The bittersweet experience of sending kids back to school holds insights for work
From the first teary good-bye we say to our children as they walk into kindergarten to the good luck we wish them when they go off to college, the experience doesn’t get any easier. They go into the world and we hope the world will be good to them—and we hope they will also be good to it. It is bittersweet. But life goes on and we start work again on Monday .
In addition, when we return to work on Monday , we’re reminded about the constancy of work and its place in structuring our lives. Work and school bring rhythm to our lives. The pattern of Monday through Friday and eight to five—the ebb and flow of our families’ activities throughout the seasons—becomes a way of navigating time.
