Seems like we are just waiting around while everyone else goes back to school.
We live in Fairfax County, VA. The "whole mood of the country" does not travel airborne, does the mood in Wisconsin bother you right now? What about the mood in Florida? New Mexico? Hawaii???
The "mood of the country" refers to places near and far -- i.e. Arlington, Montgomery, all of my relatives in other states (including Florida and the midwest), all of the national commercials (both print and television), all of the parochial schools in this are, etc. etc. The majority of the US will be starting in late Aug. We will be waiting until Sept. 8th. It's oddly late. By that time, "back to school" is no longer on anyone's mind. They are all collectively thinking harvest and fall... the bus has left the station (literally).
Well, since there are commercials and advertisements, then we should move the start date earlier! What kind of logic is that???
Retailers want you spending money!!! In stores I see Halloween declarations in August and Christmas decorations in October. Should we move those holidays to earlier dates as well???

In the draft calendar, Arlington will start Sept 8 as well. Won't most of VA?
Yes Arlington starts after Labor Day, too. As for commercials, I feel like I start seeing those in July for back to school so that seems early for everyone!
