This question is from the poem “The Flower School” by Rabindranath Tagore. The speaker feels that the flowers attend a school underground, which is why they cannot be seen all year through. The flowers show up only when it rains. That is when it is recess or break time in the school. Just like the children can come out of their classes only during the break, the flowers are also subject to restrictions.
Given this background, schooling does not come across as a very positive experience. It is more of a restrictive environment. Also, underground means dark and suffocating. This imagery suggests that the poet feels that the educational system needs to be more fun and less restricting.
