@FutureCEO yet another reason to live in the UK-You can participate in the Lancashire world gravy wrestling championship. 20 thousand gallons of beef gravy containing beef juices, chopped veggies and corn flour. You can wrestle and have a little snack at the sametime.

What is the overall feeling for “Teachers love it, families love it, kids love it,” go back to school after Labor Day?

I can't find where they'll make up the days to reach the 180 classroom instruction. Would the school year
just be extended at the end of the year?

I'm not sure. I only just read about it this morning.

I believe there are several thoughts behind it. For one thing, Maryland has a rather large tourism industry, especially in Baltimore, Annapolis, and Ocean City, and a lot of the tourism, especially in Ocean City, is locals. There's thoughts that extending the summer will help the economies.

And then there's the whole air conditioning situation. The governor is NOT happy with Baltimore County about not having AC in their schools. He wants portable AC units in the schools until full air conditioning can be installed in all schools. But August is also hotter for us than June, so it would be better for schools to start after Labor day when it starts to cool down.

For Baltimore County, I believe if they cut professional development days and moved them to the summer, the end of the school year would only need to be extended a few days. If they cut down on Spring Break, then they'd probably get out around the same time. They could likely also cut President's Day, MLK's birthday, etc., and that would help.

I know a lot of parents, including mine, would rather see them go after Labor Day and have fewer days off during the year. I think at the very least they should start about when all the colleges start.

Not quite used to being back to work quite yet since this is just my 3rd day back since my Wedding/Honeymoon WDW vacation came to an end on August 28th. I could have stayed another 2 weeks. We arrived on August 12th and I stayed 1 night at BayLake Towers and then got married at Disney on August 13th. The best day of my life. Then I moved my things into the Grand Floridian Resort & Spa where my husband stayed the night before. We then enjoyed a wonderful Honeymoon at the most Magical Place On Earth. I am now sitting outside eating lunch in mid 80 degree weather at work just thinking about how lovely it all was. Once I get it all originized I will set up a Trip Report. I am Rachel, but go by Rach.
