I was talking with two parents the other day about their back-to-school preparations. One is sending her older child to kindergarten and her younger one to preschool this year. She said filling out all of the paperwork and schlepping around to obtain the exact supplies specified (36 bottles of glue!) reminds her of the stress of her college days: "You'd start looking at all the syllabuses and just go, 'Oh my God!'"
A more seasoned dad, with two kids at Hillendale Elementary, counseled her that it's easier all around just to order the prepackaged school supplies box offered by the PTO.
