I think that school is starting outrageously early! Why cant it start AFTER Labor Day, or sometime in the first week of September? What do you think? Here are some of my reasons: 1. August is much too hot! Some schools dont even have air conditioning. How can a kid study and learn when theyre hot and sweaty? 2. Summertime is the best time for families to take family vacations and starting school in August would prevent them from taking a Labor Day vacation. Tourism is one of our largest industries in Michigan. By not taking family vacations it hurts the travel industry and economy of Michigan. 3. What about the teachers? Is 2 1/2 months enough time away from the kids? If we want our teachers to be in top shape, they need a full 3 month vacation! 4. Why start school and take a long weekend after just a few days? Will the kids really learn in those first couple of days? Im not sure theyre ready to buckle down when they know the long weekend is coming up. These are just a few reasons why I think we should start school after Labor Day. Let me know what you think.
