My county (Georgia-metro Atlanta) started today. Absolutely ridiculous.

Mine go back on the 13th. They got out at the beginning of May. I think they should all start after Labor Day

They start after Labor Day. They get out in June, usually around Fathers' Day.

I just looked online, Gidget. Ours starts 9/2. There are several campaigns for school supplies.

Either the Wed before Labor Day, or the Wed after--depending on the year. For K-12.

My kids are all done with school, for the first time this year!

I am starting back late August.

School resumes on August 13th here, too. That seems like nearly a week earlier than what it used to be when my kids were attending. And far different from when I was a kid. Chicago public schools and even in the suburbs, school ran from the day after Labor Day until sometime in June (mid-June for the city, a little earlier for the suburbs).

When I went to school in Boston and NJ, back in the covered wagon days, we always started the day after Labor Day and got out around Father's Day. This gave us....gasp...the summer off. What a concept. Since ours started today, people have been asking each other on Facebook if their subdivision pools are closing now since the kids are back I school. I'm thinking "it's only August 4th"! Maybe, just maybe an adult or someone without children might like to swim.

Hi, gidget, Here in S. Fl the kids got out rather late this year, so I am hoping for after Labor Day, though often it's the last week in August.

It affects me, because I live near _six_ schools, middle schools, elementaries and private church-related schools, and they all have different start times and daily session hours, and so it seems I am dealing with several schools no matter when I am going on errands or to work. The middle-schoolers are the worst, as they are more reckless and don't have those wonderful crossing guards to keep an eye not only on the motorists but on the often antsy, darting children.

August 25 for most schools in South Texas. I remember one year a while back--they had moved the start date of school so early in August, that we teachers started for inservice on July 31. The attitude wasn't good!
