My Best Tip for Back-to-School (even if you aren’t going or sending.)

First grade fifty-one years ago.

Here it is: My best tip for the upcoming school year. Hold on. Drum roll, please:

Take the First Day of School off Work!

Disclaimer: You probably can’t do this if you are a teacher, bus driver, principal, or school cook. But I suppose you could ask.
