I seem to recall “finals” were in May
= = = = = = =
Yeah, May but definitely NOT the month prior Christmas.
Though I guess they do have graduations spread out more than before?
I really don’t know because I had my fill of ‘higher education’ in my Senior Year of HS, which I chose not to complete and never looked back.
Of course, since I didn’t spend thousands of dollars on ‘advanced education’, today I am left a ‘blubbering idiot’ who can’t spell, use proper punctuation or count higher than 20 unless I drop trou or even spell CAT if you give me the K and A.
I could see the flawed ‘system’ back in 53 when I went from a Catholic School after 9th Grade and was so far ahead of my ‘peers’ in the Public School system I even took TYPING in 1955 High School. And that was New York State who, at the time, was considered to be among the Educational Leaders when it came to Public (Government) Schools.
