Aside from Mondays, your school had about the same amount of time as mine did. :\ Weird.

England gets completely screwed when it comes to school vacations. The summer break is only six weeks long at the moment and the government have been planning on shortening that to just four weeks in the next year or two.
Not the most screwed things the government are doing for schools, though.

The lottery idea is much, much worse.

Depends on the school.

My primary was 6 hr 20 mins.

But My secondary that I'm going to is 6 hr 25, 7 hr 25 on Mondays.
I wish I went to your school. My school week went like this:

Monday: 9am-4:30pm
Tuesday: 9am-4:pm
Wednesday: 9am-4.30pm
Thursday: 9am-4pm
Friday: 9am-3pm*

*If you did an extra course class like Latin, Statistics etc then Friday would've been 9am-5pm.

Also, we had one fifteen minute break at about 11am and then a 50 minute lunch break at 1pm.

Instead of kids choosing their secondary school they all get put into a draw to see which school (in their area) they go too.

So really a kid could land up with no mates in a crap school that he/she hates.

Dawson's school makes more sense to me. o_o For longer breaks and more days off, longer days would be expected.

And...that makes no sense. ._.; If they want to send kids to different schools, do it by testing or something. I dunno. But lottery doesn't sound right at all.

My school used to be from 8:17 to 2:22. :o

The schools might have shorter recess/lunch break times. :O That's usually why there are discrepancies in school times.

My school day starts at 8:30am to 3:00pm.

And that lottery idea is stupid. D: I'd be stuffed if I was put in a draw to find out which school I was going to be in, because the 2nd nearest secondary school from me is about a 30 minutes walk. And I wouldn't be able to get a ride to school, seeing as my dad leaves for work about 7am. x_x

If the summer holidays were shortened to just 4 weeks. I'd be gutted. ;_;

o_O; You have to stay longer if you don't bus? So the walking-distance students are kinda shafted? That sucks. XD;

^^ Wow.... 7:30?? O.o That's like when I begin to stir in bed...

My school starts at 8:45am and goes through till 3:30pm. But somehow, I still manage to be late for school at times, even though I only live about 5mins away by car.

That's what I thought about at 7:30 too but by the time I got home it was only 3:00. It was great!! But now that's gone. :(

I prefer a later school starting time. That may only be because I like sleeping in... xDD

But I suppose an early time would have an effect on the whole day, wouldn't it? I could see people being really tired each day if that was so early for getting up just to get to school. I remember when I was in Japan I had to get up at 6:00ish and that was horrible because I'm used to sleeping in ...

I'm running late if I wake up at 6am. I wake up at 5-5:30, get ready, wake myself up, go to school. Only good thing is, I get home like at 3. If there's football practice, then 5. Either way, it's all good. XD

Wow... 5-6am?? That's like... early as. xD I'd be like in a "hang-over" like mood if I woke up at that sort of time. ;D

Actually, that might just be due to my lack of sleep... =X

It doesn't bother me, once my sleep cycle is on track, it's all good. XD

But I felt sorry for the elementary schools that start at 8:30, and switching over to middle school (get there @ 7). I love when they complain, but I'm off to high school, so... yay? XD

Yeah no one really becomes active until mid 2nd period. I too enjoy sleeping in but I had to get up a 6 to catch the bus anyway. But now I get to sleep in somewhat but I wont get home until 4.

People don't start waking up until 3rd period, usually. XD It's really funny the first day of school when people are dragging everything.

First day of school after a long break is always a laugh... especially when it's been like the Summer holidays and 8 weeks out of school routine. You can just immediately distinguish between the slackers and the energetic, enthusiastic ones for school.
