Most schoolkids in Maryland head back to class tomorrow, the 21st of
August. Back in the days before electricity, when I was in public
school, we never went back to school until *after* Labor Day. When my
kids were in public school, they typically went back about a week before
Labor Day. Now it's two weeks before Labor Day? I'm surprised the kids
aren't up in arms about this.
