The girl leads her daughter to the first class.
The teacher’s birthday is in July. First day of class is September 1.

At a parental meeting, they asked to give money for a gift to the first teacher. When asked, “Have we not yet started learning?” they replied, “But you have already been appointed teachers.”

(Interestingly, and after the end of the 4th grade they will still be asked to give money for the next birthday of the teacher?)
