What's Your Back-to-School Story?

Back-to-School means a lot of different things for different people. Sharing your experiences from around this time of year – whether you be a current or former student, a parent, educator, administrator, or even a homeowner (in many municipalities property taxes dictate school budgets) – gives you the ability to better understand the impact these experiences have on you. Story sharing also provides a context for better understanding your current needs and values, and provides a context for relating with other people. What’s your back-to-school story?
