So there has been a pause? Did it end abruptly? Gradually? Did it start again abruptly? Gradually? Physical trait? Your name? Opinion? Being good or bad at something? |

Not school: kindergarden? Childhood? Spare time? Playgrounds? Homework? Teachers? Safety? Did your opinion change because something specific happened? If so did it happen to you? To someone you know? To someone relevant? Or is only the event itself relevant? |

Not school: kindergarden? Childhood? Spare time? Playgrounds? Homework? Teachers? Safety? No to these. School is relevant to the opinion, but the opinion is not actually about school. As far as school is relevant, it is everything from kindergarten to the end of secondary school Did your opinion change because something specific happened? Yes If so did it happen to you? This To someone you know? also this but irrel To someone relevant? Or is only the event itself relevant? It is relevant that it happened to me |

So, in childhood you had an opinion. Then the event happened that made you abruptly stop having that opinion. And today you have the same opinion. Is that correct so far? Did an event happen recently and cause you to return to the opinion? |

Sorry about the MLK reference, probably means nothing in England, but does the 'free at last' apply, so many graduating students say that without any understanding of the future. |

Are you teaching now? And, while discarding the opinion while you were yourself a student, you came at the conclusion that it was right, later on? (Long shot in the dark) Does the opinion concern: Relation with God? With family? Drugs? Alcohol? Manners of learning? Manners of spending your free time? Relations with colleagues? |

No, and 'free at last' is irrel Had you completed college at age 21? Yes (technically I am still at college but teaching for a year, but if I had graduated and become a teacher the puzzle would still work) Are you teaching now? And, while discarding the opinion while you were yourself a student, you came at the conclusion that it was right, later on? (Long shot in the dark) Yes, this is exactly right! Does the opinion concern: Relation with God? With family? Drugs? Alcohol? Manners of learning? Manners of spending your free time? Noish, no to all others Relations with colleagues? |

RECAP: Throughout my childhood, until I left school, I had a particular opinion. After leaving school and starting university, I no longer held this opinion. Now that I am (temporarily) out of university and teaching in a school, I hold the opinion again. The opinion is very slightly related to free time. HINT: The relevant opinion could be expressed as 'x makes me happy'. Think about how most children feel about school! |

Are you happy about snow? Are you happy if class is cancelled for some other reason? Do you gt happy when it's snowing a lot/predicted to snow a lot, because then class will be cancelled? And in between, you were unhappy because the inconvenience caused by lots of snow? Or indifferent since it didn't affect you much? |

And in between, you were unhappy because the inconvenience caused by lots of snow? Or indifferent since it didn't affect you much? Yep, this is enough for a spoiler I think! *****SPOILER***** When I was at school, I found snow really exciting because it often meant I got a day off school. Then when I went to university, it wasn't so exciting - I could skip classes whenever I wanted anyway without getting into trouble, and snow was inconvenient and stopped me getting around. But now that I'm teaching, a snow day is exciting once more, because it's a day off work! Thanks everyone who joined in & Galfisk for the solve! |
