[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]21:35 listed good reasons for starting before Labor Day. The most repeated reason for not starting before Labor Day was cheaper rates at the beach because other school systems started earlier. Another reason was traditional family plans for Labor Day. I think 21:35's list is more substantial. To me, late June was ridiculous for getting out of school. Ideally, to me, school should start after Labor Day and end Memorial Day.[/quote] The way to solve this problem would be to make winter break one week instead of two. No-one needs two weeks off for Christmas.[/quote] The teacher contract is 14 days longer than the student calendar. 6 of those days fall within the student calendar, so that lengthens it a bit too.[/quote]
