It starts innocently. Casually. You turn up at the annual spring fair full of beans, help with the raffle tickets {because the pretty red-haired music teacher asks you to} and win a bottle of whiskey {all school raffles are fixed}, and, before you know where you are, you're turning up at the weekly school council meetings, organizing concerts, discussing plans for a new music department, donating funds for the rejuvenation of the water fountains-you're implicated in the school, you're involved in it. Sooner or later you stop dropping your children at the school gates. You start following them in.
