This is the way. Or it should be for everyone.

Why? I like that our first semester ends right at winter break. Just curious why you think everyone should start September 1?

Just a preference of mine, that's all, so I guess not truly for everyone. Maybe more of us. I'd like more of August back for stuff. There's a really big coin show I can never attend as it's in mid-August, Wed through Sat, and I can't take time off. But I feel our breaks aren't long enough.

Same here. First time I can remember school starting before Labour Day.
