Man: I HATE scaring CHILDREN like THIS, but I've GOT to MAKE A LIVING!
Signs read: School is almost here! End of vacation sale! Back to school sale.
Window reads: FOOP'S CLOTHING.
Same here. But the signs say “… when children are present.” In some parts of the country, the signs have lights that flash when kids are coming to school, leaving school, or are at lunch and allowed to leave the school grounds.
I think shopkeepers enjoy those signs. Otherwise why not put “Stationery sale” or “School clothing sale”, which children wouldn’t even notice? It’s a cruel tradition.

My parents wished that my school year was a full year; then they did not have to pay for a sitter during the summer days.

Get Gracie from “Baldo” or Pasquale from “Rose is Rose;” they LOVE school…

If you see a child slow down.

When I was a kid, I liked going to the back to school sales. Most of our time was in the school supplies section, not clothing.
