parents

Who: Parents (No kids)
What: Parent's Evening!
Where: Nanakamado
When: Evening
Why: So the parents can RUIN LIVES SOME MORE/BE EMBARASSING/WHATEVER.
Note: I don't intend to play the teachers very much. I doubt this is a surprise.

The amount of students at Nanakamado meant that it was almost impossible to book slots with all the necisarry teachers within the same time block. As a result, parents were forced to wait for a long time between each appointment.

The school had clearly foreseen this problem, the assembly hall had been prepared with seats and refreshments to keep perents who they didn't want to enrage from becoming too frustrated with the wait.

Good lord, this woman couldn't control her own son when he was only twenty-three? This was a perfect argument as to why women shouldn't have jobs—it pulled them out of touch with their families, and then, before they knew it, their children were doing whatever the hell they pleased, marrying flighty accountants ~~and foreigners~~.

"I suppose if my granddaughter had to worry about earning a living, my concerns would be different," Fumiko said. It would have been a concession, except for her exceedingly superior tone. A very oh, that's different for you, you're poor people sort of inflection and an almost sympathetic, bland almost-smile. "But she is prepared for her place in life, which is all a parent can aim for. She has learned, and is learning, the skills that will make her an proper, traditional wife once she graduates." … Nanakamado? Or somewhere else. Either way, clearly, Fumiko had a plan set out already.

Akiko gave a little smirk, "Money like all things fades with time. I'm sure that your granddaughter will do perfectly well, however the factor is that it all depends on her intellegence. I'm sorry to say that looks do not win over much anymore. With out proper education, breeding is, unfortunately nothing."

If there was one thing Akiko prided her family and her blood line in it was the history of academia and educators that resided in their family. "I see, and your grandson, what is the plans for him?"

"My grandson will begin working for my son's company, naturally," Fumiko responded smoothly. And personal plans? Well, for someone who regarded proper breeding as "nothing"? Those certainly weren't up for discussion. The old woman's nose was rising ever-so-slightly into the air as the conversation continued; her sense of personal superiority was only being confirmed, over and over again. (Then again, there were few places that Fumiko went that her sense of superiority wasn't confirmed. Some people wore rose-tinted glasses: Kondo Fumiko wore ego-tinted glasses.)

"Education is merely another kind of attachment; as is beauty, as is money." Another vaguely superior slight nod.

"I see, and I assume he already has plans for marriage yes?" She asked causually. The more she spoke to this woman the more she had to wonder if Fumiko could ever look at anything besides the idea of breeding. She suspected that the woman could be entertained for a while though the grand idea of tradition, but in time even that faded to the laziness and stupidity. Which in turn lead straight to people not making educated choices and following the masses. It sickened her that there were people out there that found the idea of being an idiot but from a well off family better then being an educated person from a professional family.

"With out it though, would we not be able to afirm ourself from those that are beneath? I'm sure you've heard of the saying of the rich fool and the poor wiseman." Akiko said.
