The negative cartoons about going back to school surprise me. I always loved it, and September, not January, still seems like the start of a new year because of my school days.
How did you feeling about school starting again?
It’s not the kids who feel that way—it’s the teachers!
I imagine you are right about some of them! Grand Avenue does mention the teacher’s reaction, and this would have been a better cartoon if they did it from his perspective.
true. there was always a excitement to me and a little tinge of dread too.
it was always a new school. new people. new building to get used to.
I remember when I was quite small I came home and told Mother that the new school had no bathrooms! I never could find it.
good grief. talk about … well. I hardly no where to begin with that little girl.
why didn’t she ASK someone??? of course there wasn’t a single familiar face. I never knew I was that shy! no wonder I became too talkative as the years went by! LOL! at least I always knew where the bathroom was! LOL 😀
KNOW where to begin! better correct that error. teachers are probably reading this! lol
I didn’t even notice the typo, the meaning was quite clear. 🙂
That must have been hard to be in new surroundings so often.
I hated school.
Every. Single. Moment.
So yeah, totally agree with the cartoons.
That’s too bad! We spent so much time there. 🙁
I was usually glad to see a school year end, but by the end of summer I looked forward to school starting again. There was only one school I attended briefly that I disliked — the third one of the four I was in that year.
I felt the same way about school, eager for it to end in the summer, but excited to go back in the fall.
I distinctly remember looking forward to going back to school after vacations. Staying at home after a few days was inevitably boring!
Yes, same here. A few days off was great, then ….
Well, when I was at boarding school, I hated going back because the school was quite unsuited to my personality (sports and religion were a big thing) and because I was bullied for four years. I couldn’t wait to leave school and get my first job.
I would have hated boarding school too. Did anyone like it?
I loved to read and learned to do so quite young. The hardest part of school was being in a reading group when the teacher wouldn’t let me read instead of having to listen to the kids who struggled so. I got sent to sit in the cloakroom when I couldn’t keep from “helping”.
That would have been fine if they gave you a book to read! I too hated everyone taking turns reading out loud.
I loved going back to school every September. Growing up, my parents had enough saved for one one-week vacation. The rest of the time I read in the house or swam at the local pool. But I was bored. School was exciting to me – so much to learn! With good teachers and a curious brain, back-to-school is a fun phrase to many kids.
Yes, we were bored too!
