Back to school!?!?!

[norsegirl]

The back to school commercials have already started. In fact I think they started a few weeks ago. REALLY!?!?! Do we really need to talk back to school the second the kids start Summer vacation? It's like having Christmas stuff in the stores before Hallowe'en. It bugs me how our advertisers are trying to push us into a culture of always looking forward and never enjoying the present moment.

I agree!!!

However, I think that kids in the states go back to school earlier than kids in Canada do.

Mind you this is the first year in my life as a student or a teacher that I've had to go back to school *before* Labour Day - crazy.

Doesn't school start in about two or three weeks in the south?

The year I went to school in Kansas it was cool that we got out in May, but I was I little annoyed about having to start in August. My Ontario brain was firmly wired to "school start after Labour Day."
