2. August 10th. Teachers go back to work the week before at least.
Incidentally, what do you think of shortening summer vacation in general? I am for it. No other industrialized country has such an obscenely long summer vacation. I think 6 weeks would be enough, and then just have some longer breaks throughout the year (like, say, two weeks for spring break instead of one). Kids end up forgetting things in the summer and have to play catch up in the fall. Plus most parents work, so then they have to pay all this extra money for summer camps. It needs to go away. But it probably won't. As a SAHM, I am very excited for school to start up again. :)
