Well, this is lame...School starts for me in 9 days. I'm going into 10th grade and well-Its too soon! Summer was kinda lame, only fun part was the fishing and riding waverunners. When does school start for you guys, and did you enjoy the break?

I'm starting High-school now. For me this happens tomorrow :'(

I enjoyed my summer, though it was indeed cold. I've only swam twice this summer. On an average summer I go swimming 2-3 times per day.

Officialy I was in High School last year, even though I went to the Jr. High. This year I start at our High School

I am quite suprisingly looking forward to school because i start sixth form, my 12th and 13th years of school. and get paid to do it. :

and it should be fun, judging by the induction day.

That is if i get the results.

Exam results on thursday, then back to college on the 20th of September..

I spent my summer working at PC world. I had absolutely no holiday whatsoever.

I'm going into my exam year

Mr Jake · Mon 16/08/2004 13:06:49

hurrah

I go down for the bus in 22 minutes...I spent my whole Summer playing BattleField and trying to get my band to practice. But I am thoroughly bored with this holiday and I am now ready to go back to school and bitch until next Summer vacation.

Mephistophilis · Mon 16/08/2004 13:31:19

I go back tomorrow... And I 'forgot' to do a lot of Homework, oops.
Going into my 3rd Year of Secondary school.

I got my exam results a week ago, so I go back to school on Wednesday (cos of the different timezones in bonnie Scotland, of course........), going into 5th year, I dunno what that is in the English school system. Hurrah!

It's funny, I'm actually looking forward to going back, I like the routine a little, I like definately seeing my friends all the time, I even enjoy some of the actual WORK.

Primary School: 7 years, Start age 4/5.
Secondary School: 6 years, Start age 12/13

Mr Jake · Mon 16/08/2004 14:33:08

Secondary school is only 5 years.. 7, 8, 9, 10, 11

veryweirdguy · Mon 16/08/2004 14:35:28

Maybe we Scots are just SO damn clever we deserve an extra year.........or something......

I dunno how it all works. I guess that's the result of different education systems, I know the qualifications are all COMPLETELY different, & it can be hard going to a uni in the other country as a result...

DragonRose · Mon 16/08/2004 14:47:17

I'm moving back to University in three weeks, and actually starting school on the ninth of September. It'll be good to see my university friends again.

Mephistophilis · Mon 16/08/2004 14:48:24

DESERVE! who wants an Extra year of School?

Kinoko · Mon 16/08/2004 14:55:22

I'm so confused. You guys go back to school in the middle of the year? In Australia, each school year starts at the beginning of the year and goes to the end (with holidays, of course). We start, on average, at age 6 in grade 1, to grade 7, and then high school starts at age 13 in grade 8, to grade 12.

In Australia, people who don't go through all 12 years of schooling typically become plumbers ^_-

Redwall · Mon 16/08/2004 15:00:47

It's called "Summer break". I suppose that wouldn't make sense for Aussies, though.

Mr Jake · Mon 16/08/2004 15:17:23

dont Aussies have like.. no breaks during the year and then one massive one?

Kinoko · Mon 16/08/2004 15:23:39

I think that's what Aussies think of Americans! ^_^ We have a reasonably big break over christmas... so, the end and beginning of the year. The holidays typically get bigger the older you get (primary school has average holidays, high school is a -tad- bigger, years 11 and 12 have a couple more weeks off and uni... you're practically ALWAYs on holiday XD If you're me, anyway).

Then, in typical school years, you have a two week break 3 times during the year... so, the four terms are split up. Now that I'm in uni, two week breaks seem so pizzley...
