I don't have little ones, but I go back 2 school on the 2nd. The kids come on the 5th.
I can't wait! I just finished Summer School last Thursday, but now its time 2 go "school shopping" (hey I need a new wardbrobe, too!  ) and 2 get MY school supplies! "Love Hurts. Your lies, they cut me. Now your words don't mean a thing. I don't give a damn if you ever loved me..." -Cher, "Woman's World" | |

They might want to push kids ahead a year...but there is no way in hell that I would ever allow that to happen. | |

They wanted to move both ours from K to 1st - we declined We have a great "gifted" / honours program here - Jess is in 11th grade and most of her classes are college level and many are credited towards college JT had many of his basic college credi classes covered as well prior to High School Graduation | |

My two youngest daughters (5th grade and 3rd grade) went back to School July 17th (Year-round school) and my oldest daughter (will be a Junior in High school) goes back August 25th. "Always blessings, never losses......"

My older brother skipped 2 grades and I saw how difficult it was for him socially. And I think that's far more important than a grade sixer doing grade 8 math. | |

I have a friend that insists that public schools are only where scum people send their scum children and that social aspects have ZERO importance. And that all that comes out of public school are dron average kids She and her husband both went to public schools mind you
I should have said I HAD a friend ~ | |

Though we just have 2 more yrs left with Jess now so ... I actually like year-round school a lot better, except that our oldest goes to a school with a traditional schedule and trying to plan family vacations suck. They were off for about a month from mid June to mid July, then they get three weeks off at the end of September beginning of October, they get an extra week for winter break and two extra weeks for spring break.
