Why do elementary boy schools start their school year about 2 weeks before girls elementary schools? or we can ask it vice versa at a different perspective
Why do elementary girl schools start their school year about 2 weeks later then elementary schools?
they already had over 2 months of vacation & are just sitting around bored climbing the walls.
In Israel, the answer is simple. Boys chadarim and Talmid Torahs start Rosh Chodesh Elul, same as the big boy Yeshivas, while girls follow the education ministry’s calendar, starting Sept 1. Except this year they started 2 days earlier than that, I guess so they can squeeze in everything they need to before yom tov. Last year Rosh Chodesh Elul was Sept 4, so the girls actually started before the boys.
