Anyone else get sad and emotional on the last day of school?

I’m a teacher and even don’t like the end of the year…and most of my student didn’t either. School is where they see their friends, feel happy safe and loved.

We really need year round school!

Oh please. No we don't.

And for most kids, HOME is where they feel happy, safe and loved.

+1. I definitely don’t want year round school! I would probably move to private if that happened and we are not at all private school people!

But if you go year round, you’d have longer breaks at non-holiday times during the year. I’d love 2 weeks off in October! Or whatever the schedule would be.

Op, I get it. I definitely feel a little sad when the year is over, generally because they grow so fast! I can feel how fast it’s gonna go.

No way! to year round schools.

My kids do feel sad at the end of the school year because they enjoy it so much. (That is really a problem I cannot relate to.)

I’m only sad my kids are getting older. But I love that we don’t have as crazy a schedule, love spending summers adventuring with my guys.

True for some kids. Others love the time off, enjoying the beach and pool.

I encourage you leave your bubble. For the majority of children in the US, school is where they are fed, loved, and taken care of.

Yup, it's 6 weeks on, 1 week off.

You get a whole month in December.

You never get burned out, kids or teachers!

You get 6 weeks (usually June-July) in the summer, which is fine.

Not many. And with working families, most kids are either in day care or in front of a screen all summer or with a grandparent if the family can't afford camp.

Not really as they are going back next year. A break is due because school day is too long in US. Our school is only a mile away, but too far for me as I'm the one who has to drop them off.
We will be home doing nothing.

Yes many. Maybe not most. But many many kids are at home with a loving parent or caregiver and enjoying it.

American school summer vacations are way too long and there is not enough time off during the year. Uk is much better where you get 6-8 weeks during the summer then a break every 6 weeks

I get the existential sad feelings like something has passed that I wont get back.

But I also feel relief because my son doesnt like school (adhd and inability to sit still have squashed his joy of learning in that environment) and is a happier calmer person in summer months.

So I see both sides.
