god, tell me about it. i had to go back in my last term and i didn't even have any lessons, just rehearsals (that we had to arrange for ourselves) for our performance (that we had to arrange). who exactly am i paying here.

I've had at least 3 months off each year for the past 3 years, still isn't long enough :(

In case you were wondering... Scottish Highers are equivalent to English AS-Levels. AS-level being the first half of an A-level, the second half being an A2-level. Scottish Advanced Highers are equivalent to a whole A-level, but they are done over the course of a single year (whereas a complete A-level is normally done over 2 years, 1 for AS and 1 for A2).

In Ireland most schools get 3 months off, i think that's more than fair, shame you're british lol

Blatantly because we can afford to keep our schools open longer

Six weeks is plenty in my opinion. I get bored after a while?
