Perfect7 Posted August 20, 2011 Report Posted August 20, 2011 It has begun here, both for the public schools and for my homeschool. How about in your area? I know there are still a few rare schools that start after Labor Day, but I think they are few and far between.
spacelover8126 Posted August 20, 2011 Report Posted August 20, 2011 Our county started school on the 10th. We tend to do well on standardized tests so we get the option of starting a week earlier than the other counties. This makes no sense to me; the schools that fare worse need more time.
Silva Posted August 20, 2011 Report Posted August 20, 2011 Here in England the schools are closed for Summer between the end of July and the beginning of September. It's too long in my opinion and even the children get bored long before they have to go back!
Marisa Posted September 6, 2011 Report Posted September 6, 2011 My kids go back tomorrow, the day after Labor Day. This year is tough for me because my "baby" is starting kindergarten and it's making me a little more sad than usual. I think there will be a few tears at the bus stop tomorrow.
