memory fragment

i remember when i was a kinder student of saint anthony learning center (SALC), now known as School of Saint Anthony (SSA), my kinder teacher asked us to go to sleep (i dont know if other schools also do this). and being the obedient kid that i am (well, not very obedient actually, because a year later, when i was elevated to prep, i refused to go in front of the class and recite. my prep teacher had to pull me off my seat, only to give up because i kept going back to my seat), i did sleep! i mean, my teacher had to ask my seatmate to wake me up. i think her name starts with the letter H. it wasnt a common name. ok, im digressing. going back, to the sleep "order", now that i remember it, it got me asking, why? why ask the kinder students to sleep? i mean, back then, we didnt ask that, we just do what the teacher tells us to do. i think that's what my mother told me. just follow your teacher's instructions. ok, maybe its just a way of saying, "kids, its time to take a break, but this isnt recess so stay put! i dont want to see any of you running around". and since would be bored just staying put and sitting around, why not sleep, right? i dont know. just crossed my mind
