[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In my experience, APS doesn't teach anything in June, so we may as well end in May if we are starting mid-August. But my kid is a senior, so I can no longer get myself to care deeply about this stuff. Basically, though, they will not be learning anything as far as I can tell from here on out. Exams next week, then teachers are literally just filling time until the end of the year, which is a complete waste.

In contrast, my kid in Catholic school has exams literally on the last day of school, so will be learning right up until the end.[/quote]

My kids' HS ends Memorial day and starts second to last week in August.

They don't have all those miscellaneous holidays.  Only Columbus Day, Veterans Day, Presidents day, Winter break (it's been only 1-1.5 weeks) and a 10-day spring break.  Very few days off--so they have the full month of June, July and most of August off.

I much prefer this then all the random days my kids had off in APS.

If the county does this--you will start seeing summer camps follow the new schedule.  Right now my kids get a jump on summer jobs with everyone still in school until almost the end of June.[/quote]
