[Netbattler11]

School starts up again on Tuesday for me. When do/did you start?

[Mrs. Cindy Gill]

the poor little blighters here started last wednesday

[Smiley73]

still currently in the school term, term three to be exact. ends in three weeks I think, then a short 12 day holiday and back for term four which'll end on the 7th December I think.

 

and at the end of the fourth term I write the exams whose marks I send off to uni. joy.

I've had this discussion many times before. School systems are confusing, especially if they're from another country

[Niniel]

Do all of you have three semesters? We have only two.

[Smiley73]

4 actually

[Smiley73]

but they're called terms because semester seems to imply half a year, or that's how it's used 'round here. First semester work = first half of the year's work

[Mrs. Cindy Gill]

we had trimesters... very strange thing to call a term at school.

I have no idea when the national schools start in this area other than around this time - might be tomorrow. My son is starting school tomorrow, but he is being homeschooled, so yep...

[lolguy26]

i start on Saturday (but i think i might skip the first few days)

[Netbattler11]

You start school on a saturday?

 

 

Where do you live?

[randomh3r0]

Not sure these days. I work directly next to the Jr. High school I attended as a kid, and when their marching band practice starts is usually when I'm made aware that school's back around

My sister goes back to school on Wednesday

[Crimson_Ayla]

I don't start uni until October

[dicetosser1]

Mighta been confusing if that was the case with a school that had a problem with teen pregnancies, like a lot of schools do nowadays

 

Somewhat Rotund Student: "I'm almost done with my third trimester!"

 

Awkward Bystander: "So... should I call EMS or throw you a graduation party?"

That's awesome!

 

You should tell him to bring his teacher an apple

 

[hazelkrs1]

Unless of course you don't like apples...

 

[hazelkrs1]

Can't remember exactly when school started for me, but it was def around the end of August.

[Leelou]

I think the schools in my neighborhood start tomorrow. I haven't seen any busses yet and I know in MA kids typically go back after Labor Day.

My school officially started today, though friday and saturday were sorta half days of school. Not sure how I'm gonna survive without DM for 9 WHOLE hours!
