[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would hate for school to start before Labor Day. You also have to remember that teachers return to school at least a week before school opens. Making school start before Labor day also cuts their summer very short. I feel bad for public school teachers. [/quote] Summer is a minimum of 10 weeks long. Longer in some areas. What else is there to do that you can't get done in that amount of time? I think summer should actually be shorter (less academic loss and less need for childcare while still allowing for camp/sports/travel for those wanting that) with more breaks throughout the year (where students could get "brain breaks" and adults could take advantage of cheaper travel) [/quote]
