I have a Junior and a Senior this year, so we choose the August 25 start. IF (big if when dealing with Lina). My sons learned/did next to nothing after things went online last school year. I figured first couple weeks of school is getting syllabus and review and what not, they can do that online and when school starts on Sep 8 (hopefully) then they still have a "normal" school calendar circa 19XX-2018 when they started late August and only had Thanksgiving, Christmas and Spring Breaks. They still have the late arrivals (they love that) and get out normally.
I think if it's decided to postpone in school longer, than Sep 8 and classes have already started, it's a disadvantage for the kids. But starting Sep 8 and they loose late arrival and go until June isn't fair to them either because it leaves no cushion for operational minutes if something else such as Inclement Weather or political unrest happens later in the year then days have to be added into the summer.
Our train of thought anyway...hope it made sense... 4951
