POLL: What's The Toughest Part About Sending The Kids Back To School?

Cast your vote below, and tell us what challenges you face while getting your kids ready for the first day of school.

 

For most schools in the state, school begins this week. For students, that means waking up early and doing homework in the afternoon instead of playing or hanging out with friends. For parents, it presents a whole other set of challenges that range from buying new school supplies and clothes to adjusting work schedules in order to get kids to class and afterschool activities.

In the Patch poll below, we're asking parents what their biggest challenges are - or if theyre unphased by the entire yearly ritual.
