Why Female Teachers Were Banned Beyond the School Gates

I had been the principal of this rural school for ten years, enforcing the rules without exception.

In all that time, not a single female volunteer teacher had dared to leave campus without permission.

Except for these two.

This year’s pair tried everything they could think of to sneak out.

The first time, they dismantled a security camera and climbed over the wall, only to be caught by me during a patrol.

The second time, they hid inside a garbage truck, but my guard dog sniffed them out.
