Going back to school too early?

kgwat70 @kgwat70 (13388) • United States 31 Aug 07

Do you think that schools should wait til after Labor Day before sending kids back to school? It does not make sense to start them just before the holiday and then have a few days off before going back to class. I do not like that...

66jerseygirl I don't think kids should go back to school so early. First of all,august is too hot for kids to be going to school. It doesnt' make sense to go to school for a week or 2 then have a holiday already

What is the traffic like in your area & city?

jennybianca @jennybianca (12912) • Australia 1 Sep 07

The traffic in my street is very quiet. Once I get out onto some of the semi-main roads it can get very busy. On the major roads, in peak traffic, it is terrible. So congested, very slow, accidents abound, & in winter if there is...
