A
It is back to school time in the United States, which for children is bittersweet. The bitter part is saying goodbye to carefree（无忧无虑）, unscheduled summer days. The sweet part is saying hello to a new school year and school friends. This exciting time is filled with smells of new books, paper and pencils. Children might be dressed in a new set of clothes and wear new shoes. However, going back to school can also be a stressful time for children and families. Everyone must make the change from easy summer life to routines, schedules and homework. Families might also feel stressed about spending extra money for a new school year. Back-to-school stress is different for different grades of students. Younger children may feel scared to leave their families. Making new friends and dealing with bullying（欺负）can also cause stress for students. Older students may feel stressed about their appearances, grades and getting into college. However, teachers and children can all help to make the transition（转变）back to school easier. Lori Bambina has been a teacher for 22 years. She focuses on the class routine during the start of the new school year. "Well, for the students, I have my classroom set up with a very clear system. First I will introduce the system. Then I will revisit the system because at this young age they enjoy structure and predictability. And that routine is very comforting and will not cause them to feel stressed if they know exactly where things are located and what type of behavior is expected. That really reduces the stress and the anxiety because they have their own comfort level now," she said. Whether you are in the 1st grade or 10th grade, knowing what your teachers expect is a good way to reduce stress.
