I think we need too have our summer holidays extended! It seems like they are only just beginning and yet are about too end (in Scotland). Sure 6 weeks seems like a long time but it really isn't.... Plus they expect us too do homework over the summer! Conclusion - School sucks, but it's got to be done :/
Northern Ireland gets longer holidays than rest of uk >:}
To be quite honest, it is plenty and tbh I think it would be a much short period which much more spread out smaller holidays but isn't because a) its the popular time for holidays and b) the blazing heat in summer is horrible to work in and the summer holiday takes up a fair chunk of it. If anything, I would have preferred to have shorter holidays. I've been off properly since around june 20th (but between that exam and my last was like 2 weeks soo...) and it's become dull with the lack of movies and general lack of things to do now whereas if the holidays are more spaced out you can see a different movie in each one (hypothetically) and you can repeat doing things without it getting repeatitive. So really if I had it my way I'd cut 2 weeks off of it and put it around the beginning of june and push easter back at the same time. Then maybe cut another week off and put it later in the year. But as said there is the horrible heat to work with then which could just discourage learning. I think the education system on the whole needs to be looked at to be quite honest.
what lol just wait till you have to actually work, in every weather and even if you're ill then you can complain :P 6 weeks is a long, long time and I agree with dbgtz, shorter holidays are better. i've been off since 10th June (last exam) and don't go back to college till September. can't wait to go back i'm so bored :(
Exactly! I get about 6 weeks off a year. Enjoy the summer holidays whilst you can, because you once you get a proper job, you'll be lucky to get 2 weeks off at a time
For me it becomes too long! Towards the end of the holidays I get bored and actually want to go back to college. :P
wait til you get to uni, i finished lessons in APRIL. and i'm not going back (well i've left anyway but) til the first week of october.
6 weeks is more than enough so stop crying. You can play Habbo after school when you go back, don't worry kiddo.
I just re-read and noticed you said "school sucks". Trust me, when you leave school for the last time you will miss it sooner or later. And as Lord Sugar once said (roughly), take what you can from school as what you're getting is free.
Also out of curiosity, what year are you in?
