School

The school has wound me up somehow today. We got the day off because of snow. And that's not the reason that I'm wound up. I'm so happy that we've had the day off it's unbelievable.

But then comes the issue of tomorrow. They've said on the school website that they plan to open the school for years 11, 12, and 13. I'm in year 12.

You see I wouldn't have necessarily have minded if the school was open for everyone. And I do take into account for the fact that the younger ones are not as responsible as the older ones.

But I don't think that that gives them a reason to risk the safety and health of staff and the students. Just because we're older doesn't mean we have a less chance of slipping on the ice.

Especially if it's coming from me. I'm probably the biggest klutz of the school. I fall over flat surfaces, seriously. So, does it necessarily mean that I have a less chance of falling and breaking something than other children do.

I understand that people have exams to do. I honestly do. I can see why they would want to open the school for that. But can't they like, put something up on the website, ask the teachers to provide past papers so that the students to download. Obviously they've finished that module of the course if they're sitting it. So why not do something like that. And putting up the answer sheet so they know where they're going wrong. If they cheat on it, it's not the teachers they're fooling. It's themselves. They're not going to learn anything by just copying the answers down.

But that's just my opinion. People are going to bash my opinion.
It probably just sounds like a whiny child begging for another day off school. And that's what it is really. I can't help but wanting more time off. Am I not allowed that luxury? To want what I can't have?


On a side note.
Have you ever had one of those random impulses that your hand has to be on paper writing something? I've had it a lot recently. I'm not complaining about it. I think it's great. I love the fact that I've finally got some creative juices flowing. They've sort of been on a standstill for a while now. So lets just hope that it amounts to something...
