This morning, my whole family went to Bur Oak high school for my daughter to enroll.
At around 8:15, I was talking with a teacher about the enrollment process.
My wife and my daughter were chatting beside me.
A song started to play from roof speakers. Everyone in the room stopped talking and stood quietly.
The teacher who was talking to me used one hand to signal me to stop speaking.
I suddenly realized that the song was the Canada Nation Anthem.
I stood and listened.
But my wife and daughter did not realize the situation, they were still chatting.
I stopped them.
Now I know it’s a daily routine in schools, just like in China.
