Where I used to live (Roanoke Rapids, NC) they've always gone back by at least early to mid August...now down here in Raleigh many kids go to school year-round.

Bill, that is when kids should go back to school. August 6th is on a Friday. I used to get a good three months for summer off. Now these kids only have 2 months.

Amanzi.. I feel bad for you about your child starting kindergarten.. I'm sure that will be an emotional day for both you and the child..

Be strong and remember.. cherish the memories of the child's 13 years of school {K-12}.. they may go quicker than you think :wink:

Yeah hopefully it doesn't change here either. They have been threatening, lengthened school years or even all year round for awhile. but atleast somebady has the common sense in PA to give the kids a break. I think I go back to college the 23rd. I'll be honest, I can't wait to go back to school.

No threats of that here yet. I am sure it is coming though like everything else.

My son starts college on the 23rd too. He is excited because this will be his first year. The young children should be allowed a longer summer. Alot of parents are not able to take their vacations in June or July. And when they finally get to in August to spend time with their children, poof school starts.

We start back on August 5th but we get out of school around May 9th. They have really screwed up the schedule here in Florida.
