and that used to be the case here. when and why did it change? with out trying to make a political point, was it when education started to be used as a tool for social engineering? does that happen elsewhere?
yes, i recall the last week and half of school year was a write-off, and similar on the week before Christmas, most subjects either a "revision" class, or watch a video.
why didnt they just shift the holiday one week later, same effect for holiday prices (as long as no on else does it), same amount of time off for required parents?
