The Goderich Signal-Star, 1982-09-01, Page 71 Going ack to school - 'it's boring, boring' Clockwise from left Mark Baruma, Brian and Bradley Hutchins - 'just terrible' By T.Marr September 7 is quickly approaching and for many adults it will just be another Tuesday; a day that isn't much different from any other. But for kids all across Canada, September 7 is very important. The day marks the end of carefree summer days and the start of a new school year. This year, just like every other year, there are kids who are dreading not only the first 'day but the whole school year. Brian Hutchins, who will be entering Grade 6 at Victoria Public School, is one of those kids. The idea of another year of looking at classroom walls does not please the 11 -year-old. "I think it's just terrible,". he says. Then he explains, "I'm looking forward to going into, a different grade but I know what it will be like. At the start of last year it was fun, then I hated it. The start is okay, then in the middle it gets boring, boring, boring." He adds, "There is too much homework too." Third grader Mark Baruma who -is, "seven -and - a -half but I will be eight tomorrow" agrees with Brian. "I think it's terrible too. Just like Brian says, it is boring." Brian's five-year-old brother Bradley does not agree with his sibling's opinion. He says, "T like school 'cause I want to go to Grade 1." He admits that he enjoyed kindergarten because, "I i idn't. _tiewe _ to do -a--whole bunch of stuff." But he adds, "We only got to play for an After his brother explained to him that kids in Grade 1 can only play at recess, Bradley screwed up hisface and .said; "That's jay, just. like a rotten egg."

In the summer ,I played soccer and baseball and for the next two weeks I'm going to hockey school in Clinton. I would rather be playing soccer or baseball than going to school." . Itis not only the boys who are not too enthused about returning to school. Fifteen - year -old Jennifer Dobie says, "I'm not too happy about it really. .I would rather be doing nothing than going to school because it's boring." Seventh grader Jennifer Hosack agrees. She says, "I'm not really too stuck on It. It's boring." Just as there are kids who do not want to go back to school, there are also those who do. Tanya Glousher, who will be starting Grade 3 at Vic- toria iatoria Public School says, "I can hardly wait. I like it 'cause sometimes when you are home there isn't much to do and when you are at school you can work and learn about things." Tanya's six-year-old sister Aleshea is also looking,, forward to school but for a different 'reason. She says she wants to return "because there's stuff to play on." Ten -year-old Katie Waters is looking forward to the start of the school year because, "I. miss my friends and teachers. I also miss the tests and gym class. I really \like those." o Perhaps Katie's 11 -year- old sister Heather stens it up best for both the kids who dislike school and those who love it. As she explains the whole experience, "In a way I'm really looking forward to it. I want to see my friends because I have missed them but ,I really don't want, to get back to all the; work."
