My daughter and son-in-law, who are both teachers, live with their two children in Northern Indiana. Because the children go to school in Indiana, they started school on August 19th. My daughter and son-in-law teach in the state of Michigan (their school is only 10 minutes from their home), and they don’t start teaching until after Labor Day, which is September 7th this year!!
