Whos ready

[judylucas]

I'm retired so school starting doesn't affect me but grandkids haven't started yet

Oh yeah, school starts on the 21st. here, I don't have any children but hubby is a sub. He already has to work the first day of school. I am so looking forward to the days he goes back, I seem to get 3 times as much done when he is  working.  And the TV goes off, radio comes on and  I get busy.  Of course I will still be doing my  volunteer work.

School started here last week. It was nice to see the buses going again and the kids off to school.

School doesn't start here until after Labor Day.  I no longer have kids in school, but when we did i liked it when they started school after Labor Day.  I love summer time so much that I hate to see the kids go back in August. 

Our kids were in 4-H so they were busy with Fair too so starting school later was a plus.
Once the kids were in high school sports or music, then those extra-curricular activities started in mid August for practice.

The local schools here are not scheduled to start till Sept. 11th since new schools are being built and, of course they are running behind finishing them.  Its ridiculous how much money is being spent on these new schools but no mention of improving the education kids are receiving.

I think next week.  No young ones here.

Will be glad...too many kids riding bikes and skateboards who dart out between cars and they are suddenly in front of you.

They are not looking, assuming all will be well. What happened to teaching kids this.

One day though, I stopped at a stop sign early while two very young boys were running barefooted across the street to a park.

They turned and said "Thank you!" and waved, knowing I had stopped early for them. That is just way too rare!

Yes, let's get school started. Then we only have adults on bikes (and we have many here) to be concerned about, and they are just as reckless.

My neighbor kids are shopping today school starts Monday here !

My daughter started school yesterday. We are outside of Denver and the different school districts stagger the starts of when kids go back. I think the last of them go back on Monday.

I am so glad I don't have to worry about that anymore. I can't believe it is that time already again. I almost forgot.

Some schools start in August and some schools start after Labor Day in September.

[yisa]

School is just around the corner where I live. and yes we are ready.

[tnshpalmer85]

School already started where I live and I was looking forward to it and I think the kids were too. After a while you need a break from your family members and school helps with that.

i have no kids so it doesnt matter but it does mean watching more for kids

[autumnsparklemom]

School started for my kids back at the beginning of August.

School starts the day after Labor Day in our town.  I'm ready.
