Sorry, my question may seem strange but i have no conception about your educational system. You`re a foreigner for me, so i`m interested in things that are usual for you. In what month does the school year start in USA? When it ends?
The school year generally starts sometime in August (middle to late) but some schools start in September. School ends in late May to the middle of June. Year-round schools are different; they go to school for a few weeks, have a week or two off, and repeat the cycle, the reason being kids forget a lot of school during summer break and teachers have to spend a lot of time reteaching (in other words, they think it's more efficent to work then take short breaks throughout the year).
Yup, we Christmas shop. However, we aren't allowed to celebrate holidays at school due to people at my school that don't celebrate them due to religous beliefs. In other words, we get time off for Thanksgiving, Christmas, and Labor Day but we aren't allowed to do things in school celebrating them. During Valentine's Day, students can buy flowers for each other from our student advisory board, but that's about it.
The ironic part is that I want to get out of the US. Yes, I love my country, and I'm proud to be an American (and a military brat) but I want to go explore the rest of the world while I go to school to be a vet tech (there's a school in Ireland). My best friend wants to be a vet and open her own no-kill animal shelter so I'd come back to the US then, at least. It's cool that you love the US though. :)
