These are wonderful photos (the one above and all the other ones today), but there is something abrupt about “ending” summer with the start of school before Labor Day. Is this really the most childhood- and family-friendly way for the school calendar to be? I don’t think so. Surely there can be a way to give back that extra week to children and families—if there is a will there will be a way.
Childhood flies so swiftly, summers too—and those are often the sweetest moments of childhood. Why the big rush? What’s it all about? Where is the poetry to our lives?
