Well, as we all know, it’s time once again to watch our children go off to school.  There are a lot of things to consider when trying to get the kids off to school, and there are many more ideas to write about going back to school.  The following are a few ideas you might use when writing about this annual event.

1.) Write a piece for parents who are getting ready to send their young ones off to school for the first time.  Explain a few of the things they might want to prepare themselves for, and how to handle them.  Discuss ways to make it easier for both the parent and the child, and maybe even some ideas on how teachers might help in the process.

2.) Review some of the latest clothing fashions coming out for the new school year.  Talk about the latest styles in shoes, name brand clothing, and where to find the best deals.  You might also write a report on how to find similar styles for a lesser cost.

3.) Write a report on the schools in your area.  Which ones are known for their academic achievements, or which ones have the best sportsmanship qualities from their athletes.  Discuss any private schools in your area and talk about the pros and cons of private schools.

4.) Write an article about why someone should or should not home school their children.  What are the good and bad points to the arguement, and what do the children get out of the equation?  Is it a good idea to home school a child and keep them apart from kids their own age?  Or, should a parent send their kids to a public school where they’re introduced to all the peer pressure and problems known to exist in our schools?

5.) Write an essay about your favorite teacher from your days in school.  Who was it that made your learning experience worth going back every day?  Did you have a certain counselor or teacher that you were sure was out to get you?  Give as much detail as possible and tell us about it.
