wow, they didn't plan that too good for parents. that sucks. our tax free weekend was the 3rd-5th. school starts for my kids on the 15th. at least we had time to shop. maybe the teachers will at least give them time to get the rest of their stuff if they dont have everything.

What are tax free weekends?

They take off the tax for most school supplies, computers, clothes, and shoes. It varies by state though. Here is a list for each state. http://www.examiner.com/article/back-to-school-shopping-tax-free-weekend-2012-holiday-listed-for-states

All my kids go to different schools, so they all start on different days. My son started kindergarten today.  My daughter starts middle school on the 22nd.

School starts here in the 22nd for all three of mine.  I always started back the first week of September so it's hard getting use to the early start dates they have here.  But the tax free weekend I think may be this weekend, I already got supplies though.

School started this week for kids here. I cant believe how early it is. I remember starting school in September...

Why do your kids go back so early when it is still summer? Ours don't go back until September 4.

I thought a summer vacation was supposed to be a vacation for summer.

As off the wall as this sounds:  By starting the school year earlier, the system is in for mostly the cooler months and school systems save energy because heat costs less than cooling.
