[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]But do Russian HS students get 3 months off in summer?[/quote] yes, almost 3 month school year starts September 1st, ends in May, then end of year exams first week of June. [/quote] Sorry to hijack the thread, but I have also often wondered where the claim "kids around the world spend more days in school" comes from. I also went to school in the f.USSR and we had a full 3 months of summer vacation plus two weeks in the winter (no fall or spring break though) and I don't remember our school days being that much longer either. That claim might have been true 30 years ago when both kids and adults in USSR has six day work weeks, but it is certainly not true any more. P.S. Our school day started at 8am, and because smaller neighborhood schools you could walk to in less than 15 minutes were the rule, few students had to wake up before 7. [/quote]
