The chief teacher of my youngest daughter visited my house today. My wife took a half day off and was home in the afternoon. The teacher took charge of her class this spring, so it was the first time for her to talk with him privately. He seemed to be a nice guy to talk to and seemed to look as if he had been around the block according to my wife.
My wife heard about the daily activities of my daughter in her school and felt relieved. My daughter seems to be doing fine and enjoying school life.
(Vocabulary)
around the block 〔長く生きて〕人生経験を積んで、酸いも甘いもかみ分けた
have been around the block 経験を積んでいる
