When do yoru kids go back to school?

HA!! I finally had my fill of my girl's school. Don't know if you remember all the trouble I was having there, but enough was enough. After looking around for better schools and realizing our entire school system is whacked, I decided to home school my kids. Of course it didn't come easy, I tried to keep it hushed, but it slipped out, don't know if it was by a friend or my kids, but news I was planning on taking them out the following school year broke and it was h3ll after that. I received worse attitudes from the staff, my kids were interrogated on two different occasions as to why I was homeschooling, rumors were flying like mad and even other parents found out via the staff!!!! UGGGGGGG! So to answer your question, LOL....mine started the very last day of school last year. We work for three weeks then we take a week off. It will still add up to the mandatory 180 of school, actually more and I can get my girls caught up to where they should be. Then next school year we are going to follow the school calender, which will be then starting the second week of Aug.

HA! NOT NEARLY SOON ENOUGH LOL....My kids go back the first day after Labour Day which this yr is I think Sept 3 or soemthing like that....and their school day is from 7:30am until 2:30 which is fine EXCEPT they only get 20 mins for lunch and there IS NOT recess here..not even in the elementary school...Thats actually something I have serious issues with..

My son started his first day of 3rd grade this morning. He goes to school from 8:15 am till 3:15 pm. He gets on the bus at the end of the driveway at 7:25 am.

Two of my four children go back on the 2nd September that is my eldest who is going into six form and my 11 year old daughter who is starting year seven, the first year of secondary school. My eldest has to go in on 2nd september so he can help the year sevens settle in. Then my 15 year old (Year 11) and my 7 year old (Year 3) don't start back until September 3rd. My 15 and 11 year olds school day is from 8.35am-3pm. My seven year old school day is from 8.50am-3.15pm My eldest who is sixteen only has to go in when he has lessons as they are very felixable in the Six form. I am hoping that my two year old will be starting pre-school at the end of October and he will be able to go in three afternoons a week from 1pm-3.15pm. We are in the Uk.

I am in the UK, and my son goes back on the 3rd September, which pleases him. He is going into year 10 in senior school, and he is glad he isn't year 11 (the last year) as he would have had to go back in on the 2nd (his birthday) to help settle in the new year 7 children. Maybe next year he will though. So far he has been lucky and it is usually either the 3rd or 4th they go back. At his school the hours are 8.30 till 3.00.
