[quote=Anonymous]As a public high school teacher, I love the after Labor Day start to the school year. Whereas it usually takes my students a couple of weeks to exit summer mode, this year they came into the classroom with a different attitude. They had enjoyed a full summer and it seemed natural and appropriate to get down to fall business after Labor Day. I felt the same way, as did my own kids. Now I look forward to a school year where we are finally seeing our students for full five day weeks most of the time. I can plan and teach without the constant disruption of single days off here and there. I know others have posted that they enjoy having many single days off throughout the year to provide breaks for kids, but as a teacher I find these days to be very disruptive to the learning process. I'd much rather review a bit with students after a long summer and then take off on my curriculum than to deal with constant disruptions throughout the year.[/quote]
