Book Information & Summary
Written by Kim Hye Jin and Illustrated by Yoon Ji
Have you ever imagined the school that changes every day?
On Monday, it rains at school all the time. Since the playground is wet, students cannot do gymnastics at the playground, but they can touch the clouds at roof top garden.
Students have to wear sneakers to the school on Tuesday, which is like a giant gym. They have to climb the tree wall and pass through balance beam to enter their classrooms. And they also have to roll themselves to the blackboard to solve problems on it.
On Wednesday, all the locks of the main gate, classroom doors, desk drawers, and even lunch boxes are closed.
On Thursday, students go to school in the middle of the night when everyone sleeps.
On Friday, there is a school, but also there is no school at the same time……., because children have to make their school on their own with hands. Will they be able to make it to build classrooms before the end of school year?
Schools in this book have their unique characteristics and own rules as well as unrevealed secrets, so it is a big fun to look at those schools while reading this book. The specific setting enough to make each episode as independent stories will lead readers into the fantastic world.
Readers might think there could be schools like this somewhere else. What if I go to this school? What will happen? While asking and answering on their own, readers will look back on their ‘school’ which they used to think of as it is so far. Haven’t we all thought it was right and natural that all the classrooms in a rectangle shape have the same desks and chairs toward only one direction?
Children of ‘The School During A Week’ do something weird and make mistakes as other children in reality. However, they never get intimidated by their mistakes, and instead, decided their new challenges on their own. In that process, they realize that they can do more things than they thought of. The school in this book is not a perfect one. The fact that there is no school for everyone is somewhat similar to the realities of children reading this book, who cannot ‘choose’ their own school.
However, the school in this book shows that the school of tomorrow can be different depending on who their friends are, who their teachers are, or what events happen. And this expectation that tomorrow would be different will be able to help children make their future different.
