I think it's a good idea. It seems a bit much for kids to go from nothing to a full week of school--like when you first start a job, the stress of the change often leads you to get a cold. I like those first two days (Thursday and Friday) to get preliminaries out of the way, and then the kids get a weekend break before hitting the ground running on Monday.
Teachers report on Friday...kids start on the 11th. That's a week later than usual. But at least they moved spring break to the end of March and it won't snow the entire week. I hope.
We also start next Thursday. Why a Thursday? Who knows.

ReplyDeleteWe don't have to worry about that much here in the Sacramento Valley!
ReplyDeleteWhy would you have airconditioning in Sacramento in August? School doesn't start until after labor day … oh, wait … no it doesn't ...
ReplyDeletewhy a Thursday? That would just be another excuse for our parents to take a longer vacation and enroll the kids Monday.
