<p>seriously bro get a life</p>
<p>i’ll go to school hoping that when i come back home some nice BIG FAT envelopes will be waiting for my return</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Lol sounds like a good plan, I’ll probably end up doing the same but at later times due to the fact that I plan on going to school on March 10th.</p>
<p>wow this sounds like a hardcore plan for march 10. Those who keep it real check their email in the morning and go to school. After school ends, they check the mail. What is the point of missing an entire day of school just to hear word of your decisions? You’ll find out either way later in the day.</p>
<p>I would do that to, except I my school play opens the day after M10, so I won’t be home until like 8:30pm. And then for the ones that come in the mail, I’ll be at school on Fri and Sat until 10:30-11pm. Yippee!</p>
<p>Won’t everybody be on Spring break?</p>
<p>Public schools here had winter break this week (or next). Spring break isn’t until end of April. Boarding school and public school schedules do not coincide.</p>
<p>@dodgersmom, same here - We have spring break mid April to beginning of May. But didn’t people have winter break in December around Christmas time? Or is that too a BS thing? Because as far as I know, universally winter break is at the end of December to the beginning of January.</p>
<p>This is the way the public schools work (all 1 week):</p>
<p>-December/Christmas
-February
-April</p>
<p>A lot of private schools work (2 weeks):</p>
<p>-December
-March</p>
<p>@AlexMac, thanks! Over here, we get a week in October, two weeks in december, a week in Feb., two weeks in April, a week in May/June, and 8 weeks in Summer.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Plus snow days (often 1 week+). Plus flood days (Spring 2008 = 1 week).</p>

<p>What time of year does the school year start over in the UK?</p>
<p>During the first week of September. Usually the first few days, around the 3rd, 4th for secondary schools, but it can be pretty late for Universities, often starting around October. But it should also be noted that schools close towards the end of July, usually the middle of the month, but again, Universities close around June. Our calendar is extremely incongruent to that of the US’s. Every term (UK lingo for semester) we have a week’s holiday in the middle of it - Called half-term or mid-term. Terms begin in September as school opens after summer, and half-term break is in October. Then we have End of term breaks in December (winter break). The second term begins in January as school re-opens, and half-term is in mid-february. End of term is April (spring break). School re-opens at the beginning of May, and we get half-term toward the end of June. Then we have a few weeks of school left at the end of the year till July when school closes around the middle of the month (Summer break). Overall we have 3 terms, with each having a Mid-break and an end-break. So yeah, but schools have to complete on average 195 days. But again, bank holidays/snow days (getting more common as the years go by!) are also added.</p>
<p>Huh…learn something new everyday, even if it may be on CC</p>
<p>My parents would never let me skip school unless I’m sick or if there’s a life-threatening emergency, so I don’t really have this sort of plan. I know I’m terrible at sleeping if something exciting will happen, though, so I’ll probably be completely unfocused throughout the day.</p>
<p>I wouldn’t really get my hopes up too high coming M10 for snail mail schools. They might take an extra day to deliver, so I’m prepared to not freak out if I don’t get some letters.</p>
<p>Groton sends the information at 6 p.m., which I think is better than 6 a.m. like Exeter, since you don’t have to wait through the night.</p>
<p>I wonder what they title the email as - ‘Congrats!’ or ‘Your in!’? Or do you only find out once you open the email and read it?</p>
