What does your (or your kid's) school start?

Just curious when everyone's school starts? I've lived a few different places and it seems to vary.

In the Northwest, we always started in early September and went to mid June. I think they changed that up a bit, giving a longer mid-winter break and a shorter summer, but it's pretty much the same.

In Texas, they start the last week of August (when it's still 100F+) and they get out early, like the last week of May.

In SoCal, I stated with some family about 15 years ago that was just starting year-round school. The kids went 2 weeks on, then 1 week off. Two weeks off around the holidays and 1 month off in the summer.

I know a lot of homeschoolers and private schoolers. One of the benefits of that tye of system is a more flexible schedule. The government run schools get cash for each and every day that kids are in the seat, so they've come up with laws/rules to keep keeps in the class...that's not how the real world works though.

Anyhow, what's it like for you. Where do you live and what type of school?

My daughter just attended her first day of Kindergarten yesterday. I think school around here usually ends in June. This is our first year though so I don't know.
