoulun ja vanhempi ysiluokkalainen yläkoulun. Kummilapsemme taas vietti lakkiaisia lukion jälkeen.   Vanhan koulun jättäminen taakse ja uuteen siirtyminen on lapsille ja nuorille iso askel. Sitä se on myös vanhemmille. Mieleen nousee yhtä aikaa haikeutta ja iloa. Tippa linssissä kuuntelin lasten upeiden opettajien puheita. On koskettavaa todistaa nuorten kasvua.  Paljon hyvää on takana, ja paljon on edessä.
