| Well, most of, if not all, New Hampshire started school today. I will
have the holiday and vacation schedule brought home tonight, I'm sure.

| There is a school in NY a friend of mine attented where they go to
school year round. They break they year up with two breaks I believe,
one month in Feb, and one month in the summer.

| My daughter started 1st grade on August 17th (standard schedule is Aug
23rd for most local counties). Kindergarten is held for an entire day
here compared to a four-hour program up North. The full day program
was extremely successful for her because she enjoys school so much. At
any rate, they take the standard holiday vacations at Thanksgiving and
Christmas. The only additional days I've seen is 1 day a month as a
"Teacher's Vacation Day". School usually closes on or around June 4th.
By the way, she goes to school in a "suburb" of Raleigh, North
Carolina.
I'm told that the school year is longer here because they tend to have
a lot of "heat" days here compared to "snow" days in NH. Most of the
schools have air conditioning but a good majority of them don't so they
get let out early a lot.
Happy compiling!

That's interesting, because I would have thought that August is hotter than
June, and that's the tradeoff that you are making, effectively. Though heat
may be a bit more distracting at the end of the year, when teachers and
students are tired and maybe stale.

| 579.5 | Very little gets done in June, IME | ICS::NELSONK | | Wed Sep 01 1993 16:26 | 5 |
| My experience, as both student and teacher, is that little
learning gets accomplished at the end of June. I was always ready
to go back to school in late August/early September. But late June...
forget it.

| 579.6 | Yes, August is hotter | ICS::NELSONK | | Wed Sep 01 1993 16:31 | 4 |
| the other thing I forgot to address in .5 is that it tends to be hotter
in August than in June, if only because the humidity is higher, and
the earth has had the last several months to warm up! This is what
I remember from living in the Deep South.
