I’m glad the con of “back to school” will only be one more year after this one.


Edit: and I won’t have to buy boots unless his feet grow, so there’s that :thumb:

Why back to school shop at all? Just make your kid wear the shit he had last year.

about 10 years ago, we had to make up a day (large public school) it cost about 1 million to run busses, pay drivers, custodians and EA's.

I am not agreeing or disagreeing with anything.

I do get mad when schools think they save money by shutting off AC/heat overnight. Last school-would run a chiller from 7:40-2:30.
It would take SO LONG to cool off the building the next day, and just when it gets comfortable, off goes the AC. I dont see how it saves money, when it is running full blast all of the other times.

Yeah, not excited… at this point I just hope he stays close to home when college happens.

If I'm paying, my son will go to a state school unless he can otherwise get a private or out of state school paid for with scholarships. There are plenty of wonderful state options here and there is no reason to go elsewhere.
