anyhoo, the SUMMER HOLIDAYS started BEFORE 21 December...
See how the date is structured different too ???
The Friday around about the 10th was the last day of school for the year...
so the 14th is probably the last day this year if theyre still doing it the same way...
We went back the Monday of the first week of Feb for a whole new school year and a new higher grade...
they were called “primers” and then “standards” and in the higher grades “forms”
Very English...
school 6 days a week..
SEVEN weeks of summer holidays
The school year was cut into 3 intervals
Feb to the middle of May and then 2 weeks holiday...
May to the middle of August then 2 weeks for elementry schools called “primary school” and 3 weeks for high schools..
and then the last bit ended in Dec...
No more school
No more books
No more teachers’ dirty looks
