I heard that there is a bill up for vote in Texas to have school start after Labor Day. Apparently, the tourism industry has been hard-hit by school starting early.

I guess it has a lot to do with when we went to school.

From the time I can remember we always started the Tuesday after Labor Day and got out on Flag Day (June 14th).

We always had these days off, Columbus Day, Veterans Day, Thanksgiving Day and the day after, Christmas week (till the day after New Year's Day), George Washington and Abe Lincolns Birthday, (that has been taken away and now we get Presidents Day and MLKing Day instead), the Holy Days of Easter, and Memorial Day.

Other states have passed their bills dealing with this situation. In North Carolina, it has to be after August 25th, and in Wisconsin, school cannot start earlier than 1st of Septemeber.
