  Er,
  Sorry to interupt this powerful and meaningful thread, but I have a 
  rather trivial question;

  When does school start in Britian? and when does it end?

  Actually, in the UK, we have a similar system because of differing climates. 

  In Scotland, the end of the academic year is much earlier. Do not know how much but I do know they start their academic year in mid August. Whereas for the most part, school resumes in early September and runs until the mid to end of July. This is in the public school ( state ) system. Private schools, independant fee paying schools decide individually when their terms ( the trimester system ) start and end. They finish for the summer much earlier generally and go back slightly later.
