Don't you hate...

"They grow up so quickly. It seems like only yesterday that he was in the third grade. Wait, it was yesterday!"

"The problem with online schooling is I can't get help from Mom and Dad!"

'By the second week of instruction all first-graders should be able to count to one.'

"Exactly how long were you home schooled?"

'Do I have to enter a plea?'

'Talk about being scared straight...I just found out that being held back a grade is not an urban myth.'

'You are new here, aren't you?'

'I guess my love for Miss Rogers is over...I passed third grade.'

'Holly, listen to me. This school year is important. . . It's your last year before high school! You have to prepare! High school is a whole new ball game.'

'Listen to this school supplies list for Timmy next year!. . . Graphing calculator, chemistry goggles, lacrosse shin guards and an ipad.'

'I'm under a lot of peer pressure!'

"Just think, next year I'll be in fourth grade. I'm really going to miss the third grade...but going to the fourth grade is a wise career move for me."

"He says he's fed up of school."
