The School for Good Mothers

The story raises questions about society's expectations of mothers and the consequences of surveillance. I'm curious what personal or societal issues influenced this theme.

The school's rigid rules and judgmental environment made me anxious, almost more than the external world. Were others disturbed by how normalized this control felt?

It’s hard not to sympathize with the mother’s struggles, but the story also critiques the very system that enforces those struggles. Did this nuance come through clearly for others?
