In NZ schools run from late January to late November/early December.
University semesters depend on the university, but my uni's first semester starts in late February and ends in June, whereas second semester starts in July and ends in November if I remember correctly.
Yeah I'm a first year uni student and I don't even know when my year finishes...
that sounds awful. my school luckily doesn't start until the end of august but that still seems too soon to me
😢
Schools here start in September and ends in late June (elementary to high school). University and college programs usually go from September to late April (or at least mine did, I think most do).
In here the first semester is from late January to late June and the second semester starts in early August/late July if you're lucky" enough and ends in late November. I heard it gets worse in 12th grade.
Ah okay. Here, kids get one large break in the summer instead of two smaller breaks. I'm not sure why we operate on a two-month break system. It might be partially the weather, or perhaps the agricultural cycle (though I think that one's just a myth? I'm not sure). Many (or perhaps most) schools here do not have air conditioning.
Mom once said she had around 3 months of summer break back in her time

I guess the breaks really do centre around when summertime is, eh? That makes sense though.

I would've been super jealous of that when I was still in school. One extra month of summer would've been great!

Look, I don't know about Singapore, but having to pay the fine for lost books here is forking expensive.
It's like this in Singapore:
3.1 Overdue Fines
Overdue fines are charged at $0.15 per book/magazine/CD-ROM with accompanying book per day and $0.50 per audio-visual item/e device per day.
Items should be returned before midnight (12.00am) for the stated due date, due items returned after midnight (12.00am) will incur overdue charges.
Your borrowing privileges will be suspended once charges are incurred in your library account. They will be restored once the outstanding fines are settled.
Also, all public libraries are connected, so if you have a charge, you can't borrow any books from any library too in this case and get away with it. LOL.
And this for lost books:
For every item lost/damaged, the member will have to pay the cost of the item lost/damaged, administrative fee of $7.15 per item, and $1.05 for lost/damaged video tape and CD-ROM casing.
Replacements for lost/damaged items will not be accepted.
There will be no refund once payment is made even if the lost item is found later.

I don't believe they have a fee at our library. Which is why it really confused me when somebody was unable to rent a series because he had $16 in late fees? I couldn't do anything about it but tell him to come back some other day when someone who could do something...

Have you ever kept a library book and not return it back?
Yes
Ha! It's not just me!
We had misplaced it, and thought it was returned in a stack on books before, so we talked to the library about it...they wanted us to replace the book with damaged fines (which was more than the price of the book, we could've replaced it for them cheaper) and they wouldn't even take the book. So we kept it and never paid the fines...I think I owe the local library around $300 in late fees now...
Most likely caught as scum and best theme-Google Translate, 4th annual Scummies win!
Would you trade in your pet (or one of your pets) for a million dollars? You are guaranteed that your pet will be in safe hands but you will never get to see them again.

I don't have a pet
One of your loved one then, although I think this might not really be equivalent to a pet. XD

It costs more because it is a library copy. Video rentals replacements also cost more. This is because for them to legally allow people to borrow it, they have to pay more. This is to make up for the fact that people will be viewing it without paying the publisher the cost of the book (or the production company the cost of the movie).

I mean, knowing that this fella here is generous (and obviously filthy rich) enough to give you a million dollars I'd be assuming that my pet would be better off in their hands than mine. They could probably offer better food, better toys for them to play with and even a luxurious king-size double bed. Surely I would miss my pet but to think that they're in good care living a fantastic life somewhere safe and sound is enough for me to let go.

Good to see you bonding over this. 😂😂

I mean... I don't do it now. It'd be hard to forget when I'm at the library at least 4 hours a week.

I guess your library is similar to ours.
