School's Out for the Summer!

[Phil C]

Or for most schools anyway even though some have it all year round. It used to be that schools were out for all the summer months. The last day would be around the last week in May and then you didn't come back until September 1st. You would have to register in late August but classes didn't start until September 1. One of the main reasons was because they didn't have air conditioners at all and in the summer months the classrooms would be very hot so they decided to not have classes in the hot part of summer. Of course after air conditioners came in it was still practical to have summer off because of high electricity bills in the summer. The Texas Legislature has recently made it by law to not start until September and end in late May if I understand it correctly. Bravo!

I don't care when we start, as long as we are out before memorial weekend.
