Teachers are notoriously underpaid and overworked despite being such a crucial occupation. They are responsible for the education of millions of people regardless of age or maturity. They are entrusted to take care of children when parents are unable to, and they are expected to provide the best education for their students. Even when they are off the clock, teachers are still working. They grade, they plan, and they care.
Students never really think about what goes on in their teachers' lives. They do not spare a single thought about it, and they are shocked when they see that their teachers have lives outside of the classroom and the school. For students, when passing periods come, it just means that they have five minutes to go from one class to another.
It was different for teachers. Passing periods were their five minutes of calm, and it gave them brief time to decompress and catch a breather.
At Astrarium Institution, teachers are properly paid for the work they have to carry. The institution had long passing periods to compensate for how vast the school was. It was practically a college with its layout, but the high school was known for dominating sports, fine arts, and academics. Their success as a school would not be achievable without their faculty's impact on the students.
For the teachers at Astrarium, passing periods gave a glimpse into their lives.
