study in 5th year. I’m not saying in anyways that I am not greatful for it, I love getting home with no books and just relaxing or doing other activities but there is a lot of things
that really annoy me about study. First of all, they separate out the year groups, seen as only like ten 5th years do it I’m lucky to be near one or two, but where they’re out and
you forget a book you have nobody to ask for it. This wouldn’t be a problem if
they didn’t keep us like prisoners inside the study hall! Not to mention when
you need to go to the toilet, you ‘Need to show it in your face that you need to
go’, I for one simply cannot hold it for 2 hours! The next thing is the fact
that you can’t do certain homework there, such as French Aural or colour in your
diagram for Geography! So you’re sitting there at 5 o clock, homework finished
and not in the mood to start revising something you really should be and you sit
there for a pointless hour knowing the torture of listening to your French tape
like 6 times when you get home. I can learn to deal with them, I guess… But the
main thing that drives me up the wall is getting a ‘discipline slip’ in Study.
Study is afterschool and you should definatly not get something put down on your
school record for not brining in for being absent from study, I don’t see why
they care so much I paid for it, it should be my choice if I want to attend or
not! All I can say to anyone who has never sat in that study hall until 6 in
the evening, every evening; When you’re doing your homework every evening,
think of me stuck in that oven of a room and think how lucky you are that you
can use the toilet when you need to!
