Living in a state that goes back after labor day and having multiple kids take AP I have seen first hand how teachers push topics together, usually right after winter break, to try to get everything to fit in. Often it results in students having a sudden drop in grades due to lack of proper coverage of the material. We also have required summer assignments so I am not sure what the alternative could be. A later date would help, but see how it could be a problem for some states.
