Back To School News

Education Education Latest News,Education Education Headlines

Back to school looks very different for our big-sized kids, but there are still must-have items and things to consider when you have a kiddo heading off for dorm room living.

Having six kids close in age meant that for a long time, “Back to School” involved purchasing countless little backpacks, pencil crayons, safety scissors, easy-to-open lunch containers, new shoes and uniforms. I did a lot of shopping, organizing all the items I purchased for my crew of elementary school aged school-aged kids.

Fast forward a few years, and I am now preparing to send my fifth child off to college. I have now acquired a lot of experience with birds leaving the nest as they embark on their post-secondary education. Upon high school graduation, my teens have always gone off to a traditional residence hall style in a double room with a roommate who is a stranger. For kids in a family of our size, they found only having to share a room with one other person quite civilized. With social media and all the apps available now, kids can often connect with their future roommates prior to moving in, which is helpful when deciding who is bringing what. You certainly don’t need two of everything in those small rooms.
