We don't get it in the USA. All my friends are back home at Canadian schools, but we don't get one, at least in ND.

The question still remains, what is reading week??? What is that like the Canadian version of "Read to Achieve???" Just wondering.

A week off school, basically.

Reading week is the week before your finals so you can "study".

So it's like dead week??? You guys celebrate the week before final exams??? Are you guy actually celebrating taking your final exams??? Here in the United States people usually celebrate after taking their final exams. I guess it's different, different culture and all, but this is interesting. Thanks for letting me know.

I live in Houston and we get it. Your not suppose to party, it is for studying. If you go to the school you will see a lot of students there actually studying. Luckily I am not one of them.

I had an australian come to my school in January and they said they just start school in February. That means they just started this month. That might not mean anything to you guys or this topic. I never even knew that. And that is kind of weird to me.

Jabes · 03-01-2007, 08:36 AM

So you guys have finals in March? Or do you get "reading week" before midterms too?

My school eliminated dead week to save money, the bastards.

Exam are in mid to late April.

This is basically like spring break in highschool...you don't study or read..you party...well i actually am doing some work because i have to finish 5 essays in less than a month.
