Last Day Of Public School Today

2010_06_schoolout.jpg Today is the last day of the 2009-2010 school term, but many schools aren't expecting to see kids in class today. According to MyFoxNY, "Teachers were predicting that some parents would keep their children home or get a jumpstart on their vacations. They won't be missing any education. The schools generally hand out report cards and learning who their teachers will be in the fall." And the first day of the 2010-2011 term will be September 8. There was an effort to move the first day to September 13, because it's believed parents will keep kids home until then anyway since school is closed on September 9 and 10 for Jewish holidays. But the DOE and teachers union couldn't come to an agreement.

    So late, compared to rest of country and private schools. It's all about keeping kids off the streets.
