starting

  2. My mother, and my teachers starting with kindergarten, told me to do exercise.

    Please check all the sentences and comment.

I would say “starting on May 13th”. Depending on context, it may be easier to say “Our examinations for the year 2010 started on May 13th”.

Otherwise, what you have written looks OK.
