Title: Point of going to school now?
Post by: acinod on October 17, 2011, 01:28:38 pm
Not sure about other schools but nothing happens at our school in the few days we have left.  It's basically go to school, sit down and study. Oh right, we also have singing rehearsals.

Isn't it better to stay home? Is there any point of going to school now?

I know I'm suppose to enjoy my last few days of high school but school just seems so pointless right now...

This thought has crossed my mind, but I find that being around teachers all day is helpful. Plus it breaks up the day by going to school.

I like being at school, spending time with people I might never see again!

I personally get no work done at all in school. I end up talking in all my classes and wasting 6 valuable hours where I can complete 2-3 prac exams..

At this point, unless you're struggling in some classes you shouldn't go. A lot of kids aren't rocking up so you get some 1 on 1 time with your teacher which is helpful. Especially for English, at least for me.

Still very much worth going to school, well it is for me - i still have a sac. Anyway school is fun! Ill definitely miss seeing all my mates everyday :(
But the one on one sessions that you can have with your teahvers are invaluable. If you're struggling with some topics then it would be a great time to get extra help!

Guys, it's your last week of school forever! I'll admit that 98% of the people at my school I never want to see again, but at least try and be a little nostalgic about it! Today was the final ever monday! and tomorrow will be the last ever tuesday! Soon we'll be finished forever...

but yeah, I'm not going to go for the whole day any more. Just for my top 3 subjects. A lot of it does just seem like a waste of time now.

Yeah I've thought the same thing myself but tbh school is a far superior environment then home when it comes to exam prep. With a day at home I struggle to get out of bed until past 2 in arvo and even then constantly find distractions from homework. School on the other hand is for study!

Oh, and think about all the people you can spend time with over the last few days, some of which you may never hear from again :/

I actually do find it useful to go to school. Although i'm mainly just doing practice exams in class and such, some good class discussions do occur when everyone's doing exam revision. Also, some people ask me some interesting questions which helps both of us.

The environment makes it easy to study as well. During our SWOTVAC period i'll just be going to school on most days with 3/4 practice exams to just sit there and do them.

Academically, it's most of the time better to stay at home unless your teachers know what they are doing and you take advantage of it. School = free teacher to ask questions about exams, sit in class and still do practice exams/multi choice questions.

More importantly, last week of high school... You'll miss the place more than you think

+1. I don't care that I get no work done in my frees, or during class at all; I only have a week left! *sniff* :'(

Wow, I envy you, how do you do 3-4 prac exams in a row? That would knock me out!

I get more work done at school than at home (but that is changing nowadays)
So since the teachers don't do anything, I do exams in class, and occasionally ask teacher questions. Shrug.
