Looks like you might be from a Southern state, such as Arizona, Georgia, or Florida. According to the info I got from Copilot. They start the school year in early August. Whereas Northern states, like New York, Massachusetts, and Minnesota typically begin after Labor Day.
Copilot has given you false information.
Oh. How so?
Uh… it’s not correct…?
I'm just asking for a reason why it's incorrect. Please, inform me.
I was able to pretty easily find a whole article inside of about 30 seconds done by Pew Research, showing regional clustering and distribution, and they moreover describe the methodology and data sources used.
So while I get what you’re saying and why you’re asking, I’d encourage you to just spend a minute on a few web searches, instead of trying to treat the lemmy user base as a ChatGPT instance. And that last bit is why I’m not just handing you the link, or the answer.
You shouldn’t generally accept LLM answers as correct and authoritative, especially if it’s not a topic you have any knowledge on - corroboration is always a good idea.
Tennessee
Minnesota here, our kids go back next week.
Here in Ohio there are many districts that have been in school for 2 weeks now. Districts have been pushing their start date back for years.
