I feel so bad for kids these days, with the school year starting earlier and ending later. This was happening when my son was in school, thirty years ago.
Sending kids back to that prison-like environment, sticking them into a classroom to listen to some teacher drone on and on about really boring stuff, and then when they leave the classroom, the bigger kids bully the smaller kids, with detrimental effect on both sides... it’s awful. School is such a horrible environment, it is institutionalized child abuse, as far as I am concerned.
Is it time to homeschool, yet?
