“How was school，Ben？” I asked my grandson after he began kindergarten (幼儿园) this year.“The work is too long...and there’s not enough time to play，” he replied.

I couldn’t help but remember Ben’s own mother，my daughter，Jane，and her reaction (反应) to the first day of school.Julie was also disappointed with the first day of school and so was her little sister.“I want to go ‘sool’and you not let me！” my three­year­old daughter announced angrily after her big sister got on the big yellow school bus.

When Julie returned home that afternoon I asked her the same question that I asked Ben，“How was school，Julie？” Julie replied，“I didn’t learn to read today.”

This year as the school bus went by my house，my mind went back to those school days again.I could almost smell the chalk dust in the air.I also wonder what the children these days manage to get chosen to do in order to get out of school for a few moments since there are no erasers to clean.It was fun to be “chosen” for eraser cleaning duty.This was a task finished by going outside and beating erasers together while sneezing and coughing.No_wonder_so_many_babies_now_have_allergies_(过敏症)，it’s_simply_because_we_all_have_chalk_dust_in_our_lungs!

On the first day of school，the expectation was so great that I would ready long before it was time to leave for school.We didn’t miss having backpacks because we had cigar boxes.We carried our small supplies inside a cigar box from one of the local stores.We saved the cigar boxes and used them from year to year until they fell apart.

The first day of school was exciting.It was a new beginning.The doors of knowledge had been opened.The first day of school is an event in our lives that most of us remember.It’s a big step for a small child toward leaving babyhood behind and so “there isn’t enough time to play”．

No matter how old we get，nor how much we learn，it still seems like “The work is too long...and there’s not enough time to play.”
