The Most Frustrating Things About Back-to-School Season in Connecticut

We posted this question on the i95 FB page, "What is the most frustrating thing about 'Back-to-School?'"

When my three kids were in school between 1984 through 2006, my common frustration was trying to help them with their homework as they reached middle and high school age and not knowing how. Another frustration was not understanding why there were no high school courses offered that taught the basic living skills that young adults needed to know like finance, savings, understanding what credit was and how to obtain it.
