Talked to my sister who lives in Atlanta, GA and she mentioned that the public schools all started back this week there. Some started today and others later this week. I think Humble ISD starts back on August 22nd which seems soon enough. 4951

Yes, here in my part of GA kids start Aug 5.  Seems a bit early to me too.  Maybe they have to start early because they have weather days that cause school closing every year? 4951

@CantStandTex:  I was glad to go back to school especially high school. Life was great as a high school jock. Besides, high school was a breeze compared to the summer jobs I had to take. However those lousy jobs did served as motivation to get a good education beyond high school. 4951

I was always ready for HS to start too. That way football practice would quit running from 1-7. 4951

Schools are scheduled for longer sessions so districts can ask for more money. 4951

Start early, end early...or a lot of holiday time.  Most states are 180 days, Texas has modified that to the following:Because of a change in state law, the Texas Education Code no longer defines 180 days of instruction as an acceptable school year. Instead, the requirement has been changed to at least 75,600 minutes of instruction, with one day defined as 420 minutes.“The rationale was to give districts more flexibility for making up missed instructional days,” said DeEtta Culbertson, a spokeswoman for the Texas Education Agency. “This is a way for the district to not have to add additional days unless they want to.”Read more here: www.star-telegram.co m/news/local/communi ty/arlington/article 40532889.html#s 4951

75,600 minutes
 
@ET: So 4,536,000 seconds annually. Lets equip all students with stop watches instead of tablets.

@CantStandTex: You think they and their teachers aren't watching the clock already?
