yep, you’ve all heard that sin-filled word before!!!
anyways, I’m so sick of homework. I go to school for 6-and-a-quarter hours a day, 5 days a week. I work my freaking socks off, get screamed at (literally, everyday, right in my face, lose my lunchtime nearly everyday because the teachers can’t be stuffed to move their @$$es to actually teach us anything, then I go home, needing a rest from it all. And i have to do more work!!!
I’m losing my social life, and i keep having insomonia (sp?), because i’m worrying if i forgot to do some homework.
But meh, i don’t care about homework in for tuesday. I’m going to an Arctic Monkeys concert
Hey Shem you in year 11 right or are you in year 10? you ready for GCSE Exams! I’m worried sick i’m trying to revise as much as possible since i got such crap mock results
Homework is evil. I spent most of my school years (ok ALL of my school years) avoiding it like the plague. As long as you get high marks and you hand in what you get marked on, it’s okay, I think.
I never do homework, … but that’s because the teachers don’t care…
In the Netherlands we have a stupid system called the “studiehuis” (starts from 4th grade of HAVO(=senior general secondary education) and VWO(=pre-university education)) which is meant to prepare students for university education, since homework is done independent on university’s.
The only problem is… it doesn’t work at all, nobody does his/her homework, -Why would you anyway? - and the quality of education has dropped quite drastically XD.
I keep forgetting homework… at the moment i’m too busy… cos i’m watching bleach… actuall;y, i’m not sure if i got homework over the holidays… HOW SADISTIC IS THAT? HOLIDAY HOMEWORK! The one time we are supposed to relax and have a break, they pile a load of homework and SATS revision on us! To be honest, i’ve never revised in my life. Why start now?
I’m on vacation now too…but I have a take home test along with 10 other essays to do. My plan is to mass-produce essays. I’ll do the outlines of all, then the intros, then the first, and so on. I’ll have all ten done, but that’s only if I can get the will to do it.
The only bad thing about my situation is that I was absent on the last day before break, so it’s possible for there to have been loads of homework that I don’t even know about.
Dude, maybe not. here is something that might help you. Test results are on average better, when preceded by bouts of laughter. Basically, have lots of fun before a test, laugh a lot, and you will do better. You’ll be relaxed, and it will all come flooding back. Just relax, listen to some music, even bring a little mascot if you must. But remember, this test is YOUR test. Nobody elses. Do it your way.
I guess your right , i am pretty nervous because my whole life depends on these test results. I know that if i study i can ace the tests. But remember i said “if”. I am very lazy and i always put off revision.
Since i have two weeks of no school, i thought i could do about 4-5 hours revision a day. It’s been three days and each day i’ve only revised for 2 hours thinking “oh well there is always tommorow”
No need for that much revision. Just one hour will do. You may need to revise, but cramming will do no good. Just make sure you learn the essentials, and that you can remember the rest. If you put a complicated answer, whilst mising the essentials, you will not get the marks.
yup… tell me about it, ive spent so many years in school, im acutally at my last year now… we have so much work, right now im to exhausted to do anything at all almost… but im coping through this year aswell… i maybe not have as good grades as i used to but im making it… school life sucks, im so happy im on my last 2 months of it
Hmm I guess I ought to take a step back and look at my work load.
School- 8AM - 3PM
Mandatory Afterschool Activity- 3:45-6:00
Mandatory Studyhall- 8:00-10:00
Average Homework load per day 2.5 hours
School Days- Six days a week, yes six
Although, the teachers are great and have a true passion for teaching and honestly care for their students. I have multiple friends, good ones at that, among the faculty. So its fun, but a hell of a lot of work.
