[quote=Anonymous]Over the course of two years, my DD's public school system shifted our schedule from (a) start the Tuesday after Labor Day and end mid/late June to schedule (b) start second to last week of August and end early June. I much prefer schedule (b), the earlier start, for many reasons: 1) Schedule (b) is better for travel, vacation, and local summer leisure activities because June has better weather than August 2) It's easier for high school kids to get a summer job on schedule (b) 3) Schedule (b) aligns with a lot more camps' schedules (this one is particularly helpful for working parents) 4) Schedule (b) aligns with a lot more local pool schedules 5) Schedule (a) puts high schoolers taking AP exams at a disadvantage in terms of time to prepare for the exams 6) Schedule (b) results in the end of grading periods naturally aligning with the start of winter and spring breaks, so that kids are not studying during those breaks[/quote]
