The kids get back from a long spring break and wonder, \u201cwhy in the hell I am going to school again?\u201d The days get longer, kids want to stay outside later and up at night longer. Kids have been at full go all year, and their minds are fried. \u201cI just want it to end,\u201d said third grader Jackson Meehan of Isabella Bird. \u201cTwo months seems like a really long time left. Are there any more breaks?\u201d Westerly Creek 2nd grader Ella Crowley shares the same sentiment. \u201cI think we\u2019ve learned enough for one year,\u201d said Crowley. \u201cI\u2019m reading, doing my math, what else do they want? Enough is enough.\u201d Anyone who drops their kids off at school can see the lack of motivation in the students\u2019 eyes. But it\u2019s not just the students. The teachers are spent as well. \u201cI don\u2019t have much left in the tank,\u201d said a first grade teacher on the condition of anonymity. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThis is the reason we have movie days, field days, field trips and everything else these last two months of school. The teachers don\u2019t want to be here any more than the students do.\u201d Another area teacher is in complete agreement, who also chose to not be mentioned by name. \u201cYou come with your \u2018A\u2019 game every day. You can\u2019t take days off like people in the cubicle and office world do. We have to come ready and with energy every day. It\u2019s a long season, and teachers are pretty run down this time of year.\u201d Parents also want the school year to an end. \u201cMaking lunches, drop off and pick up, making sure they are doing homework, getting them to activities, and on and on. It\u2019s just a pain in the ass,\u201d said Swigert parent Nikki Bidler. \u201cI\u2019m just looking forward to having a little more lax of a schedule.\u201d Bill Roberts mom Holly Travillian is excited to not have to run out the door every morning. \u201cThis routine is getting pretty tiresome. It\u2019s like Groundhog Day. I know I will be sick of the kids two weeks after school is out, but right now, I\u2019m sick of the school routine.\u201d Well, in two months it will be all over. Then, we start a new routine everyone will be sick of in one month.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\t\t\t\t<![CDATA[]]>\t\t<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_coblocks_attr":"","_coblocks_dimensions":"","_coblocks_responsive_height":"","_coblocks_accordion_ie_support":"","_genesis_hide_title":false,"_genesis_hide_breadcrumbs":false,"_genesis_hide_singular_image":false,"_genesis_hide_footer_widgets":false,"_genesis_custom_body_class":"","_genesis_custom_post_class":"","_genesis_layout":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[55],"tags":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-6926","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","6":"category-issue-145","7":"entry"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/stapletonion.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6926","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/stapletonion.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/stapletonion.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stapletonion.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stapletonion.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=6926"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/stapletonion.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6926\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":7999,"href":"https:\/\/stapletonion.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6926\/revisions\/7999"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/stapletonion.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=6926"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stapletonion.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=6926"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stapletonion.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=6926"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
