STUDY LEAVE.

[Xarea]

i'm really annoyed.

this time last year, the current y11 had study leave.

we haven't even been told if we're getting it - just "watch this space".

for the last three years, our school sends a letter home on a thursday night, arriving on saturday, basically saying "dont come back unless for exams"

all other schools in the area are on study leave as of now, or are on it by friday.

i'm really annoyed, i don't think we're going to get study leave

Not many schools are this year for some reason? :S
We do, we finish on friday

[buttons]

Yeah a lot of schools aren't getting this year, do you have to go in when you don't have an exam? We don't but it's been reduced anyway, we only get 2 days off before our first exam whereas last year they got a week n a bit ;_;

Our study leave hasn't really been confirmed, but we been told it will be around the 19th May anyway.

My study leave started on the 27th... Our dates were fixed from the beginning of the year. Y11 has study leave first, then Y12 a week after and Y13 another week after.

EDIT: My first exam was last Thursday which was AS German oral, so I don't think it really counts. Physics practical next Tuesday!

I've only got two days aswell, but me being sensible I am going to go in for revision sessions which are held at the times of our normal lessons, which is good

i personally believe not having study leave is better as i for one would actually do work in college, whereas at home i'd do nothing.

My study leave is tomorrow, final day.
Well not confirmed but the leavers assembly is tomorrow last two and they tell us not to come in next day.

Yeah, thats the thing I am still going to go in for 80% of my lessons if I want a decent grade.

I see no sense in notifying you of study leave towards your exam dates...

It all depends on your discipline and how smart you are. If you're like certain people in my grade, you don't even need to study at all. One of my friends sleeps in class and gets 95%+ for class tests, which are harder than the actual exam.
