I'm curious about the dates school starts in the rest of the country. Even before I had children, it depressed me for school to start before Labor Day. Now it starts before the state fair. Today I talked to a teacher that says they are starting August 4!!! Anybody else start that early?

Out here I believe it is the Wednesday before Labor Day.
I think they do it this way so the kids first 3 weeks are only 3, 4 and then a 5 day week LOL Break them in gently :wink: or maybe easing the Teachers back in? :D:D:D

Our school starts August 17th.

My oldest starts this year and it seems so early. I wish it was just a little bit later, but with snow days and ice days... I guess that it is good that they start this early.
