War Ends, Schools Begin
“Good morning! Still alive?” excited teenage girls asked each other as their class, all in white headscarves, lined up in the yard shortly after dawn at Beach Preparatory School.
School starts early in the Gaza Strip because there is not enough classroom space for all the children, so there must be two shifts a day. Source

“I used to hate schools. If i were these kids, i would be so angry. I mean, i don’t have a home, i lost part of my family and friends, i just experienced a horrible war, and I have to go to school?! There better be no homework!”
I remember at the time of Iran-Iraq war, there were many southern Iranians who would come to Tehran or northern cities and their children would go to the new schools in new cities which had not faced the trouble bombings yet.
Most of the time, they were so confused and lonely. BTW the scenes they had seen within war, had made them kind of upset and mentally terrified.
Though they were studying in ‘clean’ schools and not inside ruins, teachers would take it easier for them, for the homeworks alike.
Now that right away after Gaza war, the schools started, with sorrow and grief of murdered family and classmates, i am also wondering what will be the homeworks when the hearts are filled with anger.
Well.. Yeah.. Life has to go on..

It’s nice to see you have compassion for the children of Gaza. I do, too. No children should have to suffer.
But that’s true, as well, for the children of Israel. Where is the outrage at the years-long barrage of rockets being rained on Israel and its children?
A bit of balance would be good.

C. Calvano,
well, you notice that there is no balance between Israeli White phosphorus bombs and Gazan rockets as well! And the ruins and the victims and so on..
If there be balance in that matter, there will be balance in my article too..
I am fan of balanced world!
