Yes I was wondering as to why school was starting so early, my wife(a 2nd grade teacher) and kids don’t go back until the 25th.
The NE ends their school year in mid June and start up again right after Labor Day.
The South finishes up their school year in mid May and start up in mid August.
Stopped reading this drek propaganda right here.
Best way I can think of to stay stupid -- Don't read something, but nevertheless promounce it "drek propoganda". If you believe that our teachers are so horrible, become one and do it the right way. I see now reason to reply to someone who doesn't have the foggiesst notion of what he/she/it is talking about (because he/she/it is tood dumb to read wht it's all about. Pleasse don't address me on this subject any further -- or at least read the article before you do, so that you might have something intelligent to say.
Many schools are going to a beginning of August start so that first semester ends before Christmas break. Our system is considering it also, partly because it would be so helpful for the standardized testing and college applications.

You’ve simply deflected from debating the issue by issuing a hollow challenge to become a teacher. If I thought that the government schools were beyond horrible, why would I want to waste even a minute of my time on such a lost cause?
Apparently, you believe that the government schools are not beyond horrible. Fair enough. Why are the government schools not beyond horrible? Are they merely horrible? Slightly less than horrible? Greatly less than horrible?
I retire from the Military in three years. I might go into "Troops to Teachers."
I had previously considered working for the bomb squad but I wanted to try something reckless and dangerous.
