Message: [QUOTE="Chin Diesel, post: 5062699, member: 34"] It's different in different parts of the country. Kids have been in school for over a week now throughout most of the South. A couple of reasons for it. First, it's hot as hades right now so putting the kids in an air conditioned school beats having them sit around inside the house all day. No one is doing outdoor activites in August. Secondly, hurricane season. Opposite of winter snow storms and classes being cancelled. Start early in the year and by the end of October you'll know whether any changes are needed to the school calendar for the year. Finally, and best of all, HS seniors are done with school by first week of May and everyone is done by Memorial Day weekend. You get Memorial Day and all of June and July off. [/QUOTE]
