I was only too pleased to tell the asshole I don't smoke. Fucking dick.

Re: What Made you Smile/What Ticked you off Today?
Yeah, It is pretty variable. I know some high schools start after Labor Day (early September). I know if/when we got a lot of snow days we'd sometimes get close to a July dismissal. It's even more variable at the college level...AppleQueso wrote:vacation starts late-May to mid-June, ends mid-late August.elmagicochrisg wrote:Huh?

John, what kind of cruel Texas school sends their students into a classroom for the bulk of that oppressive August heat? Shouldn't they be one of the "start as late as possible" states?

Ah, thanks. Where I live it's...
July and August for regular schools.
July, August and half of September for Universities / higher education.

Yet if I go out for a lazy lunch from work I'm sure I'll see kids walking home from the high school wearing black hoodies and things like last year.dsheinem wrote:John, what kind of cruel Texas school sends their students into a classroom for the bulk of that oppressive August heat?

You've mentioned this before. I can wear suits in the Summer as they are surprisingly breathable, but covering my head in cotton during the summer would place me in a heat stroke.Hobie-wan wrote: Yet if I go out for a lazy lunch from work I'm sure I'll see kids walking home from the high school wearing black hoodies and things like last year.
In turn, I have worn short sleeves when it was snowing outside, so I'm a bit of a weird-o too.
