Of course, when I went to school, we were only required to attend 170 days, not 180 like today's kids. Also, it wasn't a big deal if kids went to Mexico at Christmas and didn't make it back in time for the end of the semester. There were no state tests required to make the school look good (or bad). And the schools didn't pay much attention to how well they educated the migrant children. Times have changed, and I think, for the better.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2546626959391412613.post-13975787400185865572017-09-04T08:23:02.002-07:002017-09-04T08:23:02.002-07:00My birthday is in mid-August and I agree completel...My birthday is in mid-August and I agree completely that school should start after Labor Day! I think it still does in some places but these Arizona school schedules are ridiculous. My kids had just one school year with ALL of June, July & August off and it was great.Carol S86303https://www.blogger.com/profile/15473438612729561520noreply@blogger.com
