There are so many out-of-school holidays for American children because in America children only have to go to school for about 180 days, give or take a few.

Unfortunately, they're telling the truth.  The California Education Code requires every person between the ages of 6 and 18 to attend school (Section 48200).  And all persons between the ages of 16 and 18 who are what the law calls "habitually truant" (absent far too often) can be brought to juvenile court (Section 48403).

Varies some on school districts. Usual one  is thee child would  need to turn 5 before the school year starts. So the child born Oct 13th. 2006 would start K in August 2012.\nDon't fret that the child is on the older side of 5 it as a rule works out better for them.

Actually, it depends on the child. But, the general rule of thumb is 8-10 hours. Most school age children need a good night's rest to do well in academics.

Every individual school district will be different. You need to be more specific. \n\nLooks like school starts 8/14\n\nSee http://kaufman.ednet10.net/

The teachers usually have a couple of hours of class prep and grading to do after school lets out.  It would make for a really long day for the teachers if school started at 10.\n\nHigh school in my area starts at 9 am. That's not too early!

For the United States, education is the work of a lifetime.  So education begins in the home, as it does all over the world.  Elementary school ordinarily begins when a child is 5 and lasts for 8 years.\n\nAdd 5 to the year in school to get the average age of children and youngsters in that grade.\n\nNinth grade is the lst year of High School and students are called Freshmen.\nTenth grade is the 2nd year of High School and students are called Sophomores.\nEleventh grade is the 3rd year of High School and students are called Juniors.\nTwelfth grade is the 4th and final year of High School and students are called Seniors.\n\nThus Juniors, in the 11th year of formal education, are 16 to 17 years old.

Only if you want to be suspended, expelled, and/or prosecuted by the full extent of the law. Seriously, some guys got suspended recently for EATING THE TEACHER'S COOKIES. No joke.

None.  I had a classmate in law school who was in her 50s.  She had been a kindergarten teacher for 20+ years before that. One of her former students was in the group of law students a year behind us!

Yes you can because you only need to go to school until your 18....so ur an adult now...I'm a junior and i know a senior who says that he isn't going to 4th hour because he doesn't feel like it so he writes his own letters to the office.

Hi, I'm from Carolina, and I'm not sure if there is a law for that what you asked. I think common sense plays more a part than anything. I think it is safe when a child reaches 10-12 years old. Of course there are 10-12 year olds who are dependable, and some that are not, I think it depends on your kids. I know of a 12 year old who was in daycare because his mom couldn't trust him enough to stay at home and not burn down the house, or let strangers in while she worked. Generally around that age, they should be able to stay home by themselves until a first shift working parent(s) come home for the evening. Most of the time the child is only there for 2-3 hours alone before an adult get s there, which is not bad. As a child with both parents working, I remember staying there for an hour and a half until my mother got off work. We walked home from school, me,my brother and my little sister. My bro was the oldest at  10, I was 8 and lil' sis was 5 or 6. We were good kids and me and lil' sis listened to our bro. We would not answer the phone, go outside, cook anything, or watch t.v (until homework was done) no tv until homework was done. He would threaten to tell if we didn't listen to him, and we did since he was the oldest and in charge. I am 28 now, and I'm still alive and well. That is my point. It depends on your kids! My bro was responsible at 10 years old, so my folks knew they could trust him to watch over his baby sisters!

It is NOT against the law but there are education requirments that the child must meet later, many kids do not begin school until 6 so this is not terribly unusual but perhaps the child is going to be home educated.

i think the school day should be 8 to 6 with several recess periods so parents can work and not worry about daycare and after school care.  the schools should only have off the legal holidays that all workers get.  Each child and each teacher gets 2 weeks vacation -the child's to co- relate to the parents work vacation.
