Good for them and you, my does not start until after labor day, but she is also a Senior this year so she is extra excited about it.  One year and I will be done with school then dealing with College.  And so glad, they have changed the school schedule for the kids to start later because 7:30 am is too early, LOL even my daughter is upset about it, the later they start the later the kids will go to bed

That is what gets me.  They have all this crap in the news about how school days need to start later.  We started at 8:30 the whole time I was in school.  If your kid needs more sleep then make them go to bed earlier.  They set up half the night texting and on facebook and then cry because they don't want to get up in the mornings.  Seems like when I was in grade school we went to bed at 9.  Getting up was not a problem.

Besides that they might as well get use to getting up because unless they live off the government they will have to get a job and that job will require they get up and go to work in the mornings.  The entire world will not shift to starting later in the day because a few people are lazy or want to sit up half the night.

And you are right, if the school day starts at 9 or later then it will end at 4 or later.

Have a great first day of school! The children in our town started last week. My son would of been in school but he passed away in Jan, and it will be another 4yrs until my daughter will start school.

I don't have any kids but am looking forward to them going back to school.  I work nights so I enjoy my peace and quiet during the day when they are in school.
