“Back to school, back to school, to prove to Dad that I’m not a fool. I got my lunch packed up, my boots tied tight, I hope I don’t get in a fight. Ohhhh, back to school. Back to school. Back to school. Well, here goes nothing.” Famous words Adam Sandler spoke in Billy Madison. For Billy, school was tough even as an adult. Imagine being an actual kid. These kids show you firsthand what school is like these days in adorable before and after photos!
1) The Alpha
The image that inspired millions, Little Lucie. “She absolutely loves school and this was her first day in P2 so she absolutely loved having her new things on,” Jill, her mother, said. In fact, Jill had to sneak the second picture, knowing Lucie would refuse one.
Young Charlie was rather upset summer was over, but she was all ready to go to school the day before. However, whenever she arrived home, she looked like she was missing summer again. “That’s about how my girls hair looked after biking home!” One IG follower stated.
Thatcher was just exhausted after his day of school. He couldn’t even stay away to listen to his mommy ask him how his day was! Good thing daddy is always up for a quick lunch!
This is one time where a kid actually may look better after school than before school. Isaiah looks like he had a good day at school, but man was it hot out!
These sisters love studying at their pentacostal school, but school is always tough! Nothing a good nap won’t fix. Makes you wish you had a sister as close as this one.
“I’m Emerson and it’s my first day of First Grade,” the Parks girl tells Instagram. “I’ll tell you how it goes.” Well, I think we can see that for ourselves. What a knockout!
The first day of school for Lucy is even more special than those of other little girls. Lucy was born with a special eXtra chromosome. But that didn’t stop her from going to school just like everyone else.
Madalyn Marie and Lucy Layne ares bestest sisters and bestest friends! That’s why they decided that thought they didn’t go to the same class, they’d hang out after school. That’s the best way too!
Padme had an awesome day at her school! Though her hair may be a mess, her bindi is still in place and her smile is even bigger! What a champ this girl is. But with a name like Padme, we would expect nothing less.
Here’s another girl that take whatever life hands her. “Your shoes are on the wrong feet,'” her mum asked, and she said, “But I had a great day today mummy.” Guess that’s all that matters.
Lucy Layne here again excited to start kindergarten. But, she couldn’t even wait until her mom picked her up to hit the hay. Guess sequins aren’t all that bad after all.
“It was itching, so I took it out,” this little girl told her mother when asked what happened to her beautiful hair at school. That poor mother spent all morning getting that hair just right, expecting it to stay in place for days.
One of the most popular before and after school photos going around, this sweet girl looks like she was gone for 50 years. Who knew school was that hard these days?
Pre-K shouldn’t be that rough, but according to Sophia, it is! Thankfully, she’s two years older now and taking her studies much better. Ah, the perks of 1st grade.
As it turns out, almost every little girl comes home from school without the pretty bow they had in that morning. It’s always the first thing to go when things at school get serious.
You’ll always ahve the kids that are forever ecstatic no matter how hard their day was. Then there are the kids that break at the first sign of pressure. We love them both and the world needs them all!
Getting up and going to work isn’t all that bad. But after the day puts you through the ringer, you’re not the chipper caffeinated being you were hours before. This poor kid knows that better than anyone.
Has one kid ever looked more confused to see her mother than this girl here? You’d think she hadn’t seen her just hours before. Oh yeah, and did I mention that bow? Gone!
“Back in my day, we walked twenty miles to school each morning,” this little girl looks like she’s saying. She has been through a lot and is now blessed with wisdom to pass on to generations and generations to come.
These two siblings are in the same boat. Even with crayons, Coke, and the prospect of pizza, they just can’t get out of their funk. Now that is one hard day. If your kid acts like this after their day, you might want to change schools.
This little pumpkin had the sweetest smile on her first day of school. But how long did it last? All we know is that she is looking rough at the end of the day. The sweetie must have been through a lot.
Who loses their shoes at school? Especially when those shoes are Native Kids Croc-like sneaks! Someone who hits the pavement (without) running the second that bell rings. Ah, it’s good to be home. Wait…what?
This little Trindad angel was more than ready to start the school year. But by the end of the day, a nap was much needed. You can’t win them all. Just looking at the kid makes me want to snooze.
First day of kindergarten never looked so good. That is, until you skip naptime and sorely regret it. But then again, those exhaustion naps are the best. Wake up for dinner and you’re feeling oh so good.
This gal was so proud of her before-school picture. But afterwards? Her dad just wouldn’t give it a rest. Always taking pictures when all she wanted was a nap. Wait, is she taking one right now?
One Redditor says it best, “When I started school I apparently liked the first day. The next day, when my mom came to get me up and ready for school I supposedly said ‘No, I already did that.’ I imagine i looked similar to that kid.”
No matter how much you love school, there will be days when you just want to run away and hide. Can we all agree toinstall cubbies in our rooms for days like these?
Lady in red is red seeing just how chipper everyone else is after her day of kindergarten. Taking pictures at a time like this? What is wrong with adults these days? Can’t give you a break for two seconds.
I’m pretty sure this kid had a great day with his mascot scient teacher who happens to be a lion. But that doesn’t mean things weren’t rough. I mean, that’s the only explanation for Little Mr. Tapeface over here.
