Expand I think for many who are involved with fall sports school starts in August anyway.... with practices and all that. It leaves less time in the summer to plan vacations. And with younger kids parents are like "Ok, go back already... I love you but I'm also kind of sick of you...." 1 Quote

They'd rather go back earlier and end earlier. Expand Thanks for that clarification. I had a pretty good recollection that it has been passed but not why it didn't seem to still be in force. So it's the waiver mechanism that has effectively gutted it's effect. Quote

Expand Between Fall sports and extra circulars like Band Camp (preparing for the Festival season as well as FB) summer seems to end in early August. Probably another argument for year round school with semesters, quarters or whatever broken up with several two or three week breaks. Tradition had Summer vacations so that offspring could help with the agricultural seasons (if I remember correctly). Now parents pull kids out of school for numerous reasons, mostly off season vacations. Quote

I had one grandparent that smoked unfiltereds until a death at 93 unrelated to smoking. The other side of the family lung cancer killed about 75% of the men long before 90! Quote
