School starts late this year in my neck of the woods. It doesn’t even start today. Nope, the first day is tomorrow. It used <\/em>to start today. By that I mean the day following Labor Day was always the first day of school, as far back as I can remember (ie. when I was in school).\u00a0However,\u00a0when Youngest Son was in grade 11 or grade 12, I think it was, the day after Labor Day became a Pro-Development day with school now starting the day after. This year, with school starting on the 9th, is the latest I can remember.<\/p>\n

While I no longer have kids in school, I still have one in university. Eldest Son. He begins his last year of his B.A. tomorrow. Youngest Son is taking a year off. He survived a challenging full slate of first year sciences this last year followed by an intense three-course summer session. Next year, the plan is he’ll enrol in university in another province, but for now\u00a0his brain needs a break.<\/p>\n

It’s kind of strange not to have both my kids enrolled in some form of education. Honestly, I feel Y.S. is cheating me out of harassing him about his studies. I can’t hassle E.S., because he’s away for the year and he has it too together, anyway. Not that Y.S. doesn’t<\/em> have it together, mind you. He definitely does, just in a different way.<\/p>\n

When does school start in your part of the world? Are your kids just going back, or have they been attending for weeks? I can not fathom kids in my area of B.C. attending school in August. It’s our hottest month. To me, September = Start of School. However, I guess when you live in an area where it’s always 80 Fahrenheit or higher, it doesn’t matter when<\/em> school starts, they’re gonna roast regardless.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
