Summer school

[kellifer]

So, any and all assistance appreciated from my US counterparts... I have some specific questions about Summer School for a story that's been rolling around in my head for a little while. Since I'm is Aus and we don't really have it here... there's some things I don't know...

1. When does it run? Is it a specific time or is it up to the region/school (both the months and the hours - is it a 9-3 thing?).

2. Do you go for one subject/multiple/only the ones you need to make up (and on that...)

3. Is it likely to go if you've missed enough school through the year that you would fail otherwise?

4. Can you go to any summer school (not just the one run by the school you've just attended)?

One of my sisters took physical ed over the summer freshman year so that she didn't have to take the sophomore PE class, the last year you have to take it at my high school. Another sister took math for summer because of failing and she was able to do much better because of being able to concentrate without worrying about other subjects. And my third sister and I took driver's education, road and range. For all of these classes we all had to pay for them over $300. Though we stayed in the district our classes were at a different high school from the one we went to. Another note is that sometimes these schools wouldn't bother much with air conditioning, and it's harder to get a good teacher willing to waste their summer vacation teaching. Good luck.
