High School

[Callum B]

Mine ends mid July. Then after that it's my final year, thank the non-existent God. Not to offend any Christians/Catholics sorry.

 

[Bopop4]

How could you possibly offend somebody on the internet?!?
ISP 4th, so I went to the library to chill and chat.

Well I'm in Ireland like and most secondary schools (High Schools) get out at the end of may and go back in September.

We get out in later June, go back in August.

I end the beginning of July and go back in September. Still got 5 weeks of school left...

 

[Ross]

I end July 21st and go back September 4th.

 

[1241Penguin]

In my understanding though, you guys get more holidays throughout the school year, is that right?

 

[mattythedog]

I guess so. I get 8 weeks of holiday throughout the year, and 8 week summer break.

 

[Ross]

7 weeks of holiday and 6 weeks of summer break.

College finishes end of June and goes back in september.

But from here on out as I do my last exam today the classes will be quite relaxed.

 

[gjeff12]

I heard somewhere that you guys only have to do grade 11 (or 11th year or something).

We have up to year 11 of compulsory education then its college then its university after that.

Or Year 11 then 2 years of sixth form in the same school.

 

[savage388]

Well no more school! Finals are over and Graduation is next week! I going to kinda miss high school I think.

 

[Epic B]

Lucky you. I'm not out until June 15. At least I get a good belated birthday present. My final science exam is on June 12, my math final on the 13th. I dunno about the 14th aside from me turning 14. I'm out on the 15th.

How do you Americans and Irish get out of school so early and have such a long break? It makes me rage. Never had more than 6 weeks before I finished school.

Because Americans don't have half terms, they get rewarded with a 3 month Summer holiday, which we get at the end of Years 11 and 13 anyway. I finished school 2 weeks ago.

In Ireland at primary school we get out at the end of June for 2 months, in secondary we get out at the end of May in 1st, 2nd, 4th and 5th years, and 3rd and 6th have to stay back a month for exams.

 

[hawkeye122]

Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday I have finals, and then 11 Weeks of relaxation, chilling, offroading, going to the Sand Dunes, going to San Francisco, and all of that sort of thing.

My ex literally just sent me a Facebook message, apologizing for breaking my heart 6 months ago, because now she knows how it feels since the guy she left me for left her. I literally laughed. My life is now awesome, and she's still being stressed with relationships. Such a win.

 

[Patrick]

High school relationships. LOL.

 

[hawkeye122]

High school relationships. LOL.

Haha exactly. And the funny thing? Shes 2 years older than me. Still living with her parents.

Wow, who knew everywhere had such different school years? Here we get out around the 18th of June every year and we go back on the day after Labour Day (first Monday in September). Doesn't matter what grade you're in. Mind you, every school district and private scool is different around here but still pretty close.

 

[1241Penguin]

Well, for the secondary school students, it's more like the end of June, due to the final exams and provincials.

 

[Epic B]

Just did the Chapter 11 math test a while ago. Not sure how I did, but it was easy. Math tests are too easy. Got less than two weeks of actual schooling left. CLOCK. IS. TICKING!

 

[Pyle_PMG]

We worked on radicals and rationals in Mathematics today.

 

[AnthonyD1993]

I have my first of two commencement practices tomorrow. I really don't want to go because I feel like 🤬, but since I cant walk if I don't go to both practices, I'm going.

 

[Pyroboy8]

I got kicked out of 9th grade 2 weeks ago and they won't let me come back... Can they do that?

 

[Patrick]

What did you do?
