Because of the teachers union. Up until about 10 years ago (and for decades before that) public school in nyc started on the tuesday after labor day. Teachers returned to their classrooms the Thursday/Friday before labor day. Teachers didn't want to interrupt their August vacations and bargained for not having to return until after labor day. So if teachers aren't getting there until after labor day, the kids start a couple of days after that. Dh is a NYC public school teacher and was keeping me in the loop of the process at the time.

Sounds fair. Families would go ballistic if they were asked to go back to school before Labor Day. [ Reply | More ]
