We start Sept 6...always after Labour Day weekend...last year we had a little glitch in the contract and had to go in for 1 day the week before..it was strange...
I wouldn't mind starting in mid August and get a little more time off in Feb and April...a very dear friend of mine moved back home to Mass...and we taught together for years in Toronto...we were just talking about that and how she prefers the breaks throughout the year...
This September will be my second last Sept before retirement...but who's counting...lol..
