When do the kids in your area go back to school?

[Not_Giving_Up]

My kids go back a week from today...every year it inches back a little. Pretty soon, they'll start school in July!

[SmokingJacket]

1. Labor day, or right after.

Ack! Your kids must get out in MAY!

[Not_Giving_Up]

10. Yes, they do get out in May

They also get out for...

A week when the county fair comes to town (it's called Fall Break - October)

An entire week at Thanksgiving (Hey! We only got Thursday and Friday when I was a kid!)

Spring Break (one week)

Winter Break (two weeks for xmas and New Year's)

September 11 is an early dismissal day. They spend half the day singing patriotic songs, often required to wear certain colored shirts because they'll be forming a flag outside as they sing. :scared:


If they would cut out half of the breaks, they could start after Labor Day!

2. Two days ago.

The summer break keeps shrinking here (I'm in Georgia).

[Arugula Latte]

20. Holy crap!

That is early!

And in this heat?

[Spider Jerusalem]

22. Yeah.

Probably worse heat here, too...today's high was 88F, with a heat index of 95...makes me glad I'm not 15 years younger...heh.

as it should be IMHO

[GOPisEvil]

4. Aug. 16th, I think.

I don't pay attention to it much, but I seem to recall reading that on the school billboards here.

[Lady Effingbroke]

5. August 11/12, depending on the school district.

The kids here get out of school at the end of May.

8. My daughter's charter school starts on sept 1, which is so dumb

why make em go for two days at the end of a week???

[Not_Giving_Up]

11. I remember doing that as a kid too

My kids will go for three days the first week. I think they understand that it's a bitch to get them back into the routine. So, they go a few days, and get a break for the kids to recover.

[grannylib]

18. that's a good point. but i know i groused about it just like they do now!

i bet that's it though. break 'em in easy after a lazy summer!
