It happens every year. The last few weeks of school the kids are itching to be done. They are bored with school, tired of projects, papers & presentations, and want the freedom of sleeping in.
Their behavior usually gets bad so for us subs life is not so fun. We try to keep them focused but usually we just manage to squelch the chaos that they seek.
These students forget what summer is like. They don't see their friends every day. They can sleep in but then what. Boredom strikes and about a month to a month and a half in they have back to school-itis. They really like the structure of knowing what they day will look like and seeing their friends every day.
I enjoy the summer but like the kids I like knowing what the day looks like. I enjoy the interactions with people outside my home. I love the crisp fall weather. Gosh school isn't even out yet and I have back to school-itis. Life is grand!
