Back to School…in July
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Can you believe it? Some schools have already started up again. There’s a lot of parent backlash against shorter summers, but some districts are sold on the benefits. They say shorter breaks throughout the year are better for kids than a three-month summer vacation that can be an eternity for kids without constructive things to do.
Cross-blogination: One of our sister blogs, Sandy Springs Inc. has a good conversation going on whether the Fulton school district gives Sandy Springs’ overcrowded schools the shaft. Go here.
oooh…here’s another school-related blog on dress codes. Go here.
Also, I added some links to the “Links for Geeks” rail on the left … check them out.
Finally, sales tax holiday this weekend. This is a great time to shop if you can handle the crowds. Not only do you get a pass on the sales tax (for some items, such as clothes and computers), but stores mark merchandise they want to move way, way down.
Have a safe weekend, everybody!
