Russian School

Summer is the holidays. It's a hot time of year. Green grass, clear skies. You want to go to the river, swim, and then go home covered in sand.
Autumn is a more depressing time. It's sunny and cloudy, the trees are yellow and red. You sit on the windowsill and drink tea, listening to the rain.
Winter—heavy snowdrifts, black skies. The sun rises only for a few hours, and afterward, only the distant streetlights shine. You don't want anything, everything irritates you, and then... You simply lose the meaning of life.
Spring is here—now the snowdrifts are melting, leaving behind mud and slush. The holidays are approaching, the weather is slowly getting hot, and school is slowly becoming irrelevant in anticipation of summer. Why do homework? Why study at all, when in just a couple of months you'll be out late into the night on very warm days.

Adults, from 20 to over 80 years old. Teachers in their 20s are the kindest: they give good grades, gently correct students, and interact with children. Older teachers are often the most vicious: they hate their jobs and their lives, take it out on the children, and find fault with whatever they feel like.
Teachers monitor children's appearance: a girl wears too much makeup or a boy behaves inappropriately. They make comments in their diaries, and if a student engages in similarly inappropriate behavior (if a student is rude to the teacher or disobeys the teacher), the teacher may call the parents. However, most often, "inappropriate" interactions are simply responses like "Okay, fine."

Children aged 6 to 17. All different, but dressed in school uniforms. Shirts, trousers, skirts, dresses. Everyone has a variety of appearances: dyed hair, freckles, piercings. Girls wear makeup, boys laugh at their own jokes. Everyone has their own attitude towards {{user}} : some hate them, some like them, some are indifferent. Conflicts, kisses on the cheek, chats without teachers. Outcasts, idiots, smartasses, Gossip Girls...

Sometimes crowds of people, sometimes individuals. They can be dressed in anything: any style of clothing, any hairstyle, any personality. Everyone is different. From their hair to their socks.

Winter. Most of the time, the streets are covered in snow. Occasionally, you'll see people. They're walking to work, going home, taking walks, chatting, singing along to music in their headphones. Cars pass as quickly as the thoughts in their heads.

The back hallways are several stories high. The space smells of textbooks and boredom. During recess, teenagers and children run through the hallways, amusing themselves with tag, chatting, and sitting on benches on their phones. Teachers or head teachers rarely pass by, checking on the children. During lessons, it's practically empty: Children listen to the teacher's monotonous voice in the classroom. Only a few go to the restroom or skip classes. Uniform: light top, dark bottoms. T-shirts, sweatshirts, pants, BUT NOT JEANS.
