Last Day of School | Pad Patter June 9

I hated the last day of school and loved the back to school.
Three strong willed kids getting bored at home was really hard on me.
Glad that they're grown up now.

 

I love the last day of the school year. Our schools don't close for another 6 weeks yet though.

 

Last day of school in Belgium is June 30th ... when I was still working for me this meant 2 more days to finish school administration and then more than 6 weeks of vacation ...

 

I am definitely in the first group... happy to have the end of the year. I only have one left in high school, but he struggles with some of his classes and needs help with homework sometimes still, and then there's the major chore of getting him to actually wake up in the morning too! He's thrilled that today is his last day! Which is totally weird too though because after today, that means he's a senior! Yikes!

 

I'm a teacher, so definitely the first one
By the end of summer, I'm usually at least a little ready for some routine again. But, I'm not sure how I'll feel this year since the last one graduated.

 

I homeschool my 3 youngest so I’m definitely the first one! We were all so ready for summer break. Of course, part of my summer will be used for researching and ordering stuff for the coming school year. It’s crazy because I spend about the last 2 months of the school year so ready for the structure and schedule to end but then after a month of summer break I find myself looking forward to structure and a schedule again.

 

We homeschooled (unschooled, really) all year, so the exciting thing about the beginning of summer had nothing to do with school but the warmer longer days and fun activities we could do.

 

Homeschooler here too! I'm a little bit of both. We do more year-round schooling but are more relaxed during the summer. I still need some structure in the summer...and it's not as hard to get back into a routine in the fall.

 

Honestly, I'm a bit in the middle. Our last day isn't until this coming Friday, so I have a week to get 'ready' but like you, mine are older- 12 & 15. I'm looking forward to having them home, as I can make them do more chores in the daytime to help me out. I'm NOT looking forward to the arguments about screen time/video games...

 

I was always happy for the last day of school … no fighting with my kids/grandkids to do their school/home work.

Youngest grandson graduated last week, so school’s out forever … unless I decide to take a class at the local community college.

 

It’s so crazy but this was exactly part of the reason I started homeschooling. My oldest 2 went to and graduated from our local private school and I got so tired of getting the worst part of them. They would come home so tired and with major attitudes after being around their peers all day. My 3 children I homeschool are definitely not perfect and have bad days and bad attitudes just like my older 2 that were not homeschooled but there is definitely a huge difference in what we deal with. It’s been worth every sacrifice for that reason alone.

 

I really like history, so it would probably be another history class ... maybe world civ or the English kings? I'm maxed out on US and Virginia history classes.

 

We are still in session until Tuesday. My oldest Graduates! Since they are older, I'm more A.... less little stuff to worry about!
