<p>Ok, so I'm just curious. I have been on CC a lot lately and it seems like some of you get out of school waaaaaay late. When do you get out of school for the summer and when do you start in the fall? </p>
<p>Here in Oklahoma, we start in mid-August, and get out in early to mid May.</p>
<p>We're going back like a week early next year, but I really don't mind because we get out for winter vacation like December 5th or something rididculously early like that:)</p>
<p>In my high school it was like August 8-May 17. We got out 2.5 weeks for christmas too. </p>
<p>At my college it's August 16-December 13, and January 9-May 8. We get a week and a day off each semester for holidays (labor day, thankgiving in the fall; mlk day and spring break in the spring) and like 3.5 weeks for Christmas. </p>
<p>The only bad part about starting so early is that for the first week or two in the fall it's about 96 degrees everyday with 99% humidity so it feels like it's about 105 degrees. It's not that bad during high school (indoors all the time) but at college, you're out walking lots of places so you're just like OMGNEEDWATERGOINGTODIEFROMHEAT!!!!</p>
<p>thurs after labor day - mid june
1 week for thanksgiving
2 weeks for christmas
1 week for winter break
1 week for spring break
4-5 days around memorial day
plus no school regents week </p>
<p>i would rather just got to school that whole time and get out waaaay earlier!</p>
<p>Stupid, whining parents up in the mountains changed the schedule so that we get out later in June and begin school later in August so that they can sail in their yachts in France...</p>
<p>Not really, but they took away alot of our vacations...</p>
<p>However, my high school beat the system!!! The school is under construction, so we got out on the 25th of May...</p>
<p>Next year, it's even better (sarcastic sense) because we get out May 19th...But, all of the IB seniors have to come back AFTER graduation to take IB exams...</p>
