The Worst Things About Kids Going Back To School Are...

Mentor residents weigh in.

We all know kids dread the end of summer freedom, pool days and weeknight sleepovers. 

But, apparently, parents dread the first day of school, too.

We asked Mentor Patch's Facebook fans what the worst part about kids heading back to school is, and they had a lot to say.

Many complaints were about traffic and school zones.
