Ahh, interesting about the testing. I don't even think a discussion occurred about it here. And really, if we're only talking about the difference of a few days, is that really going to have a big impact? I admit, it's not a subject I know much about not being a teacher or having a kid that's been subjected to standardized testing yet.

The local public school starts August 19. Growing up in Illinois, we never started after labor day, usually the last week of August. DD's preschool starts September 9.
You people are making me so sad!! Summer break is OVER in some places?? Maybe I need to take a vacation there, at least the beachs and parks would be wide open.

Our waterparks all close when school starts at least during the week.

Yea, things tend to close when school starts, so labor day for us.
Though, if you were traveling to a touristy place, the last 2 weeks of August up to labor day are probably still busy but lighter than mid june - mid august. If I ever have to do Disney in the summer (shudder) I'm going that last week of summer to hope it's better crowd-wise.
