[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have friends in California that started school yesterday - so the trend overall is earlier start dates. [/quote] Wow that is nuts.[/quote] Not so nuts when summer vacation starts around Memorial Day. Kids are ready to learn and eager to get back to friends, sports and activities by mid August. They are ready to be done with school sometime around May. Ask any teacher which is a more productive month, the first month of school or the last month of school. 90 percent of them will say the last month of June school is a waste.[/quote] I always said the same thing in these calendar discussions -- time at the beginning of the year is more valuable than any time in June. And people always argue back that it's all the same... blah blah blah. Once JUNE hits on the calendar, kids/teachers are triggered for SUMMER Mindset. [/quote]
