The Teacher’s Daughter

Summary

At the ceremony where my mother, Helena Marlow, received the Best Homeroom Teacher award, the parents wept with gratitude. They praised her for nurturing the students successfully without ever resorting to harsh discipline, and for helping them all to excellent results.

But no one knew that the path to their children’s success had been paved by Mom, using me as a warning to others.

When someone in the class stole money, cheated on an exam, or got into a romantic relationship, I was the one punished.
