School has already started for a lot of kids already. It seems the Summer gets shorter and shorter for kids. I remember that school never started until way after Labor Day was over. I was just writing someone in an email about this very thing. We always knew that we had that last big holiday (Labor Day) before heading back to school. In some places kids go all year round with breaks in between. Weird.

I'm also from the generation where school started after Labor Day and it blows my mind how early they start these days.  Schools are starting here Tuesday for the most part but some have already started.  I think it was better when we went to school and learned reading, writing and arithmetic and had the whole summer off!
