The Last Days of Summer and Back to School | KnockBack: The Retro and Nostalgia Podcast Episode 184

The summer is all fun and games, but 'back to school' always looms on the horizon. The further we get into the dog days, the closer we get to the next grade, and it's those weeks -- usually in August, but sometimes in July or stretching into September -- that are our focus during this episode. What was our routine? Were we excited to go clothes shopping? To get school supplies? To find out who our teachers are? Or did we dread returning to the classroom, and do everything we could to avoid the harsh reality of childhood education? People were usually one way or the other, and sometimes they vacillated between the two. As for us? Well... let's just say we really loved our Star Wars and GI Joe lunchboxes, and begin there.

Having gone to 12 schools across the country until graduating, the outfit planning before the first day of school rung so true to me! Always got so excited about the 'new year new me' feeling.

Those "ooh's" from Colin made me laugh so much, especially when he knew he overstepped that last one. 😅

We always contributed supplies to the school (box of tissues and roll of paper towels) and I am born in 1994. And I went to a good public school in NYC

Loved this episode. Laughed so hard at the talk of buying supplies you never end up using like the protractor! and might I say, Dagan's looking mighty handsome with the beard

I still have dreams where I'm late for school or I don't have my schedule or went to the wrong class. I'm 36 and everyone I talked to at work up to age 42 still has these dreams... so weird.

It’s funny how the school experience is similar for everyone know matter where you are from. I am from the UK we would get 6 weeks off over the summer holidays we would break up in July then go back early September. The problem the kids now days over here have is not all the kids go back at the same time. For example my daughter goes back to school in 10 day time but some of her friends (same age) go to a different school so they have to go back in 5 days time. So you have friend groups that are off before or after each other which adds to the return to school drama 😂.

My sister Dana has three kids, and two of them have been back for like a week and a half, and another doesn't start until next week.

Oh so there isn’t much difference summer school holidays are similar know matter where your from. It’s kinda crazy when you think about it really different country’s but same sort of experiences.
