Oh well, if we're going to play this game... I just started a university course. Some days I'm in from 10am to 10pm some days it's not so bad. But whatever, you're working a job right? So that means you're superior to people in education. Oh, did I also mention that I get 2 weeks of holiday in my first year and that I have to pay £20,000 for fees not including all the money I have to spend doing a 2 hour each way commute?cleverlymadeup said:
Well then. Don't pick on people because they're younger than you, I seem to remember Danny saying he worked a job as well but I wouldn't swear to it. He's also one of the few people I know that revised for GCSE exams.
Anyway, he didn't complain about how long the days are, what he said was they should move the hours around because you know what? It's not a job. It's a totally different thing and there's been research that's proven that you're less likely to learn things early in the morning and I'd be suprised if there hasn't been any research to support that you learn less when you learn in long chunks as opposed to smaller ones.
At my old 6th form, we used to have hour long lessons with a 5 minutes break in between them then a a 15 minutes break at 11ish and a 40 minute break at 1ish. I say used to, the principle left and the new guy got rid of these break as they weren't productive. Pass rates took a dive. I passed all mine though so it's aces.
On topic, America needs a better school system. No questions asked about that. I don't know how it's spread out these days but there needs to be a better standard of teaching in state schools. It's not right that people should be given a better education by financial standing like they do in America.
