So when do your kids go back to school?

I know schools are experimenting with year round schooling. When we were looking to move to SC, the county that we want to move too does all year round schooling. Basically you still have a summer vacation it is just limited, and then you do have a nice Xmas break and a nice Spring break. What state do you live in? I'm in Maryland and this past year we had rain days to make up. Welcome to myLot and thans for the response.

I guess you wouldn't know about snow. I have been to Miami to catch cruise ships in the past. When Isbelle came through here several years ago we were closed for three days because of all the wind damage. Now will your kids have to make up those days?

Our school is one year into a three year modernazition (sp) so I can relate. They had so many days to get stuff completed this summer and they didn't. The general contractor was dreaming last September when he said they would have all this stuff done over the summer. I use to work in construction and there is always delays. But our school is shooting for Monday, we have no clue where the buses are going to be but they said it's all a go. Luckily we are walkers.

I can always remember going back to school the day after Labor Day except for the year we lived in Georgia. We went back in August but we were out in the middle of May. I have been told that the reason the school board's aren't taking chances with the weather because if a bus would be in accident, the school board would be sued. Two years ago, we were actually getting the snow, and they didn't cancel school in time, so they got all the kids in and then announced that they were closing three hours early. Which was crazy because that was three hours more of snow falling but our county's procedure is that once the kids are in school they need to be fed lunch. Silly rule in my opinion. I can remember the days walking to school in the snow wishing they would have called it. Also, our kids off so many more days in a school year. It is crazy. Thanks for the response.

Maybe he will go back one day, you never know. Do you live in the South? I know when I lived in GA, we started early to get out early due to the heat, this was back in the day when the schools didn't have AC. Thanks for the response. I thought I was going to have off all next week because who needs a substitute right away. Well the one school I worked at, called this morning and asked me to work next week. They wanted me Monday, but I already made plans for the day. I will be working as a Special Ed teacher until 9/2. I am shocked and now have to get myself prepared, like making sure I grocery shop, etc. Too funny.

Well I jinxed myself - LOL. I was asked to start back to work the first day of school but I already made plans, so I said no that I could be there on Tuesday. I'm working Tuesday to Tuesday for a Special Ed teacher. Luckily I know most of her kids. I can't imagine they are going to do too much this first week of school. There goes cleaning and gleening the girls rooms! LOL At least I will get a paycheck sooner than later! Thanks for the response.

Lucky you! I wonder why they changed it this year? I'm getting the rest of my errands done this morning because I do not want to be near a Walmart, Target or a mall this weekend. It is going to be crazy. Thanks for the resposne.
