Description: Again and again the world of the children is sealed before us. All we have left is to look at their faces, their body gestures, to listen to their language - a mysterious, unexplored alien, from which we have been exiled forever. In anger or pain - is there a difference between the two? - I knock on locked doors, waiting embarrassed in front of a house I was not called to come; The bolts are locked, the windows are permanently closed. It occurs to me that the teacher's call, the call of all the teachers: Be with me, students, why are you not with me, please, be with me for a moment. Years of schooling is a documentation of school life through the eyes of a  teacher and principal: honestly and sensitively, in clear and intimate prose, Gish Amit describes moments of closeness, hope and modest victories, but also failures, heartbreak and loneliness. This is a book that seeks to give consideration to the complexity of the educational act at this time; About the encounter between teachers and students, about teaching and parenting, and about the complicated world of childhood, in which pain and beauty are used together.
