When does your school year end this year? I feel like my school year is really long. We always start the last week of August, and usually end at the end of June.

There was a huge power outage last month (NH) and for just that storm we missed 6 days of school. They are actually talking about taking away our april vacation if we have any more. :(

How much time is wasted at the end of the school year? My kids finish school on June 21. They go to a public school (which is good aside from the rant you are about to read) For the last 3 weeks, they have done practically nothing educational. They have taken field trips to water parks, watched movies in class, played games, had a picnic....etc. There has been no projects, homework........nothing. There were 3 final exams (2 hours) in this 3 week period that would qualify as education. What has happened is that the teachers have completed the state mandaded educational requirements, and then stop. The kids have to go to school to meet the 180 day requirement even though nothing is being taught. One of two things should happen. 1) Continue to teach until school lets out or 2) Let the kids go on vacation Lets stop this farce at the end of the year just to meet the 180 day requirement. For the record I live in NJ. We supposedly have one of the best educational systems. So, How much time is wasted in your system?

Is there a secret workout or just plain work out that could have me touching rim by the end of the year and if I stick to it, dunk by the end of 9th grade? Thank you!

How long is your school year? When does it begin and end? I've recently realized that around the world, school begins and ends at different times.

(BC & ON) How about you? :)

Should parents be able to review teachers at the end of the school year? I am frustrated with dead beat teachers that you hear about year after year from other parents but the principal does nothing about. I think that at the end of the year parents should be able to give our childrens teachers performance reviews. Do you think that this would be a good idea and helpful to the principal to see what kind of job the teacher is really doing? I forgot to mention, my children have also had some wonderful teachers that I would like to commend during the review process.

What is a unique gift to give a third grade teacher for an end of the school year present? I have been a parent volunteer since my oldest started kindergarten in 1984 and have helped with numerous end of the school year parties. My youngest is in 3rd grade and I think my creativity has taken a leave of absence (or just too tired). I am just not coming up with any ideas for a teacher present this year. What are some good teacher gifts that you can think of? Some of the things I have done in the past are gift certificates to restaurants, teacher stores, sporting events, book stores; fabric painted sweatshirts, tote bags, aprons with kids' names and handprints; flowers, plants, and trees; one year I did a summer survival kit with sunscreen, a book, a sun hat, etc, in a styrafoam cooler. All of these are thoughtful gifts and appreciated by teachers. Does anyone have other suggestions for truly unique gift ideas? Thanks!

I need new ideas for an end of the school year party? I've hosted one every year since 4th grade? Ever since fourth grade, I've basically started a tradition of holding the end of the school year party. Ever year, it's basically about 20-30 friends hanging out at my house. We usually order pizza, turn on some music, chat, etc. Everyone loves my parties, don't get me wrong, but I really want to do something different. I tried doing something different last year with a rave theme. I bought black lights and glow sticks and stuff like that and it was the best end of the school year party so far. This year, we're holding the party outside on a really big patio we have in our backyard. Are there any themes you can think of that aren't cheesey, perfect for teenagers around 16 years old, and not too expensive. I'm going to have around $200 to spend on this party. So any tips on themes, food, decorations, etc. would be very helpful. Thanks! :] By the way, I don't own a pool so I can't do any kind of pool party themes.

So, for the end of the school year, i have to write a history paper... does this make sense? on the last day of school, my mom will grade this [i'm homeschooled] but i don't want to spend my first day of "summer" re-writing and corracting a paper... Does this whole paper make sense, or do some paragraphs seem like they don;t belong? this is just a rough draft, so I havn't edited spelling and grammer mistakes yet. also, it's not done yet.. i have more to add at the end. History Class 2008-2009 In the past [2008-2009] school year, my history class has handed to me the knowledge of past times, from when Kings ruled and peasants begged up to present time. History is not just the knowledge of knowing , but understanding how we came to be how we are. Throughout history, we see our world change. Imagine you were a queen or king living in a castle in the 1400’s. What would you have thought if someone told you that in year to come you would have light and heating without candles and fire places? Indeed, mankind has come a long way since those times. Something that stood out in my [2008-2009] history class was the made up characters in books written in the 1800’s. There was Adam from Adam of the Road and Dick from The Black Arrow. In Adam of the Road a young boy will do anything to reunite with his dog, Nick. And in The Black Arrow Dick is the “Shining Knight in Armor” that every young girl dreams about. It seems as though most books and movies coming out today are very much like those of the 1800’s, but with a modern twist. A much surprising story I learned about this year was the Crusades. It simply amazes me how much fighting and hate went on between the Muslims and the Christains. The christains very badly wanted to recapter Jerusalem and the Holy Land from Muslim rule and after a very long time, they did. My favorite person I learned about in this class was Alfred the Great. He was born in 849 and ruled much of the southern Anglo-Saxon kingdom of Wessex from 871 to his death on October 26, 899. He died of unknown causes, but some believe it was his enemies, trying to take over his kingdom. Others believe that he committed suicide. Whatever the cause of his death, he has made an impact on history forever. A date that seemed very important from my history class was August 3, 1492. This was the day that Christopher Columbus discovered America. If he hadn’t discovered America, many people would have been living lives they didn’t want to live. When we first came to America, we still didn’t have freedom. So a date that goes hand in hand with August 3, 1492 was in 1798, when George Washington gave us our freedom. Washington went on late to become our first president who will still honor today. Adam of the Road was my favorite text throughout my history class. It told of a brave young boy, staying at a boarding school, who went on adverntures and lived his dreams of seeing the world. It all started when his father had come to take him out of school, and live the life of an entertainer. Adam learned how to teach his bleoved dog, Nick, new tricks, and how please his auddience. After a jealous competor steals Nick, Adam and his father get split up trying to locate him. After many weeks and months, Adam is reunited with his dog and father again and lives the rest of his life traveling the world.

When does your university school year start and end? And when are the breaks? I have no idea how a university school year works. I'm so confused. I've heard their are two semesters, and you get a three month break in winter vs summer.

Has it always been this way? I'm doing a paper on the 1940s, so does anyone know about universities in the 1940s?
