Were You Ready to Go Back to School After the Summer? When summer was over, were you ready to go back to school? Have been seeing all of the school supplies now on the shelves, and my kids are grown, so just checked to see when school begins. Humble ISD starts on August 14th! When I taught school, we started right before Labor Day, had a short week, and then the kids were off for a 4 day holiday. Were you anxious to return to class; why or why not?

No, I never wanted to give up the freedom summer provided. We always got out of school right after Memorial Day and returned the day after Labor Day. July 15th always marked the beginning of the dreaded countdown. My home room teacher in 7th grade made it even worse. When the tardy bell rang the day of our return, the first thing she said was "That bell, boys and girls, marks the end of your summer vacation." Oh! Dagger to the heart!
Kittle and jv339 reacted I think the kids Knew summer was over :0 I liked going back to school to see friends I had not seen much of/at all, over the summer. Since it was hot well through September, we still swam in the pool, and went to the beach on the weekends
Of course we knew that summer was over but I didn't want to be reminded about it. The teacher should have welcomed us on a positive note.
I'm used to it starting after Labor Day as well! Mid August just seems too early! Especially since the promotion & ads are starting now!😱
peppermintstick and Kittle reacted Both the last day of the school year and the first day of the new school year were exciting. The in between months were not so exciting although, truth be told, I enjoyed school.

I agree; I always welcomed my students with a message that they were beginning a wonderful season, not "Goodbye" to a past one :0 I get tough love, but first day of class is not the time for that.
I liked school. But I would rather have the summer for reading.

I love our scattered week holidays so they help lesson the pain of school going back into session. Without those breaks, a resounding NO! Not ready to return!

I feel we are getting closer to an all year round schedule. New Caney ISD begins August 6th so it feels like its been a short summer. Although since it does stay warm thru October we will still be poolside in the evenings I'm sure!
No I hated school and did not want my summer to end. I still don't want my summer to end.
Usually I was ready to go back to school. Our school year started after Labor Day, plus our State Fair was held annually in our town, so It was the 'last hurrah' of summer.
