holidays
Whether there are "too many holidays" or not is debatable. But in my experience, we have started earlier and earlier without the addition of holidays. Those have stayed the same. I did notice one "fall holiday" this year that we haven't had before...October 13. I don't know what it is for although it does occur at the end of a nine week grading period. If anything, we are getting out earlier in May than before. It is like the whole year has been moved back a few days each year for the past few years.

Here we go again! School starts Wed. the 8th in BC! It is by far the hottest month of the year. I always feel so sorry for the kids that have to ride the bus the first month too. They are NOT air conditioned! That long Elm Grove ride in the afternoon is just unbearable!

My poor son has a long haul down the stairs to home school! Thank goodness he doesn't have to ride a school bus. I feel so bad for the kids that are going to have to ride them this week. It will be miserable.

Students of every grade should go all year long. it's ridiculous in an age when we don't need kids home for the harvest to have three months out of the year when they do nothing.
