Does it upset anyone else that St. Mary's county schools run from August 30 to June 20? At this rate they'll be running all year before you know it.
Let them have more than 2 months off in the summer for crap's sake!

My kids have had a great summer vacation in the time alloted... it's time for them to get back into the school routine and hit the books again.Originally posted by jlabsher
So your fondest memories of childhood weren't summer vacation, but school?
I specifically remember announcements in the paper and maybe here too, requesting parental input on the school schedule for the next couple of years.Originally posted by jlabsher
Not on this, just on the "summer school" for the low performers. And, like they would really listen, like they did in the redistricting issue. - NOT-
My fondest memories are of school. We never had a family vacation growing up, ever.Originally posted by jlabsher

That is the parents fault.
In IL we started after labor day and got out before memorial day. They still do. And yes, we worked in the summer too. I think there is too much emphasis on book learnin and not enough on other learnin.
I'll tell my kid to be easy on your kids when they work for him.Originally posted by jlabsher
Sorry, I say let them be kids for awhile. Before you know it, they'll be punching a clock everyday like the rest of us poor schmucks.
