[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I much prefer Arlington's choice to open after Labor Day. The work schedule in DC is somewhat unique, in that business really dies down in August - it's much easier to get time off at the end of August than end of June. [/quote] Don't kid yourself. People who are upset are upset because of swim team and the pools. They don't care about the academic advantages and are grasping at straws to argue their point.[/quote] NP, but if the overall amount of time spent in school is the same, there is no logical reason why the academic outcomes would be better if you start one week later or earlier. If you are arguing to lengthen the school year, that may hold water. But the week that you start? Has no bearing on outcomes. [/quote]
