[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Most likely, but there are some in the BOE who would prefer a week earlier. That would be the 19th[/quote] That’s absurd. [/quote] A significant number of states start school early or mid-August and get out by Memorial Day. Academically it’s better. Kids really don’t learn much in June, and for high schools, an extra week of instruction before AP/IB testing would make a big difference. I hope they start earlier, and give a four day weekend for Labor Day.[/quote] I'm a teacher and agree these long breaks are not great. They are expensive too, as most families have to pay for camp and childcare. I'd rather more frequent breaks during the year and a shorter summer.[/quote]
