I'm feeling old. My daughter started high school this week! I know Harry
won't be able to understand this, but at the end of middle school, the
teachers assigned to place students unanimously voted for her to be
eligible for all honors courses! Funny, but according to Harry, that
can't be done if you like to do other things besides schoolwork like
bike, camp, etc. In just three days she's adjusted well to the HUGE
school she goes to. It's just the way she is! She's a big hit in her
honors Spanish class, because it's really Spanish II there's a lot of
sophomores, juniors, and a few seniors. She took high school Spanish I
in middle school! Okay, done bragging!

In mid-August? That seems early to me. IIRC, it's always after Labor
Day around here.

That "after labor day" start seems to be a "northern" thing. Loogy's in
"da souf," and perhaps the kids there need the extra time to catch up
with their peers in states with colder climes.

I hope they don't judge the kids by their parents.
This doesn't seem to be the case if Looney is telling the truth.

You think loogy would lie about his kid getting into high school? :)

Really, that sucks.. I must admit, I hate it when school starts. I love
spending the summers with my kids.

Yes, exactly! Always a new routine, etc. Don't know why they start early
here. I do know that they seem to get more time off during the year than
I did. There's a spring break, a winter break, and maybe even a fall break.
