School's in west virginia(ohio county) start august 26th. When i was in school, classes did not start until after labor day. They should go back
to that system again. In the local newspaper, there was a poll question-
Do you think schools should be year round? The vote was about 50/50.
Does anybody think that is a good idea? I do not and i bet amusement
parks and swimming pools do not either.
I remember when they started going back to school in Augustin our town. I t was in 1978-79 school year after the terrible winters of 1977 and 1978 which we missed 17 days 1976-77 and in 1977-78 we missed 13. An early start was supposed to be an early end of the year if no calamity days were needed But at least in my area now the kids have 2 weeks for Christmas, MLK Day, semeseter break etc. The kids have to go 180 days no matter when the year starts. Also high schools have already stated their seasons. Week one of Friday Night Lights in the Buckeye State starts Friday. Here in Ashland thats what everyone is talkin about especially since AHS has gone 24-3 the last 2 years.
