Hang Out and Post

School years seem to start so early now. I remember when I was in school, a lot didn't start until Sept. (At one point, they pushed it back further in Sept. because of the heat, and the main school district's schools didn't have A/C.)

Things have changed though. When I was in grade school, our winter break was nearly a month. I remember my mom always trying to figure out what to do with my sister and I during that time. Now it's super short.

Well it's a poor holiday at best. Before you know it, I'll get Christmas Eve and Christmas Day off, then I'm back to school that soon.

 

And the break homework, don't get me started. They say "have an awesome break!", and then they stuff you with homework to the point you can't do ANYTHING during the break.

I don't remember getting much homework before holiday breaks.

 

At least you get time off. Now, with my job, I don't get holidays off, unless I request them off, and take vacation time. (My job is 24/7, so if a holiday falls in your scheduled days, you have to work it, unless you take it off.)

I've been having summer homework since I graduated from elementary. It was required every summer for my middle school. And this year it's to see if I can peform to the standards of the school.

 

For 8th grade, I had to do a 100 question Math packet, 3 book reports, and a 2 page essay on what I want to learn from 8th grade Social Studies. It's hard for me to say "World War 1 and World War 2" for 2 pages without repeating myself.

It's not fun at all, but I guess homework, even over a vacation, is part of the school life. But since you're going to HS, you don't have much longer left of school life, until college. Which is usually pretty different.

Good morning! I got here early today.

 

My HS had two weeks off for Christmas. At the university, you get about a month. I don't think that applies to me anymore though.

 

I usually had summer readings for my English classes. I think that's about it.
