It’s that time of year again when kids start whining, and parents are smiling. Teachers are fussing because of all the worthless hours of training that some politicians deem essential, and building contractors are apologizing for not finishing the construction of the new elementary school. Yup, it’s back-to-school time, and soon I won’t be able to turn left out of my driveway between the hours of 7 to 9 a.m.
Not all parents are happy about their children heading back to school so soon, especially after receiving the lengthy list of school supplies their little darlings will need this school year. I saw the list for children entering kindergarten and I was shocked! I reckon many of these items are essential, but does a 5-year-old really need composition books? When was the last time you read a novel written by someone who is still fascinated by boogers?
