[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Because otherwise, the kids were in school until June 23rd or later. Who wants to be in school at that late date? My niece and nephew in the Silicon Valley in California went to back to school this past Monday, August 13. An August 28 start isn't that bad.[/quote] Missouri starts this week and gets out before Memorial Day (usually 1 week before). Kansas too. Texas starts around the 3rd week of August (20 something) and gets out the week before Memorial day. California too. It just makes so much sense to go back to school in August and get out earlier. This region is so backwards about the school calendar.[/quote] I have friends/family back in the midwest (Iowa/Kansas) and the HS kids literally take the AP exams in mid May and graduation is like May 15th!. We always took the standardized test in March, so we weren't waiting to do that. I know that Maryland has their standardized test in March as well. [/quote]
