#195 August 15th Is the Best

2011-02-20 20:40

I could care less about all the breaks throughout the year. Have your kids get plenty of rest instead of staying up all hours of the night and they wont need breaks. My family enjoys having the longer summers. They dont get enough time during the summer. We take our vacations in August and it makes it hard for us to plan anything when they start school so dang early. I agree with another person, start school after labor day! What are these children going to do when they grow up, complain because they arent getting a week off every other month?!?! This is real life, we get no breaks!

I may not necessarily like the balanced calendar and favor an after Labor Day start just like you.  However, the point is, this balanced calendar was put in place for 3 years and should not have been changed!  This is not right, especially that it was changed in such a short notice (less than 6 months)!  I like to plan my work schedules and vacations ahead of time.
