Why my classes are starting so late…
After talking with another teacher earlier this week, apparently (part of the reason) why my classes are starting so late is that incoming freshmen have 2 weeks of Military Physical training/Boot Camp before coming to class. If they don’t make it through the university, they have to do military service (since the public is paying for their education). I guess this is to partly scare them into being more serious about school (not that most probably aren’t already). This seems like a pretty good deal…Free education (and I think free room & board as well, not books though), just don’t mess up or you’ll have to join the army
