(Yes, I'm including the May option in there because we still had great attendance at May F2Fs and I'd like the chance to actually attend one again. Some day.)
May dates definately had their perks. I'd like to see them back in the mix as well. I know it makes it tough/impossible for some teachers, but it opens it up to some other people. We should all be able to get a turn eventually.
A May option would be of the good.
Could we look at early May, for May dates? Would maybe kill two birds with one stone since it would be cooler for those who like that and won't be right on top of finals and graduation for those with kids or who work in education.
Finals at my university this year are May 3-11, and I think that's pretty typical.
Mine are scarily early this year - my semester is done April 17th.
I thought graduations were early June. We've successfully done mid-May a few times. Does mid-May work? As Hil stated, earlier might be worse timing.
Early June is tough for Uni graduations and for teachers. I think mid-May and mid-June have been our most successful so two weekends in each for voting would probably be ideal for our purposes.
I thought graduations were early June.
Depends. Colleges are usually mid May. High schools can range from late May to late June, with schools in northeastern states usually the latest. And there's always going to be a few schools that just have weird schedules.
Our HS seniors finish May 7th with graduation on May 15th. There is a wide variety around the country.
I don't suppose April would be an option instead of May...? Or is May in particular desirable for some? (Not at all trying to be snarky, honestly asking).
